Dogs fans have every right to be happy about a big win. But it's not all that impressive considering the opposition. They are missing their 4 most important players, and the players where all their salary cap has been spent to build a team that can win games.
Throw in 1. Billy Slater, 6. Gareth Widdop, 7. Cooper Cronk and 9. Cameron Smith and the game is very different. The second Cameron Smith is missing, the Storm aren't close to their best. Take out those other 3 and they're pretty much beatable by any team in the NRL. Because the remaining squad isn't a league above the other teams in the NRL like those guys.
