Yes but if you can stop Melbourne from being a front foot team they don't know how to react. Storm do well in tit for tat games or games where the opposition gives them too much leeway. I think only 2 teams are capable of getting Storm into the gutter and into a scrap and one of those teams Penrith won't be near the 8 yet alone 4.
History shows to win the premiership you need to finish top 4. Since the formation of the top 8 in 1995 (top 10 in 1998) only one side has ever won the premiership from below 4th being Terry Lamb's Bulldogs in 1995 and that season all bar one finals game was played in Sydney so suited the Sydney clubs who didn't have to travel. This year there will be finals in weeks 2 and 3 in Brisbane and Melbourne meaning teams in the lower half will be traveling by default. Right now Canberra sit in 4th but they won't stay there.

Is he any good? Will he likely make the 17 on a regular basis?
Su'a joins Dolphins in Knights player swap with Teague
The Dolphins and Newcastle have agreed on a player swap that allows Mason Teague and Sebastian Su'a to make early-season transfers.aapnews.aap.com.au
I've never seen him play but he's a young prop and it's a position Dolphins need to make long term investment in

He hasn't even been picked for reserve grade in Newcastle this year. He has played in the comp below it. He might get a game or two if injury occurs.

been learning his craft has had one 1st grade game , and has impressed in all his lower grade games hes not even 22 hes 6'5 he well thought of in junior ranks he go well with all 3 coaches knowing what hes capable of dont need big names he be fine learning the ropes of our older heads we haven't got to many props in our system that are nrl ready
I think the Sua Teague swap is good for Dolphins, Sua and Teague.
Dolphins have too many locks as we've seen in the other discussion thread someone rightly said Plath, Gilbert and Stone in the same 17 is overkill.
Dolphins have a massive shortage on props and have had to manufacture Kaufusi and Bromwich at the end of their careers and with props if you have too many sign two more.
