The 2017 Melbourne Storm season was the 20th in the club's history. They competed in the 2017 NRL season and at the end of the Regular season had finished in 1st place earning them their third legitimate minor premiership. The team was coached by Craig Bellamy, coaching the club for his 15th consecutive season. Melbourne Storm were also captained by Cameron Smith, who has been the sole captain for the team since 2008—making this his 10th consecutive season. Cameron Smith broke a number of league, club and personal records throughout the 2017 season including the NRL games record for the most games played, league record for the most wins as a captain, a personal best for the most points in a game and also scored his 2000th career point and 1000th career goal, the first time any player has achieved this.

With the Storm finishing first, they received a home Qualifying final against the Parramatta Eels which they won giving them a week off and a home Preliminary Final. The Storm defeated the Brisbane Broncos 30–0 to qualify them for the 2017 NRL Grand Final against the North Queensland Cowboys. Melbourne Storm dominated the Grand Final to earn them their 3rd official Premiership 34 - 6.

Season summary

  • Pre-season – New recruits took part in Melbourne Storm IDQ camp for pre season training before New Years. Brandon Smith was awarded the IDQ Iron bar.[1]
  • Auckland Nines – The club commenced their season competing in the annual Auckland Nines competition. After winning two of their three pool games they qualified for the finals. The Storm defeated the North Queensland Cowboys in the Quarter-finals before going down to the Sydney Roosters in the Semi-finals and ending their tournament.[2] The squad was co-captained by Kenny Bromwich and Young Tonumaipea, with Cameron Munster and Brodie Croft making the team of the tournament.[3]
  • 11 February – In the Storm's first trial game they came back to win 30–18 after trailing 18–0 at halftime.[4]
  • Round 1 – Ryley Jacks and Josh Addo Carr make their Melbourne Storm debuts against the Canterbury Bulldogs. Will Chambers also played his 150th Game.
  • Round 2 – The Storm defeat the New Zealand Warriors in very wet conditions 26–10. Cameron Smith scored 5 goals from 5 attempts, an impressive display given the conditions. The 10 points he scored also took him past 2000 career NRL points[5] becoming the first forward, the first Queenslander, and just the fifth player in history to have achieved the milestone.[6] Vincent Leualai and Joe Stimson make their playing debuts for the storm.
  • Round 4 – After a terrible start, which saw the Storm down 14–0 at the 38th minute mark of the game, the Storm scored 22 unanswered points to come back to win 22–14 against Wests Tigers.[7]
  • Round 5 – Melbourne defeat Penrith in their biggest win this season to date. The win was notable because it was Cameron Smith's 238th first grade win, surpassing Darren Lockyer's record and therefore making him the most successful player in history.[8] Mark Nicholls made his debut for the Storm and Tui Kamikamica made his NRL playing debut.[9][10] In addition, following this victory, Melbourne Storm remained the only undefeated side in the competition.
  • 4 April – Cooper Cronk announces that he will leave Melbourne Storm at the conclusion of the 2017 season and relocate to Sydney for personal reasons.[11] At this time, he did not make it clear as to which club he will continue his career at or if indeed he will continue at all, as he will be 34 years of age by 2018.
  • Round 8 – In the annual ANZAC Day Game, Melbourne Storm defeated the New Zealand Warriors 20–14 in a hard-fought, even contest.
  • 26 April – The ANZAC Test squad is named with three Storm players named to take part. Will Chambers, Cooper Cronk and Cameron Smith as captain in his 50th test match for Australia.[12]
  • Round 9 – Melbourne defeated St George Illawarra 34–22 in the Storm first win in Wollongong since 2005 to move 2 game clear on top of the NRL table. Cameron Smith also broke the all-time league goal kicking record during the game and Cameron Munster played his 50th Game.[13]
  • Round 10 – Melbourne travelled to Suncorp stadium Brisbane for a "Home" game. The game was quite extraordinary for its high scoring in which Melbourne scored an NRL record equalling[14] 36 points in a losing game with the Gold Coast Titans scoring two late tries to score 38 points. Cameron Smith also scored 12 points which is the highest number of points in a game thus far. Billy Slater also scored his 700th career point with his try.

  • 12 June – State of Origin game 2 teams are announced with 5 Storm players making the Queensland team. Cameron Smith (Captain), Cooper Cronk and Will Chambers all played in Game 1 while Billy Slater has been recalled after 2 years on the sideline due to injury. In addition, Tim Glasby was also announced to make his debut.
  • Round 15 – With many players missing due to State of Origin duty, a number of players made their return to the side including Curtis Scott making his first appearance in 2017, and Brodie Croft his first appearance in almost 12 months, also Mark Nicholls and Joe Stimson. Dean Britt made his playing debut. The game was very close against the equally depleted Cowboys which ended up going into Golden Point extra time and it was Brodie Croft that kicked the winning field goal.
  • Round 16 – Jahrome Hughes makes his debut for the Storm in the team's narrow 1 point Golden Point loss to the Roosters.
  • Round 17 – Melbourne defeated Brisbane 42–12 in their biggest win of the season thus far.
  • 3 July – Stet of Origin Game 3 teams are announced with six Storm players making the Queensland team. Cameron Smith (Captain), Cooper Cronk, Will Chambers, Billy Slater and Tim Glasby all return from Game 2 with Cameron Munster announced to make his debut.[16]
  • Round 18 – An undermanned Storm, (due to six players being absent on State of Origin duties), lose their fourth game of the season 22–6 to the Parramatta Eels with Nate Myles making his Storm debut.
  • Round 21 – Cameron Smith runs out for his 350th Game placing him equal second on the all-time list with Terry Lamb. The Storm had a 40–6 win over the Sea Eagles the biggest win to date over the Sea Eagles[17]
  • Round 23 – The Storm narrowly defeated the Sydney Roosters to move three games clear on top of the ladder. The win was notable for a Penalty Try awarded to Suliasi Vunivalu in the first half, and in particular 12 of the Storms 16 points coming off penalties.
  • Round 24 – The Storm thump the Newcastle Knights 44–12 in the club's highest scoring game this season to date. Brodie Croft also became the first Storm player to score 3 tries in a game this season. The win also secured Storm the 2017 Minor Premiership.[18]
  • Round 25 – Melbourne Storm demolish the South Sydney Rabbitohs 64–6 in their 5th biggest win in their history. The Storm scored 11 tries with Cameron Smith kicking 9 out of 9 goals and scoring a try this gave him 22 points for the game, his highest ever total in a single game and this was also his 250th win as captain. The win was by far the biggest of the season so far and it was also the largest score so far. Suliasi Vunivalu and Josh Addo -Carr also scored 3 tries apiece.
  • Round 26 – Melbourne Storm defeat the Canberra Raiders 32–6 in the final home and away game of the season. This game was notable as Cameron Smith played his 355th game which drew him level with Darren Lockyer's NRL record for the most games played. In addition, it was also Cooper Cronk's final home and away game for the Storm, Nelson Asofa-Solomona played his 50th game and the Storm were awarded the J. J. Giltinan Shield for winning the Minor Premiership following the game.
  • Qualifying final – Cameron Smith sets a new NRL record for the most games played, when he ran out for his 356th Game surpassing Darren Lockyer.
  • Preliminary final – Melbourne Storm Qualify for their second consecutive Grand Final defeating the Brisbane Broncos 30–0. Cameron Smith also scored his 1000th Goal during the game becoming the first NRL player to do so.

Jersey

In November 2016, the club announced that it had signed a new deal with ISC to provide all their high quality apparel to Storm players, coaches, staff and fans for the next five years. They also announced that while the ISC logo will now appear in the jersey the actual design of the home and away strips will remain the same from 2016.[63] Melbourne Storm only 12 months earlier signed a five-year deal with Star Athletic to provide all of its apparel; however it is unclear as to why this deal ended after only one year.[64]
