The Melbourne Storm have pulled off a stunning comeback in the second half at Brookvale Oval to defeat the Manly Sea Eagles 21-20 in golden point extra time.
Down by as much as 20 points, the Storm helped the Sea Eagles create history, having giving up a lead of that size for the first time at their home ground.
Storm skipper Cameron Smith was the hero for his side as he landed the winning field goal in the first half of extra time, leaving the vocal Sea Eagles’ fans stunned.
“We knew we were going to be in for a tough night, we’re always have one at Brookie,” Smith said.
“We didn’t think we’d be behind by 20, but we had a chat at half-time and we knew we were still in with a chance if we scored first.
“But we worked hard during the off-season for a game like this and to have two good teams battling it out in round one, it doesn’t get any better than this.”
