Utility Tyran Wishart has left Storm coach Craig Bellamy with a real headache going into next weekend's grand final qualifier against the Panthers.When star halfback Jahrome Hughes pulled out with a calf injury late in the week, Wishart - son of Steelers legend Rod - was fourth in line to replace him.But with Jayden Nikorima and Jonah Pezet also unavailable, Wishart was thrown in the deep end - and the Roosters sniffed a glimmer of hope.Wishart had never played halfback in the top grade but looked like a 100-game veteran, scoring the opening try, running for nearly 100 metres and making 18 tackles on the Roosters' big men who had targeted him in defence.Hughes will naturally come straight back into the team if fit but Wishart is a huge chance for a bench spot given his versatility - he can play anywhere in the backline - and his form against the Roosters.
