Stats that Matter: Round 10 v Dragons

Nicho Hynes expected to play five-eighth this week, but when he was thrown into his preferred position to cover an injured Ryan Papenhuyzen early in the first half he proved his value as a fullback.

He finished the match with 225 run metres, two line breaks, four line break assists and two try assists.

Josh Addo-Carr collected his third hat-trick in two weeks to follow his six-try haul in round 9.

Jahrome Hughes is mounting a case for most dangerous half in the comp - he had two line break assists, one try assist and grabbed a try of his own.

Tyson Smoothy was excellent at hooker, with the most tackles for Storm (34) and three conversions from five attempts.
