A place in the game.
Storm’s first premiership match took place on 14 March 1998. The NRL club profile records four recognised premierships at the review date. This profile uses “first season” rather than a founding year because formation and competition debut are different milestones.
Club competition and representative football.
NRL club matches and State of Origin belong to different competitions. Players represent their clubs in the NRL; eligible players may also be selected for a state representative side.
