Message from the Owner of Melbourne Storm Rugby League Club

History

The club was created originally as an expansion club to play in the 1998 Super League season before the Australian Rugby League (ARL) and Super League competitions merged at the conclusion of their respective 1997 seasons to form the National rugby League (NRL). Former Chief executive of the Brisbane Broncos then Super League, John Ribot was appointed the club's first CEO.

During The club's first year in 1998, they exceeded expectations by winning their first four games and finishing third on the ladder. They then advanced to the finals losing to the Brisbane Broncos two games away from the Grand Final.

The following season, the Storm built on their initial success and made it to the Grand final, defeating the newly formed St George Illawarra Dragons 20-18 to become the quickest non-foundation club ever to win the premiership after their admission to the league.
