The 2015 Qualifying Final between Melbourne Storm and the Roosters was a highly memorable match in their history of intense finals clashes.
As the game hung in the balance with Storm leading by a narrow margin of 14-12, it was an unexpected hero who emerged as the unlikely match winner.
Tim Glasby, a prop, sealed the victory for Storm with a rare try, putting them ahead with only 10 minutes left in the contest.
The decisive moment occurred when Matt Duffie and Daniel Tupou, towering players, leapt into the air to catch a cross-field kick from Cooper Cronk.
However, the ball slipped out of their grasp and fell into the path of Glasby, who swiftly scooped it up and dived over the try line.
This was only Glasby's second try of the season, making it all the more remarkable.
This try proved to be crucial, as the Roosters managed to regain possession from the subsequent short kick off and scored within two minutes.
Nevertheless, Storm managed to hold on and secure the victory by a mere two-point margin.
This historic moment showcases the resilience and determination of the Melbourne Storm squad, inspiring the current players as they embark on their quest for ultimate glory in the 2023 season.
