Where will you be on the Day Cameron Smith plays his 400th NRL Game?

The list of disgraceful irony is long. Farah gets offered a post career job to LEAVE the club and we get fined, salary cap deductions and our CEO banned.

Cam gets gifted a $150,000.00 testimonial and now $15,000 worth of jewellery?

At best Greenburg is atrociously incompetent and tone deaf. Starting to seem like the conspiracy theories are real.

Whataboutism.........

Why don’t you always use the cent decimal? Consistency would be nice.

In the Matty Johns podcast interviewing Cam Smith, he was saying as a joke for the Storm to put on a testimonial dinner for Barb. But it seems the NRL were serious about it :eek:

Lame from the NRL.

If The Telegraph/News Ltd/Murdoch are upset about it, the NRLs decision to make this gift cant be all bad.

But it was given to her weeks ago at Cam's 400th game dinner, nothing to do with WiL round. If it were meant to be a recognition you gotta wonder why it didn't get a mention anywhere until a small, negative article in the DT.

You'd do more good giving 1500 volunteering RL women a $100 gift card than a diamond ring to the wife of a millionaire.
That'd cost 10 times as much, though.

Precisely. The stupidity is staggering.

They just had rave reviews of the womens Origin this year... Did they have the first woman ref a FG game this year? Maybe celebrate one of the women administrators who keep the local womens comps running by the sweat of their brows & love of the game...

Someone who has actually DONE something for the game other than... be a WAG? Tolerate Cameron Smith?

Or you know.. announce they were planning womens league like the wafl, or a state comp with ACT back in it... or funding for womens test tours... a girls academy... something of substance for women in league to kick on with, instead of the ultimate empty gesture.

Empty gestures are what Greenberg has built a career on.

Free registration to the first 500 or 1000 girls to sign up to play league in 2020...

Training gear & equipment for 7 or 8 womens teams...

Scholarships for womens referees...

2 minutes thought gives a better all round feel good dividend AND a far better & more meaningful benefit to the womens game & rugby league overall.

Todd has the smallest of visions. Myopic.

The bloke just played 400 games for the NRL and his wife was given a ring.

I’m super happy for every bloke that plays 400 games to get a ring for his wife, his mistress and his boyfriend if the NRL want to do it. But he was the first to do it so it probably won’t happen.

The bloke is an A grade turd. But if the game isn’t celebrating achievements like this properly, they’re doing themselves a disservice.

Mate it was done on the down low, it wasn't celebrating anything. It was Greenberg doing his own thing without telling anyone else on the commission. If it wasn't for at leak to the press, no one would of known. So how can anyone say it is to celebrate anything other then simply another gift/rort to the Smith family?

It is an utter disgrace and no amount of mates in the media defending Smith will change that.
