With 2021 entering the final week of it's first month, the wheat has started to become separated from the chaff.

Whether your side is unbeaten or unbackable, each of the NRL's 16 teams still have quandaries to ponder as the road to September begins to narrow.

Melbourne Storm

Are we witnessing the empire's first cracks?

If there is one thing I have learnt across my years following Rugby League, it is that claiming the competition's contemporary king as dead requires concrete proof.

Despite the fact that Melbourne have failed to claim a win across the past fortnight, they have been pitted against some of the competition's strongest teams and they haven't been blown away either.

As mentioned last week, if Clint Gutherson has decided to take a night off from defending his line, the Storm would have held a 2-0 record. If Viliame Kikau was a smaller man, then they would sit atop the comp undefeated.

With a clash against Brisbane this weekend and another against the Bulldogs the following week, it would be a brave or foolish punter that backs their losing streak to extend beyond two.
