For a while now, one of my reoccurring niche topics has been to curate a team of the 191 players who have played just one NRL game for the Melbourne Storm.
It’s an eclectic bunch of misfits, the chronically injured, and late injury replacements; that somewhat surprisingly, does fit into a team.
Some of these players went on to have NRL careers elsewhere, a couple in different sports.
Editor’s note: On any of the names below, click on the link for that player’s Wikipedia article, or click on the Instagram post to go to the 2022 project published for season 25. If anyone has a picture of the players that are missing,2 please send it in so it can be updated.
Backs

Playing for the Storm, or in Storm gear at training.
I’ve long maintained that Morgan is ineligible for this team due to his appearance in the 2000 World Club Challenge against St Helens.
