The Storm can seemingly find class players at will and they've done it again with 20-year-old utility back Sualauvi Faalogo.Only the fifth genuine Melbourne junior to play for the Storm, Faalogo produced footwork reminiscent of a young Benji Marshall as he scampered over for two tries in the upset win over the Broncos on Thursday night.Faalogo has pace to burn - he showed that when he scooted 90 metres in a first grade trial against the Roosters before the season.He's been slowly and patiently groomed for big things by the Storm, scoring 13 tries from his 18 appearances for the Sunshine Coast Falcons this season.Ryan Papenhuyzen looked sharp in his return to arms and the Storm also have a capable back-up in Nick Meaney, but Faalogo looks destined to be the club's long-term fullback and he could develop into one of the game's genuine excitement machines.
