Not every player plays 200 NRL games but not every player has the journey that Melbourne Storm centre Marion Seve had either.
With the end of the Storm’s 2026 NRL season, Seve has opted to retire from the NRL.
#193 for the Storm, Seve, who played 52 NRL games for the club over eight seasons had his highs and lows in his career and had to work hard for his first-grade opportunities.
Seve played for multiple QLD Cup sides and also represented Samoa on three occasions throughout his career.
His career almost ended prematurely after a serious eye injury but Seve fought his way back in 2025 to return to the NRL and he could not be prouder of his journey and how it has ended.
“To finish my NRL career at Melbourne Storm is something I’m incredibly proud of,” Seve said.
“There have been plenty of challenges along the way, but I’ve been lucky enough to have some great people around me who have helped me through the tough times and made the good times even more special.
“I’m grateful to everyone at Storm who has supported me throughout my time here and given me the opportunity to represent this Club.
“Wearing the purple jersey has been a privilege and I’ll always be proud to be a part of the Storm family.”
The Storm value resiliency and commitment, two traits that Storm General Manager of Football Frank Ponissi knows Seve possesses.
“Maz is a much-loved and respected member of our Club who demonstrates what it means to be a Melbourne Storm player through his hard work, resilience and respect for the jersey,” Ponissi said.
“Since arriving at our Club, Maz has taken every challenge in his stride, overcoming several long-term injuries and working extremely hard to return to the field after each setback.
“His determination to represent this Club and be a valued member of our squad is a true testament to Maz’s character.
