New Zealand dynamo Shaun Johnson was full of confidence heading into the 2011 Preliminary Final with the Storm in Melbourne, and with the game poised on a knife edge, the touch football wonder kid took the game by the scruff of the neck in a dazzling display of speed, footwork and sleight of hand.
On a probing run across the field, Johnson dummied three times, turning the defence inside out – literally, for poor Kevin Proctor – before skipping to the outside of Cooper Cronk and offloading to Lewis Brown who scored in the corner.
His moment of sheer brilliance ensured the Warriors would make only their second ever Grand Final appearance.
