As we use the table as a check sum against the scorers etc. we’ve continued our update of the Standings Table, but I suppose it should now be called the “Performance Table” now that we are in the knock out stages.
So, the performances of the individual teams throughout the series are as follows:
| TEAM | P | W | PD | BP | PTS |
