Cam Smith retiring from rep footy

I'm disgusted at some of what I've read here from Queensland supporters, I'm sure you were all fine until you found out, I'm sure he was a legend until you read the news.
What more do you want from a player? 42 Origins, 56 Tests and future immortal, and deservingly so.
The timing might seem odd to most but think about it. I'm sure at his age it's tough to get up week in week out and produce the quality football that he has consistently.
IMO he's had a good hard think about it, remembered how tough the Origin period is on the mind and body and decided he just doesn't want to put himself and family through it one more time. Yes, it would have been nice to see him play and hopefully finish up in a winning series and do the lap of honour, but so be it.

I applaud you Cam on what you have done for Rugby League over your career so far, especially in the representative arena, congratulations to you!!

So who do we have to fill the void? Andrew McCULLOUGH, Jake GRANVILLE, James SEGEYARO, Kurt BAPTISTE (highly doubtfull)
I just hope they pick a specialist dummy half.

Oh and I won't be surprised if Morgan has the (c) next to his name.
f**k Cameron Smith... Great player no one is saying he isn't... The merkin is a grub of the highest order, A dog and just a outright poor excuse of a human being...

Will go down as one of the worst People to play the game. f**king scum.

The media will never mention his grubbing it up and it'll be forgotten in time. It's only ok to remind us every week when it's someone like Ennis.

If NSW can't beat this Qld team they should be replaced with an affiliated states and territories team.

Qld have lost Smith, Thurston and Cronk, none of the Qld sides are in the top 8 and Mitchell Pearce is injured.

Load up on QLD then?

Can’t belive this weak move by little Cammy to finish his rep career. For a guy that has given it all for QLD he has really left them in the shit only a few weeks out from Origin. Says a lot about the bloke.

What does it say about Langer?

I’d say he waited to see what his body was telling him as it got close to the series and it wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

For a 35 year old that makes 40 tackles a game you can’t really hold that against him.

The maroons might be going into game 1 without a first choice club goal kicker

Been a pleasure Cameron.

Absolutely fantastic player. One of the best ever, and now the standard for all hookers to be measured by.
