Six again: Josh Addo-Carr rewrites record books as Storm thump Souths

Even fewer people would have anticipated Addo-Carr scoring six tries. Not since Newtown’s Jack Troy in 1950 had a player crossed the line for six tries in a game.

If anybody questioned Addo-Carr’s standing as the best winger in the game, they would have gone to bed on Thursday night knowing they had seen a man in his prime.He produced tremendous speed off the mark to pounce on a Justin Olam kick to score his first. On another occasion he caught a Nicho Hynes pass behind him and beat Damien Cook in a footrace to the left corner.Canterbury fans would have enjoyed the South Sydney carve-up knowing Addo-Carr will be wearing their colours next season.

Souths coach Wayne Bennett would have been disappointed with the poor completion rates by the 17 players who were fit enough to take the field.Bennett would have feared the worst when Cook clutched at his right knee after being stripped of the ball by Cameron Munster, then Cody Walker yelled out in pain as his left ankle was trapped in a tackle by Jahrome Hughes.
