Thanks Matt. Great to have the milestone thread back.

That tries at AMMI stat would look very different if it was tries at Home (i.e. tries scored at Melbourne Storm's home ground).
Both Slater and Cronk played more than half their careers out of the Graveyard, and MG played all but a year there.

What I found most interesting here was how many of their tries Addo-Carr and Vunivalu got at away grounds. They're 3rd and 5th respectively on our all time try scoring list and they each got comfortably over half of their tries away from Melbourne/sunshine coast. Everyone else on this list is either majority at home or more or less at parity.

[Scooter]

Nick Meaney is now 6th on goal scorers list passing Nicho Hynes (62 goals) and as noted by Mattpoet Craig Smith (61 goals).

[Scooter]

Cameron Munster has passed Marcus Bai 282 points into 11th on Storm's points scorers list.
