'I want to come back': Storm send off Suliasi with Fijian hymn tribute

Suliasi Vunivalu is already eyeing off a return to Melbourne after his teammates learned a Fijian hymn to give him a moving farewell long after the masses had left ANZ Stadium.

In a nod to the esteem Vunivalu holds among his teammates, the Storm returned to the soggy ANZ Stadium turf at 1am with a moving farewell for their star winger.NRL.com understands Melbourne players learned the words to the Fijian hymn,"Noqu Masu", while in camp on the Sunshine Coast. "I'm so grateful to Craig [Bellamy] and everyone here. I didn't know anything about rugby league when I first turned up.

Vunivalu exits for now as one of the game's elite finishers with 86 tries to his name from just 111 Storm appearances.Of all those four-pointers, none have garnered quite the reaction from Bellamy as that 30th minute runaway effort from Cleary's looping long ball.

🥺 I hope wallabies don’t waste his talent

Vinaka storm 🇫🇯🇫🇯🙏🏻

These Fijian players start their careers on the absolute base NRL contracts then become world class wingers so can’t begrudge them leaving for better money

One of my favourite players since putting on the purple jersey..hopefully see him back in the future 💯

These Fijians always fuck off to union. Why waste your money developing them knowing they will piss off.

Best intercept ever

Crying 😭 the storm learnt the words to the hymn the fiji rugby league team sings before every game to send Suli off ☺️

Master and commander: Smith shines as Storm hold off Panthers comebackCameron Smith put on a vintage display as Melbourne ended Penrith's 17-game winning streak at the worst possible time for the Panthers - on grand final night. Panthers gifted the Storm too much. Storm deserve credit for being more composed but I wouldn’t say they dominated, rather Penrith self destructed at times. 22-0, 4-20. The Pap runway try the difference, why he deserved the CCM. Luck factor caused big momentum swings.
