While his captain reached a huge milestone, Melbourne Storm winger Suliasi Vunivalu quietly made his own mark in the Storm’s 40‑6 NRL drubbing of Manly.
And his coach Craig Bellamy said the flyer could go on to become one of the game’s best ever.
The 21‑year‑old winger crossed just before halftime, which was his 38th try in two NRL seasons.
That put him level with four other players to achieve the feat in their first two seasons of first grade.
With five rounds to go Vunivalu is set to blast past the mark set by Mark Gasnier and with Bellamy predicting he could become an all‑time great.
The Fijian, who is set to represent his homeland at this year’s World Cup, said he was flattered to be in such elite company and vowed to keep improving.
The Storm will take on the Cowboys at 9.50pm Friday.
