Melbourne boss Brian Waldron says there is an orchestrated campaign to de-stabilise his club after another Storm tackling technique was put under the microscope.

Waldron laughed off claims his players had introduced a new illegal tackle - extravagantly named the Chicken Wing - to the NRL.

The Storm are alleged to deliberately twist the non ball-carrying arm of an opponent into a dangerous position in a tackle.

The tackle was discussed on NRL on Fox on Wednesday night and referees' boss Robert Finch and NRL chief operating officer Graham Annesley both raised the issue with Storm coach Craig Bellamy on Thursday.

Bellamy agreed the tackles, one by Steve Turner and another by Adam Blair in the past two weeks, looked ordinary but believes they were "probably accidents" and vowed his players would clean up their act.

"There were two of them that were ordinary, without a doubt," said Bellamy.

"But I don't see anything else that's a great problem in our tackling style and it always seems to come up.

"We'll certainly do our best to clean that up and we've got no problems if referees take action against those sort of tackles."

Waldron said while his players pushed the boundaries, they don't deliberately attempt to hurt an opponent.

"The reality is we don't do anything that is not within the rules of the game," Waldron told Melbourne radio SEN.

"Like everyone we push it as far as we can but certainly not to maim anyone."

Waldron believes the issue was leaked to the media this week and is part of a campaign to unsettle his club.

The fact it was raised on the eve of the Storm's clash with fierce rivals Brisbane was not lost on Waldron.

"The Broncos would not do that, surely not," he replied sarcastically.

"They've been known to send DVDs in the past complaining about issues pertaining to certain clubs.

"It's another example of people trying to knock off the tally poppy ... all these people trying to de-stabilise us.

"I reckon if we were sitting bottom they wouldn't give a toss about it."

But Brisbane assistant coach Ivan Henjak said the Broncos were unaware of the latest furore surrounding the Storm.

"I've been a bit oblivious to all that but I hear there is a bit of storm broken out overnight about it," said Henjak.

"The officials have been made aware of it and I'm pretty sure they'll handle it, it's not a big issue for us.

"The things that amuses me are all the funny names that come out for all the moves, I'm getting quite a laugh out of it."

Waldron also fired a shot at the NRL for failing to properly address the issue with Bellamy until now.

He says the NRL sent a vague email to the coach earlier in the week but has called for them to make better attempts to communicate with his club.

"I am disappointed and will be talking to the relevant personnel at the NRL that if you want to communicate with our people the most common form of communication which is most effective is to talk to people rather than send emails," said Waldron.

"Pick up the damn phone and talk to them ... (emails) it's just a cop out and cheap way of doing things.

"If that happened earlier in week (the story) may not have evolved into what it is now."
