There will only ever be one Billy Slater - but Ryan Papenhuyzen is quickly carving out his own legacy as an amazing Storm fullback. For all his brilliance, Slater never scored four tries in 11 minutes - a feat Papenhuyzen managed in Good Friday's demolition of the poor old Broncos. And Papenhuyzen isn't far behind Slater in terms of try-scoring after his 45th game for the Purple People. Stats guru David Middleton has informed me that Slater bagged 30 tries in his first 45 games, with Papenhuyzen hot on his heels with 26. The last player to score four straight tries in the NRL, incidentally, was Joel Moon for the Warriors back in 2009.
