It's been an honour and a privilege to watch Billy evolve as probably the club's greatest ever player.

Congrats on reaching this milestone Billy!!!

Interesting debate about who is our best ever player (we could probably throw up 30-40 who would make the topp 10 at other clubs)

I still think it's Cam Smith (just)

1.Smith
2.Slater
3.Kearns
4.Cronk
5.Geyer
6.Kearney
7.Johnson
8.Lazarus
9.Bai
10.Hill

A massive congrats to Bill, how fitting his 200th falls on such a big game in front of a big crowd. Definitely my all time favorite player ever to lace a boot for the Storm taking over from Robbie Ross a few years ago with Cam being a close 3rd.

When Billy with the help of Crocker smashed Stuart in the 2007 grand final :lol: , that was the day he became a storm hero.

Well done Billy

What a champion player and bloke Slater is. Has been my favourite player since I started watching and supporting the Melbourne Storm back in 2004. He is a humble man and deserves all the achievements he has got and may many more come his way. Congratulation Billy - legend!
