Melbourne Storm

After the Rabbitohs forced the match into extra time, Ryan Papenhuyzen cooly slots the winning field goal for the Storm in their 15-14 triumph in Melbourne.

His replacement Lachlan Ilias kicked out on the full 40 metres out from the try line, with Papenhuyzen scoring in the next set of six tackles. But it all unravelled in the second half as South Sydney surged back into the match, scoring three tries in nine minutes to set up a thrilling finale. Ryan Papenhuyzen made sure the Storm celebrated coach Craig Bellamy's 500th NRL match in winning fashion, with a golden-point field goal sealing a dramatic 15-14 victory over South Sydney in Melbourne.

"I think we only completed one set in the last 20 minutes of the second half and for 20 minutes we had a man short so we were under pressure all over the place. We grew in confidence as the game went on but we were pretty clunky in terms of our last pass especially, I thought we bombed four chances but we just have to keep playing through that." I'm not quite sure how we got there in the end with 12 men ... we probably got lucky in the end but sometimes you deserve your luck." He likes to get to know our families, likes to get to know everyone around the place. Harry Grant had his fingerprints all over the opening 40 minutes as the Storm raced to a 14-0 lead. I'm pretty proud of the boys because at 14-0 down with a 50 per cent completion rate in the first half that game could have gone anywhere.
