I wonder what would happen if the club got penalised excessively on the back of this and then took the league to court?

To a large extent, it has never really stopped being the NSWRL.

On Friday night, Suliasi Vunivalu is set to become the 37th player to play 100 games for the Storm. Congratulations Suli.

Suli is the 6th leading try scorer in Storm history with 76. (Behind Slater 190, Geyer 113, Cronk 92, Chambers 82 and Inglis 78) and is our 8th leading point scorer.

Other than Scott Drinkwater and Josh Graham who both scored a try in their only match for the Storm. Suli has the best average tries per game for the Storm of 0.767, which is ahead of Foxx 0.725, Folau 0.692, Inglis 0.667, Matt King 0.659, Waqa 0.6119 and Tomane 0.6111(Slater is 0.5956).

I know Suli cops some criticism for his defence, some valid, some not so valid, but you can't question his ability to find the stripe. You would be a brave man betting against him scoring in game 100.

Addo-Carr and Hughes out. Addo-Carr to attend birth of his child.

Wonder if Momirovski will get a run on the wing?

Be good to watch him get a game. Must be tough for him waiting.

Seeing whispers around that he's likely got the spot over Seve.

Nope, Seve in. B.Smith to start. Welch to the bench.

Surprised Momirovski isn't playing.

Good game so far. Refereeing was surprisingly good all half until that penalty before half time. If we got 2 points like that, the NSW fans/commentators would be in a rage.

Klein is a cheat. Pure and simple. And if Cam Smith dived like that, there'd be 20 articles up tomorrow about tactics and gamesmanship that's outside the spirit of the game. Watch nothing get mentioned by anyone.

100%

Crawley, Hooper and Kent would already have the articles penned, rage tears and spit covering the PC. Oh but it happened to Smith/Storm? Hahaha, you little clever Cleary.

Welch getting the ball there over the halfback is certainly something.

How good was the double pump and pass from Munster to Lee? Congratulations to Brenko on his first try for the Storm.
