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

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.

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.
