Seven straight wins to start the season extended the club's winning streak to 15 games dating back to the previous campaign. The Origin period proved difficult to negotiate however with team unable to come up with some crucial wins at the business end of the season, eventually finishing in third place. Two finals losses to the Rabbitohs and Knights prematurely ended the season, as Storm did not make the preliminary final stage for just the second time in eight years. The Storm attack was the shining light of the season, producing 98 tries to be ranked second in the competition. The team also had the best home record of any side in the NRL, losing just the one game at AAMI Park during the season. Cooper Cronk was rewarded for several seasons of brilliance, claiming his first Dally M Medal Player of the Year honour. Off the field Storm experienced a change at the helm with Mark Evans replacing Ron Gauci as CEO midway through the season, following divestment of the club by News Limited to new ownership.[1]

Jerseys

In 2013 the Storm jerseys were again made by Kooga. They created a new jersey design for 2013 which featured more navy blue and a more prominent and deeper chevron that integrated the sponsor's (Crown Casino) logo into the design, which featured purple lightning bolts for the first time. The secondary club colours of gold and white were removed and reduced respectively, so that the jersey was essentially half navy blue and half purple. The clash jersey was a white version of the home jersey.[8] Special

  • World Club Challenge – Melbourne would wear a predominately white and purple jersey for the match against Leeds Rhinos, featuring a deep chevron containing a purple gradient design, with silver and gold highlights.
  • Round 10 – Melbourne released a special jersey for the "Women of League" round match against Manly Warringah Sea Eagles.[9] The jersey consisted of navy blue and pink horizontal hoops.
  • Round 13 – Storm wore a jersey to promote the Superman movie Man of Steel.[10] The jerseys design is similar to that of the costume worn in the movie with the red Superman logo on the front.
  • Round 14 – Storm wore a heritage jersey design, which was a replica of the original 1998 navy blue jersey.[11]
  • Round 17 – Dubbed the "Big Battle," for the home match against the Brisbane Broncos the Storm wore a mostly silver jersey design.[12]

NRL Under-20s
Main article: 2013 NRL Under-20s season

In the sixth season of the NRL's NRL Under 20s now known as the Holden Cup, Anthony Seibold replaced Dean Pay as coach, with Pay moving to the Canberra Raiders as an assistant coach to Ricky Stuart.

Melbourne again finished the regular season in 9th place on the ladder, meaning the club would not qualify for the finals for the second year in a row. A six match losing streak in the second half of the season proving costly.

Kurt Mann (Queensland), Dean Britt and Matthew Lodge (NSW) would make the Under-20 State of Origin teams for the match played in April, with Lodge later featuring in the competition's team of the year chosen at prop forward.[3]
