Melbourne Storm roster

Of the 17 players that ran out in last year’s grand final, the Storm will be missing Billy Slater (retired) and Tim Glasby (Newcastle).The club has plenty of talent to fill Glasby’s spot, but it’s who fills Slater’s No.1 jumper that will draw the most attention.Jahrome Hughes, 24, has a golden opportunity to make the role his own after featuring there in five games last season — he played another six at halfback.Cameron Munster says he’s open to moving back to fullback, but it remains to be seen if coach Craig Bellamy would do that given it could leave two relatively inexperienced playmakers to run the show.As for the forwards, Sam Kasiano will be desperate to make his mark after an injury-plagued 2018 and could be the man to replace Glasby in the 17.But the former Kiwi international will have the likes of Albert Vete, Patrick Kaufusi and Tui Kamikamica breathing down his neck.Regardless of the changes, the Storm should be a title contender once again if their new fullback fires, but any side with the newly re-signed and evergreen, Cameron Smith, will be a threat.Aside from the departures of Slater and Glasby, the Storm line-up won’t change much in 2019.Hughes has already had a taste of fullback at NRL, while the club are well stocked with props to take over Glasby’s spot.With yet another member of ‘The Big Three’ having departed, the experience and leadership of both Bellamy and Smith will be invaluable.Melbourne will be hoping that Croft continues to develop into an elite player in 2019.The talented youngster had a roller coaster year in 2018, winning the race to the No.7 jumper for the opening games before he was dropped after Round 5.He got a crack later in the year and was halfback in the grand final, but he’ll need to step up again next season.Hailing from the NSW Central Coast suburb of Terrigal, Drinkwater has been at the Storm since 2016 and is a contender for the fullback role.Able to play in the halves as well, Drinkwater made his NRL debut for the club in Round 25 last year, but mostly played at fullback for Easts Tigers in the Intrust Super Cup.His good form in 2018 also saw him represent Queensland in the No.1 in the annual Residents clash with NSW.Cheyse Blair, Albert Vete, Tui Kamikamica, Ryan Papenhuyzen.If injuries hit the side in 2019, the Storm have some pretty handy replacements to fill the void.The likes of Vete and Kamikamica have NRL experience and can easily do a job in the forwards if called on, as can Blair who can play centre or wing and has 82 games to his name.Papenhuyzen, who is yet to play NRL, can be considered a smoky for the fullback position and has been plying his trade for the Sunshine Coast Falcons in the Intrust Super Cup.With his playing future now sorted, Smith is in line to become the first player to crack 400 NRL games.Already in his own league sitting on 384 games, if Smith remains fit, he’ll hit the incredible milestone against Cronulla at AAMI Park in Round 17.Canterbury legend Hazem El Masri’s record for the most NRL career points is also set to tumble with Smith needing just 32 points.A NOTE ABOUT RELEVANT ADVERTISING: We collect information about the content (including ads) you use across this site and use it to make both advertising and content more relevant to you on our network and other sites.
