Thunder could be leaders heading into the mid-season break, should results go their way this weekend. That'd be quite the achievement considering Solent's stranglehold on the top spot in recent years.
Worthing's Howard Crawford made the latest NBL Team of the Week as his fine form continues, and Zaire Taylor's hopes of closing his final season with silverware continue to grow.
Reading have played well in spurts this season, including a league win against Hemel and an L Lynch victory over Thames Valley, but the Rockets have come unstuck all too often, including last weekend's defeat away to Bradford.
The Berkshire outfit certainly have the talent to cause Thunder problems, but if they can put it all together and challenge come the buzzer remains to be seen.
