Melbourne Storm Team of the Decade announced Sat June 23, 2007 Source: www.melbournestorm.com.au Melbourne Storm tonight announced its "Team of the Decade" at the club's official 10th birthday Gala Dinner held at the National Gallery Victoria. A crowd of close to 700 people saw many past and present players honoured with their induction into what has been judged to be the best team in Melbourne Storm's history. Eight current players have been named in the line-up, while six retired players were also named. Three players who are still plying their trade with other clubs made up the remainder of the team. Glenn Lazarus, the club's first big name signing, was named as captain of the team, while current coach Craig Bellamy was named as coach. Storm CEO Brian Waldron said the members of the team of the decade showed just how many greats of the game had played for the club in its short history. "The team is a collection of past greats and current champions," said Waldron. "It's indicative of the strength of our future when current players such as Cam Smith, Billy Slater, Ryan Hoffman, Greg Inglis and many others are in this team announced tonight. "It's also tremendous recognition for the likes of Glenn Lazarus, Marcus Bai, Matt Geyer and Stephen Kearney, just to name a few, for the outstanding contributions they have made to the club. "The selection committee of John Ribot, Frank Stanton, Greg Brentnall and Steve Mascord had an extremely difficult time deciding the final 18 selected given the depth of talent this club has had in its brief but rich history."

Cooper Cronk Coach: Craig Bellamy News sent by: www.melbournestorm.com.au Marcus Bai announces retirement Tue December 19, 2006 Source: www.bradfordbulls.co.uk Bradford Bulls winger Marcus Bai has today announced his retirement from the game. Marcus joined the Bulls at the start of Super League XI after spending the previous two seasons with Leeds Rhinos. He had initially agreed a new one-year contract extension at the Grattan Stadium but has now decided to retire. He made an immediate impact with the Bulls, scoring two tries on his debut against Wests Tigers and in doing so became the only player to win three World Club Challenge medals with three different clubs. In all he made 26 appearances for the Bulls and scored 12 tries. Bulls Coach Steve McNamara said today: "It's a blow. Marcus has been fantastic since he's been at the club both on and off the field. We really missed his presence when he was out for big chunks of the season. He scores tries, creates opportunities and does a lot of hard work so we will miss him but he's been honest with us. His wife has just had a baby and he didn't feel his body would stand another season after giving everything due consideration. "It does leave us in a tricky situation but we'll monitor things and see where we go from here. It's going to give somebody else an opportunity and we still have a very strong squad."
