It's fitting that it's family round for Melbourne when they host St George Illawarra with the club celebrating Kenny Bromwich's 200th NRL game. Bromwich will become just the eighth Storm player to reach the milestone on Sunday with older brother Jesse already among the elite company headed by retired captain Cameron Smith. With a combined tally of 477, the duo have played more NRL matches than any other siblings currently in the game. "To have eight players do it and then two of them will be us (Bromwich), that's pretty crazy," Bromwich told. "It's good to be amongst those boys - some of those names, they're club legends and NRL legends. "Our parents will be at the game as it's parents round at the club which will be pretty special." "He really took his opportunity in the second row and I think he's a big reason why that left edge is really dangerous," said Jesse, the Storm captain. "It's been a bit of a journey for him but now he's a really important part of our team. "I feel very grateful to be a part of the journey for the whole time and it's really nice for our family - I'm just really proud of him. "At the start we just wanted to play one NRL game so it's really cool we've both been able to play 200 games at this club which has given so much to us."
