I know Fox Sports have said Young is the first Victorian to 50 games, but that's not surprising.

Where did they say he's the first? If it's the club website, it's usually about as accurate as flinging paint at a barn wall...
Club website and social media.

I get very frustrated with the lack of fact checking from the club. I've actually reached out a couple of times through the years and offered to proof read for them but never heard back.
You only need to look at the article they've put up with our origin players through the years (last year and this year), they have Folau playing after he left the club and Cam Smith debuting before he played fg.

Asofa-Solomona is now equal 10th for games played.
Tonunaipea now has 50 Storm games.
Meaney has leapfrogged Inglis and Chambers to now have the 9th most points for the Storm.

Earlier in the week they said Young was second Victorian to 50 Storm games. Then for some reason changed it Friday or yesterday.

He certainly took the longest for any Victorian (or indeed anyone at all) to get to 50 Storm games. 9 seasons!

Meaney is the 4th player to score 200 points in a season.
Cam Smith had did it twice, Matt Orford once and Matt Geyer (242 points in 1999) still holds the club record. Meaney has 204 so far this season

Does Timana Tahu count as the first Victorian to reach 50 games?
