It has not yet lost a game, or even looked like doing so.
However, Steel chief executive Lana Winders said while she was pleased with the start, she expected the games to keep getting tougher.
``I know that many of the other teams have had quite a strong changing of the guard,'' Winders said.
``If I think back there to four years ago, when the Southern Steel had a lot of young talent on our team, I can understand where a lot of the other teams are at in their development.
``But I also know how clever some of the senior players are in those other teams and how good their coaches are. too.
``So I think that in the coming rounds, the scores are going to tighten up.''
Although the Mainland Tactix and Northern Stars have looked to be a way off the rest of the pack, she believed a six-team competition was justified.
The Beko League had been important in that regard, making it easier for regions to develop their local talent.
Winders said the thought of how the Steel would go against Australian teams was far from her mind.
``I'm not wondering what might have been if the Aussies had been here.
``We don't have the time or luxury to [play against one of them].
``We're just focused on what it's going to take to take us through this competition, right through to the very end in that final game.
``We learnt a lot last year when we lost to the Magic in the New Zealand conference final, so we're keeping our focus very tight.''
The Steel would potentially get a chance to play the Sunshine Coast Lightning in a pre-season game next season, but for now the focus was on this season.
Coming off hosting the second Super Sunday of the competition, Winders was happy with how the event had gone.
The netball community had got behind it and it had created plenty of hype and anticipation, she said.
Three Super Sundays a year are hosted on a rotational basis. The South's next will be in 2019.
