RL:Storm speedster eyeing Samoa return for World Cup

Sua Faalogo plays like he's in a hurry but the Melbourne fullback admits his international debut with Samoa came too soon in his fledgling career.

Faalogo has had a break-out season with the Storm since taking over the No.1 jersey made vacant by the retirement of Ryan Papenhuyzen.

The 23-year-old speedster clocked a whopping 325 run metres, including three linebreaks, in Melbourne's 18-4 win over the Sydney Roosters last round.

It was the latest in a line of stellar performances in an otherwise lacklustre season by Melbourne, with Faalogo crediting the specialist coaching of Storm great, and current Queensland State of Origin coach, Billy Slater.

While Slater is a regular at Melbourne training, Faalogo said he messages his boyhood idol after each match seeking feedback.
