Sua Faalogo, a rising star in the NRL, recently experienced a painful learning moment after a bold move on the field.
Melbourne Storm's fullback, Sualauvi Faalogo, showcased his skills in a 38-24 victory over the Warriors in New Zealand, but also faced the consequences of his actions.
Despite an early 14-0 deficit, the Storm rallied back to secure their 16th consecutive win against the Warriors, with the Kiwi team's last triumph dating back to 2015.
This streak spans a whopping 3261 days, marking the longest ongoing losing streak in NRL history.
The Warriors will be kicking themselves for squandering their initial lead, especially with the match taking place in rainy conditions at a packed Go Media Stadium in Auckland.
The Storm's resilience saw them flip the script and claim a 20-14 lead by halftime, leaving their opponents stunned.
Faalogo's 'lair' act served as a tough lesson for the young player, highlighting the importance of smart decision-making in the fast-paced world of professional rugby league.
His performance on the field, while impressive, was overshadowed by this pivotal moment of growth in his career.
