The statistics say it all.
Six wins from six games, scoring 102 points for and letting in just 56 against with a plus 46 scoring differential.
They aren't the only telling stats either.

You only have to look at the Bottlemart Man Of The Match Table.
Three of the top four players are CFL stars. Skipper Brenton Cochrane has nine points, Sam Taylor seven and young gun Brayden Reid five.
Then Moree's Ben Williams and Dungowan Cowboy Clay Frendin are in the next bunch of six players on three points apiece!
That's five of the top 10.
As Richie Benaud, the doyen of cricketing commentators would have said: "Simply marrrrvellous that."
What has been simply marvellous has been the freedom and attacking brilliance of the CFL side.
They have been a pleasure to watch.
Just ask team sponsor Darren Carey, the general manager of Carey's Freight Lines.
"It's been great," Darren Carey said.
"Brenton has put together a very good side.
"I know when we first got together (captaincy selections) we were hoping we might get Blanchie (Scott Blanch) as our captain because we knew him and his family. When we didn't he told me, don't worry. You've got the best player in 9's around."
Darren laughs at how true he was after watching Brenton Cochrane ramrod the CFL side so well.
"He takes control when he wants to," Darren added of his side's skipper.
The style of football has also impressed.
Not just the CFL side either.
"I have been surprised by the quality of the football (overall)," he said.
"I thought the lack of fitness and lack of football might be detrimental but it's been really good."
So good his employees have all come on board and bought CFL 9's jumpers and polo shirts.
They will be there en-masse on Saturday too for the Finals night.
Tickets for the WEG 9's Finals can only be bought through Wests at reception or online.
