The last piece of Melbourne's title assault puzzle was put in place in the win over the Sharks on Friday night. Brilliant fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen had been struggling for form and confidence since returning from a heavy head knock way back in Magic Round. But Papenhuyzen regained his mojo with a sparkling attacking display against
Cronulla that will have rival finals teams losing sleep over the next four weeks. Papenhuyzen scored three scintillating tries, ran for 204 metres and made 14 tackle busts in a performance that screamed two words - 'I'm back'. His return to form has me convinced that - if they stay injury free through the finals - the Storm will make it back-to-back titles.
