A NSW Blues hopeful has headlined a thrilling Saturday of NRL SuperCoach action. Catch up on all the scores and see our full list of SuperCoach winners and losers.
SuperCoach
Don't miss out on the headlines from SuperCoach. Followed categories will be added to My News.
Newcastle Knights centre Bradman Best was monstrous as he led his side to victory and led all SuperCoach scoring on Saturday with a whopping 124 points.
Meanwhile all eyes will be on Nicho Hynes through the week as he fights to get over a niggling calf issue.
See who the top performers were from Saturday in our SuperCoach Winners and Losers:
SUPERCOACH WINNERS
Bradman Best (CTW) – 124 pts: The Newcastle centre was monstrous as he made the Tigers defence look second rate. Best had four line breaks, 10 tackle breaks and a try assist as well as a four pointer of his own. The only issue, he might have just played himself into a Blues jersey.
Isaiah Papalii (2RF) – 115 pts: It is not every weekend that a backrower scores a double, but a move into the middle of the field and a coach demanding more ball for him is good signs for Papalii. He finished with 50 points in base stats in a great performance.
Tyran Wishart (5/8 / HFB) – 96 pts: Wishart didn’t miss a beat coming into the No.7 jersey in Jahrome Hughes’ absence. The wily utility had a hand in everything the Storm did including a match-tying try with 10 minutes to play. He was unlucky not to crack 100 but owners will be very happy with his output.
Eli Katoa (2RF) – 86 pts: The prolific backrower scored a try in another strong showing, finishing almost 15 points ahead of his 5-round average (72.4). Katoa has proven to be one of SuperCoach’s top second row forward this season and is rewarding the 9 per cent of teams that already have him.
Cam McInnes (2RF) – 83 pts: Cronulla’s relentless warrior McInnes top-scored for the Sharks with 83 points – built mainly off 50 tackles without a miss and 11 strong carries in an 80-minute performance. If he’s not selected for State of Origin – which wouldn’t surprise many – then he’d be a great pick-up for most teams.
David Armstrong (FLB) – 63 pts: The Knights rookie got the memo loud and clear after more than 30,000 SuperCoaches brought him in this week. His 63 points, which included a try and try assist, has set Armstrong up for several weeks of price rises.
Greg Marzhew (CTW) – 85 pts: A tiny group of SuperCoaches saw Big Greg at $501,000 this week and realised it was too good to pass up. They are the lucky ones as we won’t see him that low again this season. Marzhew blew past his BE and has shown all the upside that has made him a must-have winger in the past.
Jayden Sullivan (5/8/HFB) – 81 pts: With Aiden Sezer sidelined for several weeks, there is money to be made on Sullivan. At a touch over $300k, Sullivan will face a negative break even for next week’s clash with the Dolphins. He faces the questionable Cowboys after that. Worth a think.
Zac Lomax (CTW) – 77 pts: It was a fairy stock-standard score for the Dragons’ goalkicking winger, but considering the difficult conditions Lomax owners should be happy with his game-high effort.
Davvy Moale (FRF) – 51 pts: Not a huge tally from the barnstorming Bunny but considering his $308,800 price tag anyone using the big bopper as forward depth will be pleased with a small price rise.
Jack Bird (CTW/2RF) – 55 pts: Bird crossed for a first-half try to easily eclipse his projected score before the break and give his owners a bit of relief. The hard-running centre got plenty of ball and was a solid threat on the left edge.
Oregon Kaufusi (FRF) – 76 pts: Kaufusi crashed over for a try to reward the 5,175 teams that own the Sharks prop. He looks like a big threat close to the line and was a handful for the Melbourne defence.
SUPERCOACH LOSERS
Sione Katoa (CTW) – 11 pts: For a winger on the NRL’s first-placed team, barely breaking into double digits was a massive disappointment. Katoa was starved of attacking ball with only 11 runs for 67 metres to go with his two errors and one missed tackle.
Will Warbrick (CTW) – 23 pts: It’s not quite as bad as 11, but you’d hope for a lot more from a top four winger. Warbrick was once again an aerial threat on the right flank but that can be volatile for SuperCoach as it leads to rocks or diamonds moments where you could either score a try or make an error.
Sua Fa’alogo (CTW/FLB) – 32 pts: Many people expected more from Ryan Papenhuyzen’s replacement, but it wasn’t for want of trying. Fa’alogo was electric and I wouldn’t sell him just yet, he just needs to ice more moments and he will be closer to 100 against weaker opposition.
Kai Pearce-Paul (2RF) – 36 pts: A pre-game benching for Dylan Lucas had plenty of owners concerned and for good reason. The Englishman came on in the second half and showed a few good signs with ball in hand, but at less than 80 minutes, he is not SC relevant. The Round 13 bye coverage is his only saving grace.
Justin Olam (CTW) – 32 pts: Plenty got on the Tigers centre a few weeks ago as it appeared he was the number one weapon for the side. That game plan has clearly gone out the window at Wests, with Olam barely touching the ball unless he is coming out of his own end.
Stefano Utoikamanu (FRF) – 30 pts: The front rower should have been in his element in the wet weather, but he really struggled to make an impact on the game. He was monstered by the Knights front rowers and seemed to keep the offload locked away.
Apisai Koriasau (HOK) – 44 pts: He is owned by almost a quarter of all SuperCoaches, but Api did not fire a shot in Tamworth. The Tigers hooker didn’t score a single attacking point, with his numbers instead coming through a mountainous 40 tackles in the middle.
Daniel Saifiti (FRF) – 26 pts: There are more than 1500 players who have Daniel Saifiti, but even the most ardent of Knights supporters needs to get off the train. His work on the field does not translate to decent SuperCoach scoring, and a brain fade late in the game will see him spending a few weeks on the sidelines after a blatant shoulder charge.
Mikaele Ravalawa (CTW) – 25 pts: After scoring 107 in round 9 the Dragons winger only managed a lowly quarter-century. A bombed try in the first half could have swung the momentum back in Ravalawa’s favour but unfortunately it wasn’t to be.
Jack Wighton (CTW) – 23 pts: Wighton has struggled to make much impact this season when it comes to SuperCoach beside one round 4 outlier when he tonned up. Without trscoring sensation Alex Johnston outside him it looks like it will be more low scores for the former Raider.
Raymond Faitala-Mariner (2RF) – 25 pts: Faitala-Mariner has failed to recapture his incredible round 1 showing, averaging just 40.4 points for the last five rounds. The 6241 SuperCoaches that still have the Dragons backrower should probably start looking at other options.
FULL TIME: SHARKS ARE THE REAL DEAL
Cronulla fans, it’s time to start getting excited.
You’ve got a team of true premiership contenders on your hands.
The Sharks had to dig deep to beat the Storm in Melbourne, and they managed it without perhaps their most important player Nicho Hynes.
Daniel Atkinson showed the control of a veteran in just his fifth game of NRL, steering the side around and kicking the go-ahead field goal with five minutes to play.
For the hosts, Tyran Wishart really stood up and was one of the best on ground to finish with a game-high 96 SuperCoach points.
Cronulla’s relentless warrior Cam McInnes top-scored for the Sharks with 83 points – built mainly off 50 tackles without a miss and 11 strong carries in an 80-minute performance.
74TH MIN: STORM THROW IT AWAY
Daniel Atkinson put the Sharks a point ahead with a successful field goal before the unthinkable happened.
A failed short kick-off ended up in Ronaldo Mulitalo’s hands and after a weaving run up the middle he found Siosifa Talakai with an offload.
Talakai raced away to score a try, making it back-to-back points for Cronulla without taking a tackle.
70TH MIN: CAN SHARKS WEATHER STORM? NO
Just as I was about to question Cronulla’s resolve for the final 10 minutes, Melbourne halfback Tyran Wishart sliced through the defence to get his side back in the contest, answering my question before it could be typed.
A successful Nick Meaney conversion has the score locked at 18-18 as we enter next-try-wins territory.
The Sharks had been able to keep Melbourne out since taking a lead early in the first half despite an onslaught of pressure.
A Storm try almost felt inevitable.
55TH MIN: SHARKS TAKE FIRST LEAD
Cronulla have hit the lead for the first time of the night, this time through NSW Blues hopeful Jesse Ramien.
Ramien was too strong for the Storm, taking advantage of an overlap to crash over.
The competition leaders could be in line to make a massive statement to the rest of the NRL.
HALFTIME: GRANT SIN BIN ALLOWS CRONULLA EQUALISER
Somehow the Sharks have gone into the break at 12-12 after Harry Grant was sin binned for making innocuous looking contact with Sharks five-eighth Daniel Atkinson.
The Storm were rattled by the call and Oregon Kaufusi charged under the posts and got the ball down despite Melbourne’s best efforts to dislodge the ball.
Cronulla will also have about six minutes with the man advantage to start the second half.
Kaufusi is now up to a team-high 55 points, while Eli Katoa leads all players with 62.
35TH MIN: MUNSTER MAKES SHARKS PAY
Cameron Munster stamped his authority on the game with a perfect flat cut-out ball to put his centre Reimis Smith over the line.
Munster has had a relatively small involvement in the match so far but that try assist could be a sign he is about to heat up and deliver.
Tom Hazelton passed his HIA and returned to the field.
25TH MIN: SHARKS BITE BACK
Sharks forward Taku Hau Tapuha ($209,800) has his first career NRL try after scoring from a close-range bash play.
Melbourne appeared to be in control of the contest but Cronulla’s big man was too strong to hold out.
The score is locked at 6-all and the Sharks have momentum behind them.
18TH MIN: KATOA CHARGES THROUGH
Just minutes after taking the lead the Storm are in again, this time through powerful backrower Eli Katoa.
Katoa dragged three defenders over the line and slammed the ball down to extend his side to a 6-0 lead.
In concerning news for the Sharks, front rower Tom Hazelton left the field for a HIA.
15TH MIN: MELBOURNE TAKE EARLY LEAD
Both teams traded blows as they engaged in a battle to draw first blood but it was Melbourne who finally broke the deadlock with a Nick meaney penalty goal.
The game is still firmly in the balance in a strangely dark AAMI Park in Melbourne.
I don’t know what’s going on with the stadium’s lighting but one thing I do know is that Storm coach Craig Bellamy must find a place for fullback Sua Fa’alogo in his matchday 17 when Ryan Papenhuyzen returns from injury.
The lightning-fast Samoan is made of pure excitement and he needs to be playing NRL week in week out.
KICK OFF: SHARKS FACE TOUGHEST TEST OF SEASON
Are Cronulla true premiership contenders?
By the end of the night we’ll have another piece of the puzzle to answer that question.
They’re on top of the ladder entering round 10 so they must be doing something alright, but taking on the Storm in Melbourne is no easy feat.
They’re also without key player Nicho Hynes, while the Storm are without New Zealand Kiwis halfback Jahrome Hughes.
Buckle in for some fireworks, this game should be a blockbuster.
FULL TIME: DRAGONS WIN 28-14
Well, the game turned into a bit of a snore fest after a penalty for back-chat cost the Rabbitohs and Zac Lomax pushed his side’s lead out to 12 points.
Latrell Mitchell showed glimpses of his ability but also showed way too little effort at times. Is it his fitness? His motivation? Whatever the issue, Souths need to find answers fast.
Mitchell went the last 20 minutes without improving his score until a try in the dying minutes got him up to a respectable 71.
Zac Lomax chipped away at the Rabbitohs for the full 80 minutes to finish with a game-high 77 SuperCoach points.
It was pretty dour conditions in Kogarah with the rain pelting down so players can be excused for their low scores across the board.
75th MIN: DE BELIN PUNISHES MICTHELL BLUNDER
Latrell Mitchell has had a polarising game. At his best he’s the Bunnies’ most dangerous attacking threat but he just cost his team badly with a sloppy error at the back.
The Souths fullback failed to knock a ball dead or ground it and Jack de Belin only had to fall on the ball to score.
That’s game over for the Rabbitohs.
60TH MIN: HAS SU’A SEALED IT?
The Dragons have once again kicked out beyond a converted try with Queensland Maroons hopeful Jaydn Su’A pouncing on a Kyle Flanagan grubber to extend the lead to 20-10.
The Rabbitohs haven’t shown much since scoring a try 15 minutes ago and it doesn’t look like they’ve got the stamina to keep in this arm wrestle.
Su’A now leads SuperCoach scoring with 60, closely followed by Souths fullback Latrell Mitchell on 57.
48TH MIN: BUNNIES BACK AFTER SPECTACULAR TRY
Rabbitohs winger Izaac Thompson did his best superman impression to dive over in the left corner and get his team back into the contest.
That was a lot better from South Sydney, making the most of a set restart and actually using the ball to score down the edge, but Latrell Mitchell’s conversion attempt narrowly missed to keep the score at 14-10.
Lomax had kicked the Dragons out to a 14-6 lead early in the half following an escort penalty.
HALFTIME: DRAGONS ESCAPE HALF THANKS TO BAFFLING BUNKER CALL
Dragons fans breathed a massive sigh of relief after a baffling Bunker call prevented the Rabbitohs taking a lead into the sheds following some Cody Walker magic.
Instead, St George marched up the field in the final minute and gave Zac Lomax the opportunity to blast a two-point field goal as time elapsed.
The Dragons could have taken an even bigger lead into the break if not for a bombed try from Mikaele Ravalawa about five minutes from the hooter.
Ben Hunt was the first player to crack 50 SuperCoach points and he leads all players at the break despite dropping back down to 49.
The Bunnies’ best scorer was FRF Davvy Moale with 29 points, and anyone owning South Sydney stars will be looking for a lot more from them in the second half.
After fluctuations, Jack Bird got his nose ahead as the half’s top scorer while Keaon Koloamatangi’s 32 makes him the Bunnies’ best.
31ST MIN: BIRD SWOOPS IN TO PUT RED V AHEAD
Just minutes after South Sydney levelled the score, the Dragons went straight back ahead via Jack Bird.
Bird’s burrowing effort from close range definitely brought the Bunnies’ goal line defence into question and they’ll need to be better.
However a Dragons knock on just after the restart had the Rabbitohs right back on attack.
25TH MIN: RABBITS CAPITALISE ON DRAGONS ERROR
St George decided not to challenge a knock on call – much to the chagrin of Zac Lomax – and the Rabbitohs used their attacking set to hit back with a try.
Cody Walker took control on the last tackle and grubbered a perfectly weighted kick into the in-goal for returning fullback Latrell Mitchell.
After missing a month of action, Mitchell has made his presence felt as South Sydney hunts a rare victory.
Just as Lomax did with the first try, Mitchell made his four-pointer worth six with a swinging conversion from a difficult angle.
Ladies and gentlemen, he’s back.
8TH MIN: LOMAX LIGHTS UP KOGARAH
The Dragons have opened the scoring through popular winger Zac Lomax.
Lomax is St George’s most selected active player and he has got the 19,722 SuperCoaches who own him jumping around celebrating his electric start.
He kicked one of his two conversion attempts last week and got his night off to a great start tonight with a fantastic kick from the sideline to put his side six ahead.
KICK OFF: CAN BUNNIES BOUNCE OFF BOTTOM OF LADDER?
South Sydney can leapfrog the Titans into 16th place with what would be their second win of the season, but nothing the Bunnies have served up so far would suggest they’re capable of doing it.
The Rabbitohs have conceded more points than any other team and have scored the fewest in the competition. The return of Latrell Mitchell ($707,400) will be welcome relief for caretaker coach Ben Hornby and the 2,635 SuperCoaches that own him.
For the Red V, SuperCoaches will be looking for more output from popular options Zac Lomax ($750,100) and Ben Hunt ($650,400) who both scored below average scores in round 9.
In concerning news for the late game, Nicho Hynes is reportedly out of Cronulla’s game against the Melbourne Storm with a calf injury.
DRAGONS v RABBITOHS FINAL TEAMS
The Dragons have made a late change to their starting side with Jack de Belin coming into the starting side at lock forward with Raymond Faitala-Mariner dropping back to the bench.
Dual-position POD Tom Eisenhuth has shifted onto an edge in the move, and will partner Queensland Origin hopeful Jaydn Su’A in the backrow.
The Rabbitohs will take the field as per program but it is a side that is nearly unrecognisable despite the big return of Latrell Mitchell from suspension.
Cody Walker will captain the side in his 200th NRL match in the absence of Cameron Murray.
Mitchell, Walker and Damien Cook will be joined in the spine by unheralded Dion Teaupa, while Siliva Havili will start at lock in place of Murray.
The bench includes young guns Peter Mamouzelos and Tallis Duncan as well as debutant Matthew French.
TIGERS v KNIGHTS FULL-TIME: ARMSTRONG REWARDS OWNERS WHO TOOK PUNT
It was far from the biggest gamble of the season, but Knights livewire rookie David Armstrong has reward the more than 30,000 SuperCoaches that took the punt this week.
He had a negative break-even and was due for a cash boost regardless, but Armstrong turned it on with a try and try assist in the Knights 20-14 win over the Tigers.
Despite missing the final 10 minutes with a HIA, Armstrong scored a more-than-handy 62 points and set himself up for several weeks of price rises off the back of a strong performance.
With Kalyn Ponga still out indefinitely, along with other star fullbacks Ryan Papenhuyzen and Tom Trbojevic, Armstrong has showed enough upside that he could likely be a hold for most through the Origin period.
Knights centre Bradman Best was clearly the man of the moment though, racking up a stats line that would have been welcomed in an NBA box score to finish with 124 points.
Isaiah Papali’i has also give SuperCoaches plenty of food for thought after his shift to the middle of the field included two tries and 50 points in base stats in a 115 point haul.
The Knights go 105m ðŸ‘

65TH MIN: BEST FOR THE KNIGHTS, IS IT BEST FOR BLUES?
On a weekend where Blues coach Michael Macguire has been consigned to losing two of his best players to injury, Bradman Best has made sure he is front and centre to replace Tom Trbojevic on the Origin stage.
The Blues will be determined to find someone to partner incumbent Stephen Crichton, and Best could be the man of the moment after a dominant performance against the Tigers.
Best has now added a try to his haul for the afternoon which includes four line breaks, 10 tackle breaks, two offloads and a try assist.
The Knights weapon has overtaken Isaiah Papali’i as the top scorer this afternoon with 115 points.
50TH MIN: TIGERS AFTERNOON GOES FROM BAD TO WORSE
The Tigers are down to a two-man bench for the rest of the match after John bateman failed to return to the field from the halftime break.
Bateman’s afternoon is over, with the Tigers backrower understood to have sustained a pectoral injury late. He joins Starford Toa (hamstring) in the casualty ward.
The Knights, who have not been immune to the injury bug with five-eighth Tyson Gamble (foot) ruled out for the game, wasted little time in the second half to capitalise on the wounded Tigers.
The man of the moment David Armstrong blazed his way across the stripe minutes after the break to extend the lead.
Tigers have managed to hit back following a long-range break from Jahream Bula, with bulldozing forward Isaiah Papali’i bashing his way across the line for a second try.
HALF TIME: GAGAI WINDING BACK CLOCK FOR KNIGHTS
What a way to finish the first half!
Fresh off making the call to spurn the Roosters and stay with the Knights, Dane Gagai has shown just why the Steel City loves him so.
The experienced centre has put the Knights ahead on the scoreboard for the first time after setting up a try for winger Enari Tuala in the shadows of halftime.
The Tigers have done well to stay in the grind despite losing Bula for 10 minutes during the first half, but the toll it has taken on the side could be more noticeable in the second half.
Rookie fullback David Armstrong has shown several glimpses of his talent, but owners will be hoping he gets more ball in has hands.
Isaiah Papali’i is the far and away leader in SuperCoach with 60 points in the first half, while Greg Marzhew remains the Knights’ best on 39 points.
In other news, my prospects as a meteorologist have plummeted as the sun emerged late in the first half at Scully Park. The ground still seems greasy, but the game looks set to open right up.
30TH MIN: ARMSTRONG GOES BANG AFTER BULA MADNESS
The price rise is on after David Armstrong showed an early glimpse of his attacking potential laying on a slick try for Greg Marzhew.
The flashy fullback, who appears to have a mortgage on the Knights No. 1 jersey with Kalyn Ponga facing an extended stint on the sidelines, made the most of an extra man advantage with his sharp footwork.
The Tigers are down a man in the defensive line after fullback Jahream Bula was sent to the sin bin for a clear professional foul.
Marzhew (41) and Armstrong (36) lead the live scores for the Knights, while Isaiah Papali’i is on top for the match with 52 points following his early try.
20TH MIN: HAMSTRING HAVOC CONTINUES AT SCULLY PARK
It is bad weekend to be a hamstring apparently.
Tigers might have moved ahead on the scoreboard, thanks to a try to newly-minted lock forward Isaiah Papali’i, but there is grave concerns for Tigers centre Starford Toa.
Toa will not return for the afternoon, with John Bateman shifting out to right centre, after he limped off the field clutching at a hamstring.
Starford To'a has seemingly done a hamstring inches away from opening the scoring in Tamworth 😞

🔢 MATCH CENTRE https://t.co/1TDbGigfrQpic.twitter.com/n9UwFMaMrP
The centre was odds on to score a try as he led the chase of a Jayden Sullivan grubber, before he pulled up over the tryline clutching at his leg.
Sullivan didn’t have to wait long to get his try assist, after he stepped back through a staggered Knights defence and found Papali’i with a slick ball.
Papali’i could be an interesting option next weekend after moving into the middle of the field this week with Benji Marshall declaring he wants to see more involvement from the former Eel.
He has been a SuperCoach stud in the past, and could be undervalued at a tick over $500,000.
KICK OFF: WEATHER THREATENS TO RAIN ON CHEAPIE’S PARADE
In bad news for owners chasing a quick dollar, and there are plenty of them, it is raining cats and dogs in Tamworth.
Plenty of people have looked to Knights cheapie for a big price rise, with more than 22,000 picking up David Armstrong this week, but it could be all in vain.
We have seen some attacking football in the wet this weekend, think the Broncos efforts against the Eels on Friday, but it will be sure to put a dampener on his scoring ability.
The forwards could be the key to big scores in this first game with Stefano Utoikamanu and Isaiah Papali’i going head to head with the Saifiti brothers in the middle of the field.
A returning Api Koroisau could also play some havoc in and around the ruck as the forwards tire.
There is suggestions the rain could clear by halftime, but at this stage, it is here to stay.
LATE MAIL: POPULAR ENGLISHMAN BENCHED, API SURVIVES CUT
The third-most popular backrower in SuperCoach has had his wings clipped with Knights coach Adam O’Brien pulling a late switch as Englishman Kai Pearce-Paul has been moved to the bench.
The backrower has been one of the revelations of the season, and is owned by almost a third of all SuperCoaches, who will all be sweating bullets as the Knights opt to push Dylan Lucas to the starting side.
With NSW Origin backrower Tyson Frizell making his return from injury against the Tigers in Tamworth it will be interesting to see when O’Brien chooses to inject KPP on the clash and how many minutes he finishes with.
In good news for more than 38,000 Api Koroisau owners, the Tigers hooker has managed to shake off an injury cloud this week and will take his place in the starting side.
The Tigers do have Jake Simpkin as cover on the bench though, so Api’s minutes may still be reduced after he was rested last week.
All eyes remain on Knights rookie fullback David Armstrong, who is in line for a sizeable price rise this week and could set himself up as classy cover through the Origin period.
Armstrong is projected to bank some considerable cash if he can show the same form as he did on debut, and is among a list of big money movers on Super Saturday.
The rain is coming down pretty heavily out in Tamworth, the home of Peter Mulholland Cup challengers Farrer MAHS, which could have a big impact on Armstrong’s scoring ability.
EARLIER
The majority of eyes will be on Newcastle’s rookie fullback David Armstrong ($204,300) who added almost 15,000 new owners this week alone.
Armstrong has a BE of -47 so is assured of a big price rise just for running onto the field. Kept quiet last week by the Warriors, SuperCoaches will be hoping the livewire bounces back.
At the Tigers the focus is on Api Koroisau ($551,600) who has shed thousands of owners following a form slump and then injury lay-off. Koroisau has passed all fitness tests and is expected to play, with a NSW jumper on the line those who held him will be hoping for a big one.
Koroisau was in some doubt for the game after being rested last week but he has survived the cut after teams were finalised an hour prior to kick-off.
The second game of the day featuring the Dragons and the Rabbitohs is, with the notable exception of Zac Lomax ($750,100), a SuperCoach graveyard.
The player of interest, and one to buy if you are exceptionally brave, is Latrell Mitchell $707,400). Back following a lengthy suspension, Mitchell boasts an average of 73.6PPG and has just one score below 69 from his five outings this season.
The final game of the round should be a much higher calibre event with the table topping Sharks heading down to Melbourne to tackle the second-placed Storm.
Cronulla playmaker Nicho Hynes ($1,052,500) has rocketed through the $1 million barrier and boasts a 3RA of 133 and 5RA of 115. Easily the most captained player of the round, Hynes comes with some risk though – his career average against the Storm is a measly 39PPG.
