1 goal - 43 players have kicked a goal for the Storm

Josh Addo-Carr

Max King
12 games - equal 136th with Wairangi Koopu
1 try - 149 players have scored at least one try for the Storm. 19 players have scored 1 try.
King also played his 50th NRL game in a Storm jersey (alas that was the match he was suspended for the hip drop tackle and his last game for the Storm)

Wow, did Fats really only play 6 games for us?

Nice wrap up Scooter. :toothy8:

That’s it Scooter - give the people what they want. Super obscure Storm stats. I genuinely love it!

So you like super obscure Storm stats?

Here's a good one. When Scott Anderson played in the 2008 grand final, he was (at the time) the least experienced player in the NRL era to play a grand final with just 9 fg games.

Moses Mbye broke that record in 2014 and Blake Taafe is set to beat it again this year.

Nice one!

What a way to go down in folklore. Play a handful of games and win a Grand Final in one of the most brutal competitions in the world.

Thanks from me too Scooter . Those names conjure up some long- distant memories. A few lucky blokes there, signing up mid-season, winning a premiership then moving on. I think Richie barely had 12 minutes of game time in the 2012 GF.

7 tries - equal 79th for Storm with Michael Crocker, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Ben McDougall.
28 points - equal 80th for Storm with Michael Crocker, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, Ben McDougall and Brett Finch.
As fas as I know the only Storm player to have represented Canada.

3 goals - equal 21st for Storm with Joe Stimson, Ben Roberts and John Wilshere.

Daniel Atkinson
Storm player 216
One of 18 players to be one game wonders for the Storm. Only three of those players have scored in their only match. John Wilshere (3 goals), Scott Drinkwater (1 try) and Josh Graham (1 try).

Judda Turahui never played first grade.
