Amid the chaos and excitement of Xavier Coates' unbelievable try, it was easy to overlook the stellar performance of Ryan Papenhuyzen for the Melbourne Storm.
In a game filled with heart-stopping moments and last-minute heroics, Papenhuyzen's return to form was a sight to behold.
After a tough period dealing with injuries and setbacks, Papenhuyzen's display on Saturday night was nothing short of brilliant.
Like a seasoned pro, the Storm fullback breezed through the Warriors' defence, leaving a trail of broken tackles and awe-inspired fans in his wake.
With two tries, two line break assists, and an impressive 162 metres gained, Papenhuyzen's impact on the game was undeniable.
Guided by NRL legend Billy Slater, the young star proved that he is back to his best and ready to take on whatever challenges come his way.
While Coates may have stolen the spotlight with his miraculous try, Papenhuyzen's performance was a reminder of the talent and determination that runs deep in the world of Rugby League.
As the Storm continue to dominate the competition, Papenhuyzen's resurgence is a testament to the never-say-die attitude that defines the sport.
