Difference being everybody here would cry bloody murder for any thing Cameron Smith touches. Nobody has said anything about this ball hit except “lol at Smith” “Smith got what he deserved” and shit like that.
And since when is missing a grand final been considered little to no punishment? People here like to think Smith is this evil player that is as dirty as they come (people actually believe he tried to permanently injure Jarrod Crocker) and gets away with everything, but it’s just not true. Smith gets penalised a lot, and every time it happens it’s always the same posts on these forums “holy shit they actually penalised Smith” “referee Smith finally gets penalised” but if people actually paid attention they would see Smith is probably one of the most penalised players especially for the Storm. Everyone complains about Smith talking to the refs, which is just ridiculous, that’s part of his job, every other captain and a lot players that aren’t captain talk and argue with the refs, but Smith is the only one people complain about.
