Show Preview
The Melbourne Storm host the St George Illawarra Dragons in Sunday afternoon NRL. Join The Roar for live scores from 2pm AEST.
It took a while but there’s a stat out there which sort of shows the Storm are not elite at one aspect of the Greatest Game of All. In fact, they’re last in the league. Forced drop-outs. They rank 16th at just five for the season. Now that may be due to the fact that when you’re averaging 6.5 tries per game, you don’t need to get those comically mispronounced reeeeepeat sets but still, it shows they’re not the Perfect Storm that the lazy headline writers love to describe them as being.
That being said they do everything else with ease and it’s their attacking flair that will be tough for the Dragons to stop.
Are the Dragons about to get a reality check? They’ve eked out three wins on the trot by six or less against a clunky Roosters outfit, the woeful Knights and a feisty yet outclassed Wests Tigers side. After this game, they’ve got the Titans, Warriors and Dogs so St George Illawarra can still maintain a spot on the periphery of the top eight but that appears to be their ceiling in 2022.
