Melbourne Storm reportedly want Cameron Smith to decide on his NRL future this week.

The Sunday Telegraph reported that Melbourne was growing anxious about its difficult roster situation for next season and felt that Smith had been given long enough to decide whether he would retire or play on.

Smith, 37, assured the Storm that he would not drag-out his decision but the end of this season is nearing, with no answer as yet.


Melbourne have the headache of what to do with outstanding young hookers Brandon Smith and Harry Grant, even without the possible presence of Cameron Smith.

Grant has starred while on loan for Wests Tigers, possibly trumping the claims of Brandon Smith to inherit Cameron Smith's Storm No.9 jersey; despite the New Zealand Test hooker feeling he has first dibs on the position.

The Telegraph reported that Storm chairman Matt Tripp would meet with Smith and his agent, Isaac Moses, this week.

There has been a push for Smith to have a swansong season with the struggling Brisbane Broncos or Gold Coast Titans, though the Telegraph - citing "those closest to the former Kangaroos and Maroons skipper" - tipped him to retire.

I actually thought Smith was one of the few who managed himself, without an agent.

I hope Melbourne make the grand final, he announces his retirement beforehand and they lose ala Billy Slater.

The boos my friend. Cam won't have them.

I think it will be announced afterwards. Potentially with his origin send off. If somehow the Origin game gets played in QLD that would be exactly how'd he like it. Definitely not like Billy's.

Those two cuckolded the state of NSW for 12 years, their work is done.
Haha Inglis filled his boots against some of the worst nsw backlines of all time. Funny how his tries dried up when nsw started getting some first graders to defend him and Darius 'Merritt' Boyd

Brodie Croft must be on his knees praying that Cameron Smith doesn't come to the Broncos. Unlike Cronk moving, I don't have an issue with Cameron going to either Broncos or Titans next year.

I think Melbourne will be desperate to keep him in some capacity because if they don't and he moves to play in QLD, I can't see him going back post retirement.
