The Melbourne Storm's Premiership Haul: A roller coaster ride from glory to... oh wait, back to glory!
The Melbourne Storm. A team known for their electric play, their passionate fans (and maybe a few controversies along the way). But one question always seems to spark debate: how many premierships have they actually won? Buckle up, rugby league fans, because this is a trip.
Officially? The Storm sit proudly at four NRL premierships, claiming victory in 1999, 2012, 2017 and 2020. That's a fair chunk of silverware, enough to make any trophy cabinet cry tears of envy.
But hold on a sec... didn't they win more? You eagle-eyed NRL enthusiasts might be thinking, "Didn't they win in 2007 and 2009 too?". Well, you'd be right... ish. The Storm did technically win those grand finals, but a bit of a salary cap situation arose (let's just say their accountant might have accidentally used Monopoly money) and those titles were unfortunately stripped. So close, yet so far from a premiership six-pack.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
So, how many premierships do they REALLY have? Ah, that's the beauty of sport (and pub arguments)! Officially, it's four. But some hardcore Storm fans will argue for six. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide which side of the fence you land on. Just remember, friendly banter is all part of the fun (unless your team just lost to the Storm, then all bets are off).
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
