Will Warbrick's incredible magic finals moment was the result of countless hours of physical and mental training.
Having played Australian rules football and rugby sevens, Warbrick had already learned valuable lessons from these different sporting codes.
Additionally, training alongside fellow Storm winger Xavier Coates had further prepared him for this moment.
In the do-or-die semi-final against the Roosters, Warbrick saw an opportunity when Cameron Munster's cross-field kick came his way.
He knew that scoring a try in that moment would secure the win for his team.
With perfect timing and a jump over Roosters winger Junior Pauga, Warbrick stretched his arms out and caught the ball in mid-air.
He then landed and scored the winning try.
After his remarkable feat, Warbrick's phone was inundated with messages.
He credited his success to the intense training he had done with Coates, who is widely regarded as one of the best in the NRL at this particular skill.
Warbrick praised Coates for his attention to detail and the way he approaches the jump, mentioning how he shortens his feet before leaping.
Warbrick's dedication to training and learning from different codes has undoubtedly paid off.
As a rookie, he is already being considered for the NRL's rookie of the year award, and his magic finals moment is a testament to his hard work and commitment.
