It was great to see Marcus and all the old boys come down for Warriors game.  I had not Heard anything about him for years.  For the Younger generation Marcus Bai was the Original Melbourne Storm crowd hero from the first home game on. Pre Billy Slater & GI.  In 1998 Marcus would steamroll opposing wingers week in week out.  He gave a great presence down in Melbourne to NRL.  A true original Storm Hero

I was amazed when I walked past T and Lazo on the concourse.  I just said g'day, and they both said, individually, that they were here to support the boys and wouldn't have missed it.
It's these sort of people the club has been built on!!
Storming our way to glory!

Marcus was always great on and off the field....
Remember when he severed the artery on his right
arm on the sponsors board that were around the ground.

I was there that night and not to far away it was terrible
to see and hear. I thought he would never return to playing.

And he wore a Meninga-esque arm guard for quite some time. Absolute champion and clearly the forums' namesake.

Out of interest was A. Moule there? He was a great player too, would love to watch a few foundation year games - i don't suppose anyone has any or knows where to get them?

Cheers,

Loved Robbie!    Someone has him as their sig pic. Didn't think we'd ever have a better fullback tbh.....then came Billy!

I remember when i cringed every time a high ball was put up. Then i cringed every time Billy went in to stop a potential try feet first (probably half for the opposing player, half wondering how long our Billy would sit on the sidelines after the event). Now i couldn't imagine another number 1 at the storm, at least for the immediate future, and hopefully for the long term!
