Captains and coaches
Captains
This section contains the complete list of all players that have captained the club in an NRL game since 1998. Order is dictated by the Round and Year in which each player first captained the team. Between 2006 and 2007 the club had a rotating captains policy so there were a large number of players listed as captain during this time and it was in Round 3 2006 that Cameron Smith captained his first game even though he did not become the permanent Captain until Round 18 in 2007 which makes him the clubs 11th Captain.

Attendances
NOTE: From 2016 Melbourne Storm play one "home" fixture per year at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane as part of a Double Header. These statistics have not been included on this table below as the Suncorp Stadium capacity is significantly higher than home venues in Melbourne and crowd numbers are distorted due to the games being double headers because it is not known how much of the crowd is there for the Storm games and how many are there for the other featured game.
