Fleet-footed Storm fullback Sua Faalogo has helped run the Sydney Roosters ragged to bank a much-needed 18-4 win in Melbourne.
With six players backing up from State of Origin including James Tedesco and Sam Walker in their Saturday night match at AAMI Park, the Roosters couldn't hold back their desperate hosts.
While Faalogo missed out on scoring one of Melbourne's three tries, the 23-year-old clocked up a game-high 301 run metres including three linebreaks, and took over the Storm's goal-kicking after an injury to Nick Meaney.
He also pulled off a try-saving tackle on Cody Ramsey in the second half, continuing to prove himself a shining light in Melbourne's lack-lustre season.
While the home side, who had three players back on deck after Origin I, did enough to secure their fifth win, it wasn't pretty at times.
