I've got no problem with this.

Smith has almost played 400 games plus another 80 odd representative games. A giant of the game.

I'm guessing you'll be championing Steve Menzies for next year then? 349 games in 1st grade, close to 50 rep games, 130 games in Super League, and never once accused of being a salary cap cheat or signing multiple contracts.

God save the Beaver.

 

[Pommy]

So what about Billy Slater?

 

[Canard]

So what about Billy Slater?

NSW want to give one to Minichello first...

 

[typicalfan]

I hope Smith stays in Melbourne and acts as an ambassador for league growth there. Congrats to both, great to see league get recognised.

Parramatta? am i missing something...

 

[Knuckle-dragger]

Parramatta? am i missing something...

I thought the same.

Perhaps where the honour was awarded today?

 

[Perth Red]

Good to see RL players getting some recognition.

 

[Hutty1986]

What an honour for two of the greatest protected species of our time

 

[Canard]

What an honour for two of the greatest protected species of our time

So Burgess and JWH got them too, good on 'em.

 

[Diesel]

Rather ironic that two of Queensland’s greatest RL players receive a Queen’s Birthday Award and the Queen’s Birthday isn’t celebrated in QLD today.

 

[bubs]

So now the on field refs will be forced to tell him "Sir Cameron, go to the bin for 10"

 

[some11]

That you are a part of.

The Queen is your head of state young man.

You speak the Queens English, God save the Queen.

It's a song mate.

 

[Mr Angry]

It's a song mate.

Tell that to a solider.

Go on.

 

[some11]

Tell that to a solider.

Go on.

Soldiers don't like the Sex Pistols?

I imagine they go around being offended by everything that insults the queen.

 

[Mr Angry]

Hey it is all good, Ser Shaun Johnson in amongst the realm, when he and Ser Nikora swam the Tasman and Braden the Brave of the Pacific Salmon, came south from the Northern its in QLD mofos.

God save the Pacific, except VFL players.

 

[Mr Angry]

Well done

 

[THE CHAMP]

That you are a part of.

The Queen is your head of state young man.

You speak the Queens English, God save the Queen.

The royals can go and f**k themselves.
Anyway some very well deserved and overdue awards for some great queenslanders and Australians.
Long live Australia
