The Storm dug deep into their bag of tricks to run down the Rabbitohs and their inspirational skipper Cameron Smith led a posse of four Melbourne men into the NRL Team of the Week for round 17 of the Telstra Premiership.
Smith's starring role in the 22-16 victory got him the fans' vote at hooker, while winger Josh Addo-Carr, five-eighth Cameron Munster and young bull Tino Faasuamaleaui also earned selection.
While Melbourne's comeback was good the Tigers' revival at Lottoland was even more remarkable as they scored three tries in the last 10 minutes to beat Manly.
Hat-trick hero David Nofoaluma and centre Adam Doueihi, who bagged the matchwinner, both made the team of the week while Newcastle superstar Kalyn Ponga got the nod in a hot field of fullback contenders thanks to his electrifying display against Cronulla.
