Thanks Dragons !! Eels loss means we still stay ahead of them on the ladder if they beat us next week ( unless they beat us by more than 42 points ). This is a huge boost for our top 2 chances.

Not happy Jan but I'm thinking with Suli out, Sandor Earl on the wing.

I would love to see Lumelume get a go

Still on good shape, last two weeks proves we have the depth and players. Parra were pretty bad last night, they will come out firing but I don't fear them as much as the Rortsters.

Saw photos or video of Cooper Johns, Sandor Earl and Aaron Booth on Storm's social media today. I wonder if that is an omen / sign or just a coincidence.

At least once . Jokes aside though, at least two if them are in the frame this week since Suli is down (Earl a chance) and Hughes is under a cloud (Johns).

If Earl plays and marks up against Sivo it could be career ending...

I'd rather try Lumelume

With 6 rounds remaining, the Storm are the best attacking (374) and the best defensive team (168).

Despite a slow start, our Points Differential (206) is 50 points better than second place (Roosters and Panthers - 156).

The fact that we aren't leading the comp is a testament to how well the Panthers are playing. Coming into Round 15 and they have only suffered 1 loss. Quite amazing.

Injured list for each team;

Storm
Suliasi Vunivalu (jaw, TBC)
Max King (Achilles, round 15)
Jahrome Hughes (groin, TBC)
Cameron Smith (shoulder, round 16)
Marion Seve (ear, round 16-17)
Cameron Munster (knee, round 16-17)
Tui Kamikamica (lower back, finals)
Paul Momirovski (finger, finals)

Eels
Peni Terepo (indefinite)

Pretty funny that we've now scored the most points. Would love to know the efficiency of converting field position and redzone opportunities into points. Don't focus on other teams like I do for us but hard to imagine we're tops there. Defence is obviously a strong point outside of the right edge.

How far we go in the finals will depend on how both those two things go.

One thing I don't see us do, that is common when I watch other games as a neutral, is that we don't concede many or any soft tries.
