Slater's return to the Melbourne Storm after his lengthy injury layoff was a story that captivated fans and pundits alike.
His shoulder reconstruction had kept him out of action for nearly two years, but he was determined to make a triumphant comeback.
In the 2017 Grand Final, Slater proved that he still had the skills and the drive to compete at the highest level.
The try he scored in the first half showcased his trademark speed and agility.
With a precision pass from Cronk, Slater expertly deceived the opposition with a fake pass before darting through their defense.
It was a moment of pure brilliance that left no doubt about his return to form.
The Melbourne Storm website, melbournestorm.com.au, aptly described it as the completion of Slater's comeback, cementing his status as a legend of the game.
