I hated him when my teams played him, but did similar with Wally too. Got nothing but respect for what he’s achieved, especially for being the biggest villain of the modern era, love it. Wally was the same of his era..

They are the two best I’ve ever seen. Not for pure skill, for everything they brought to the match...

Smith was the last of the modern day greats still playing.. now he’s retired.. it’s watching the last Holden roll off the production line.. now we’re seeing bog standard SUV’s and Korean plasticware everywhere...

I honestly believe there are no true greats now playing in the NRL. Benji Marshall is the only possible contender...

And there’s only a few potential greats, a handful at most... particularly in the playmaking positions...

Great career, won more titles by lightyears ahead of everyone else, one of leagues true greats in its history.

All time great, got to watch him live for the better part of a decade, was an incredible winner and leader.

I remember much angst in the press about the Storm letting Richie Swain go and how they had made a bad call as they had no- one to play hooker.

Haha. Blah blah anyone who criticises him is butt-hurt blah blah have a cry etc.

Cameron Smith to me is one of the greatest players of all-time. Genius. Absolute superstar on the field.

Absolute cock smoker of a person.

Announcing your retirement 24 hours out from the start of a season is ultimate cock smoker behaviour. Grubby f**k, cheated the cap as his own manager, ref manipulator, and anything else off field that you might want to believe.

You can actually think both about a person - that they were a superstar player but a sub-par human. That's where I'm at.

My thoughts exactly....

Nobody can question his achievements as a player - one of the most influential players the game has ever seen.

But he also comes across as a shit bloke. Hasn’t always been that way, there was always an element of smug, but over the past 4 or 5 years, his narcissistic ways have really come to the fore. For someone in that Melbourne system, where it’s all about club first, it’s weird that Cameron appears to think he’s bigger than the game itself.

I just like to show my appreciation for NRL360 holding an impromptu Cameron Smith Special tonight, instead of you know, actually talking about the NRL season kickoff tomorrow.

Honestly, what a complete tard announcing his retirement the day before kickoff.

And here I was thinking this could be the season we get to kickoff without some debacle right beforehand.

I am so glad he didn't bow down to Hoops and co who were pushing him out of the game last year. He is an angel compared to those so called journos.

Ppl just line up to have a crack anyway he would have been criticised whenever he retired.

The guys career is over one of the best ever, now the competition rolls on without him.
