Storm coach Craig Bellamy admits he's surprised by how well Billy Slater has come back from two season‑ending shoulder surgeries following the star fullback's two‑try haul in the 34‑22 win over the Dragons on Sunday afternoon.

Having missed out on what would have been a fairytale recall to the Kangaroos side earlier in the week, Slater produced his best game of the season with two tries, a couple of assists and an incredible try‑saving tackle on Tim Lafai that he had no right to make.

This week the Storm will take on the Titans at 7.30pm Saturday.
