In Round 1, numerous records have been shattered, highlighting the performances of the Melbourne Storm, Brisbane Broncos, and various scoring statistics.
While the Melbourne Storm celebrated a strong start, the defending champions faced setbacks that raised eyebrows across the league.
This week's edition of Number Up focuses on significant statistics from the matches.
The Storm's impressive 52-4 victory against the Eels marked their 23rd consecutive win in season openers under head coach Craig Bellamy.
Since their last loss in a season opener back in 2004 to the Knights, the Storm has been unstoppable, with that particular defeat occurring in Round 2 due to a bye in the first round.
To trace a Round 1 loss for the Melbourne Storm, one would need to go back to 2001.
Throughout these years, the Storm has triumphed over 13 different teams, with the Dragons (4), Eels (3), and Sea Eagles (3) being the most frequent competitors they have defeated.
