Check out the stats that matter from Melbourne Storm's Round 18 clash with the Panthers!

500

Storm fullback Nick Meaney kept the milestones coming, recording his 500th career point in Round 18.

A penalty goal in the opening three minutes saw the 25-year-old sink the final two points needed to fulfil the achievement.

A six-season, three club effort, Meaney's record is a culmination of 10 points while with the Knights, 208 from the Bulldogs, topped off by 284 (and counting) in the purple jersey.

50

Reimis Smith also reached a milestone, clocking in his 50th Storm game in the Friday night match.

Showcasing his experience amongst the Melbourne centres, Smith's five tackle-breaks, a try-assist and a line-break assist was an anniversary effort to stand behind.

26,829

The first NRL game played at Marvel Stadium since Round 7, 2010, the Storm family welcomed the Docklands ground back as 26,829 fans piled into the stands too support their boys away from home.

It is Storm's second-highest home and away crowd in Melbourne.
