[Fufu Andronez]

No ones talking about this anymore. Perfect damage control...

Same thing I was thinking. Really sums him up for me. Just like on the field, I'd chalk it up to a coincidence, but it's Cam Smith.

 

[blaza88z]

Smart play from Smith, delays his rep retirement knowing full and well the judiciary would take it into account

I was hoping he'd get 6 weeks, 6 months even.. can't stand the merkin and I am a Queenslander

 

[AJB1102]

Can't wait to watch the old merkin get belted for 240 minutes in origin this year

Keep holding your breath

 

[Twizzle]

he's thrown all the toys out now the refs have actually started refereeing him

I cant help but wonder what sort of career he would have had if they did this from the start, decent enough player but still a merkin

Keep holding your breath

So disappointing that none of those knobs are going to be around for the reckoning.

The coward is strong in the QLD heroes

Just passing the cockroach whacking stick onto the next generation to have their fun.

The once in a lifetime team is no more.

I guess you still got origin superstars like boyd, hunt, cherry-Evans, Morgan, gagai, the overrated flog who plays 6 for melbourne etc to carry on that great legacy.

The match review committee turned a blind eye towards a blatant DCE eye gouge. We'll see if lightning strikes twice with Cam Smith.

That chicken wing tackle he did was designed to illegally injure a player. That the tackle did not even attract a penalty is a worry in itself. Proctor will miss a bare minimum of 4 weeks football for that groin injury. Cam should be out of the game for at least the duration of Proctors injury plus a few extra weeks.

Actually, the tackle was not a "chicken wing" as a chicken wing involves attacking the arm, it was a "wishbone" as he was wrenching the leg.

That said it's a joke he only got 1 match. He should have gotten much more for it.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Most overrated player of all time

Shit merkin won't even get picked for Origin this year

Ah yes, Darius and his famous SOO career. About 45 Merritt-esque flops over the try line.

& under penalised.

His grubbiness and cheating will forever overshadow his playing ability and will be what he's really remembered for.

Deadset.. Do you think thats part of the reason the merkin is such a merkin ? I mean I would be pissed off as well if I was in his position and ended up with that lass... ( No disrespect to her )

I can't say I've ever seen his missus but I have seen his kids in their cute #9 jerseys on numerous occasions.
