Storm fights back

THE Melbourne Storm have produced a stunning comeback to down the Roosters 27-25 in a golden point epic at Suncorp Stadium on Thursday night.

If there is to be a better game of NRL football this year then it will need to be one of the games of the century.

You couldn’t have scripted the final minute of regular time. With the scores locked at 24-all, Rooster Luke Keary landed a field goal from 35 metres out with 40-odd seconds to go.

The Storm got the ball back and Ryan Papenhuyzen levelled it up with a cool as a cucumber shot of his own from the same distance.

Extra-time went the Storm’s way and when Dale Finucane charged inside the Tricolours’ 20 metres, Roosters hooker Jake Friend pushed him over as he went to play the ball.
