'Seen it all': Epic Phillip Sami chasedown stuns Titans fans

Gold Coast Titans fans have endured yet another torrid season, and could have been forgiven for having low expectations heading into a final-round clash with the Storm in Melbourne.

But an unexpected highlight from Phillip Sami helped end their season on a high note, despite going down 24-8.

In the dying minutes, Melbourne’s Josh Addo-Carr looked to have a certain try wrapped up, intercepting a Titans kick and storming nearly the full length of the field.

But it was Sami who beat Addo-Carr for pace, managing to chase the flighty star down and bring him to ground just before the line in one of the most impressive try-saves of the season.

Having not had much to cheer about during the rest of the season, fans were quick to dole out a bit of praise for the effort.

Storm overcome early struggles against Titans

Expected to cruise to a big victory over the last-placed Titans, the competition leaders trailed 8-6 at halftime on Sunday afternoon after dishing up their worst half of football for the season.

After falling to Canberra last round, Storm coach Bellamy blasted their poor completion rate, but didn't get the response he was after.

In the first half, the Storm only completed 11 of 19 sets - at 59 per cent - and were at the wrong end of an 8-3 penalty count, with centre Curtis Scott also put on report for a dangerous tackle.

Frustrated five-eighth Cameron Munster was the main offender, penalised twice for dissent as well as making three costly errors.

Munster was frank in his assessment of his game when interviewed as he walked off for halftime: "I don't want to swear on national television but that's absolute s**t from me," he said.

No doubt Bellamy agreed.

Whatever the coach had to say at halftime, it worked. Melbourne second-rower Kenny Bromwich offloaded to fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen for a try three minutes into the second term.

The lead blew out to 10 points when Kenny's brother Jesse put Dale Finucane across, with the Storm back in control.

The Titans' first-half try was a special, with winger Jesse Arthars leaping high above Josh Addo-Carr to snatch a Nathan Peats bomb.

Arthars didn't return for the second half after failing a HIA test when he was up-ended as Addo-Carr tunnelled under him while going up for a high ball.

Although it appeared Addo-Carr was nudged into him, the Storm winger might find himself in some trouble with the match review committee.

Scott was put on report for a dangerous tackle on Titans winger Phillip Sami and Gold Coast hooker Mitch Rein faced the same fate for a second-half tackle on Brandon Smith.
