"James Tedesco is the best fullback in the game and has been for the last couple of years... but Paps is getting closer to him," Bellamy said.Bellamy paid tribute to the role that former star fullback Slater has played in Papenhuyzen's stunning rise during the past 18 months."We would all like to put our hand up and say we have helped him here or helped him there and we taught him this or taught him that, but Billy has been his mentor and has been his teacher.
Asofa-Solomona also played a key role in the fullback's fourth, slipping another quality offload to Brandon Smith who found Jahrome Hughes who burst into the backfield and found Papenhuyzen looming up in support. Jennings had a second shortly after and fittingly it was Papenhuyzen throwing the final pass after superb lead-up which featured debutant Trent Loiero.At 32-6 the game was well and truly in the bag but Papenhuyzen had one more trick up his sleeve, producing a magical flick pass out the back to Cameron Munster who put the ball on the toe and touched down for 38-6.
Remarkably it was Brisbane who looked the better side early thanks to Anthony Milford's kicking game and Coates' superb 85-metre effort in which he outpaced Addo-Carr.
