The Melbourne Storm head into the 2024 NRL season with two key questions to answer. Will their forward pack be able to improve on their performances as they continue to recover from losing the Bromwich brothers and Felise Kaufusi? And will Ryan Papenhuyzen remain fully fit for the entire season?
In what may be Craig Bellamy’s last season, can he bow out of the NRL coaching ranks with another premiership?
How will this new look from Storm Side play in the new season?
Let’s have a look at Storm’s NRL odds for 2024.

Best Melbourne Storm bets for NRL 2024
There are dozens of NRL futures markets for the Storm, but where are they likely to return some real value?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- The Storm enters the 2024 NRL season as $11 chances which would be the longest odds the club have been to win a premiership in years. With Papenhuyzen, Cameron Munster, Jahrome Hughes, and Harry Grant in the side the Storm have the star power to score points from anywhere on the field. However, their issue will be in the middle with a weakened, maturing forward pack that is not guaranteed to dominate their opponents weekly.
- The Storm are $2.80 chances to finish in the top four on the NRL ladder in 2024. In their 2023 season, the Storm lost just two matches in Melbourne last season (one at AAMI Park), which is the best home-field record they have produced in recent years. The key to success for the Storm in 2024 will be winning on the road, particularly during the representative period where they will be missing Munster and Grant at minimum.
- Will Warbrick is the rightful $2 favourite to be the leading try scorer for the Storm in 2024. Warbrick won the 2023 Rookie of the Year award thanks to his incredible acrobatics to score tries and his immense strength in carrying the football. He will become a target for defenders in 2024, but Warbrick is good enough to overcome those challenges. The $2 odds although is a safe bet is not a smart 27 week investment, however Warbrick is priced at $26 to lead the NRL as the top tryscorer.

Storm players to watch in 2024
Ryan Papenhuyzen
Born: 10/6/1998
Games: 72
Tries: 49
Position: Fullback
Ryan Papenhuyzen will be one of the most-watched players in the NRL in 2024 as he returns from a horrific run of injuries. In pre-season trials he has already shown great movement across the field, but he is yet to be tested in contact at a proper first-grade standard. Many will be hoping he remains injury-free, most of all Storm fans, who will be hoping he can play a key role in winning another premiership for the club.
Nick Meaney
Born: 10/9/1997
Games: 112
Tries: 45
Position: Centre
Nick Meaney is expected to shift into the centres this season, with Papenhuyzen returning from injury, to cover the loss of Justin Olam in the off-season. Meaney is an incredibly talented footballer and smart enough to make the correct decisions in defence. However, his biggest issue will be matching the physicality of a full first-grade season for the Storm in the centres.
Nelson Asofa-Solomona
Born: 29/2/1996
Games: 184
Tries: 30
Position: Prop
Nelson Asofa-Solomona will have an enormous role to play in this Storm forward pack in 2024. For years, he has been the impact player off the bench who can bend the defensive lane and get quick play-the-balls, allowing his halves and outside backs to play with freedom and speed. In 2024, he will need to continue this role for longer periods to compensate for the lack of damaging middle forwards at the club. Interestingly, he will also likely shift to the second row at points in the season to target smaller defenders in the halves. The high rate of success he has in this role will likely reflect in the number of wins Melbourne enjoy.

- Melbourne Storm is an appropriate name for a team that was born in the maelstrom of the Super League wars. It is also an apt description for the club’s sudden and violent impact on the NRL.
Prior examples tell us that it takes several years – sometimes decades, sometimes never – for an expansion team to find its feet at the top level. The Storm put that nonsense to bed when they won the first four games of their maiden season in 1998. They reached finals that year and went even better the next, downing St George Illawarra to win the NRL Grand Final at the ripe old age of two.
Melbourne grew stronger and stronger during the first decade of the new millennium, adding premiership wins in 2007 and 2009 alongside minor flags in 2006 and 2008. However, they were all taken away in 2010 when the club was charged with a series of salary cap breaches adding up to over $3 million. Stripped of all their premiership points, the Storm finished bottom of the ladder that year for the first and only time.
Even that couldn’t shake the men in purple. Boasting top-drawer talents such as Cameron Smith, Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk, Gareth Widdop and Justin O’Neill, the Storm reached the prelims in 2011 and reclaimed one of their disqualified premierships a year later. They were losing grand finalists in 2016 and restored their flag count to three with a dominant win over the Cowboys in 2017.
The Melbourne Storm have missed the finals only three times – once through a points deduction for salary cap breaches – since joining the competition in 1998. In that time they have featured in eight grand finals and finished top of the table seven times. Past mistakes aside, that’s a hell of a strike rate.
