Year 10 student Harry Bazley for the past 9 years has had the privilege of being the Melbourne Storm ballboy for their away games. Harry has been a part of the Melbourne Storm setup throughout the salary cap scandal in 2009 all the way up until the Grand Final win last year and into 2018. Harry arrives early for games, helping set up the warmup and stays back after the game to assist clean up. His role allows him to mingle with players and staff before and after games as well as running out with the players.
We caught up with Harry to get an insight into what his experience has been like.
Harry's time with the Melbourne Storm is coming to an end at the conclusion of this season. Congratulations and well done Harry. Below is a photo that Australian, Queensland and Melbourne Storm player Billy Slater posted on Instagram of Harry and himself after a recent NRL game.
