Melbourne Storm

Scott Drinkwater

Having made his NRL debut in Round 25, 2018 and signing a two-year contract extension with the Melbourne Storm, Scott Drinkwater has his sights set on earning a spot in the first grade team.

Now the great Billy Slater has retired and vacated the No.1 jersey, Drinkwater will battle it out against stiff competition in Jahrome Hughes to inherit the coverted fullback jersey.

After a stellar year for Melbourne's feeder club, Easts Tigers, Drinkwater was named theย Cooper Cronk Feeder Club Player of the Year at the Storm's awards night, and if given the opportunity in 2019, can ignite the competition.
