Tyran Wishart was a surprise replacement for Storm halfback Jahrome Hughes but the unknown playmaker has gotten off to the best possible start against the Roosters. Follow live.
They were forced to do it with a merry band of misfits after James Tedesco was sin-binned and Joey Manu and Joseph Sua'ali'i were ruled out of the second half with injuries.While down to 12 men in the second half, they had a halfback at fullback, left winger on the right wing, a left centre on the left wing, and two back rowers in the centres. And three of those players were rookies.
After they got back to a full complement, having conceded six points in that 10-minute window, they scored off a lucky ricochet and Billy Smith, that centre playing on the wing, kicked a conversion to tie the scores.Tedesco and Luke Keary then charged down two of Nicho Hynes's field-goal attempts before Sam Walker, who was dropped in April and only recalled for the final weeks of the season, slotted the match-winning field goal.
