In 1909, Storie played 5 times for the club as Souths claimed their second premiership in a row against Balmain in controversial circumstances. Balmain were furious that the 1909 NSWRL grand final was to be played as the under card to the Wallabies v Kangaroos match. Balmain attempted to stop the match being played and refused to take the field.

Storie retired from rugby league after the conclusion of this match.
