'unhappy' now that hometown club NQ want him back.

Well he’s stuck behind the Refs Boss for two more years now.

Well he’s stuck behind the Refs Boss for two more years now.

Those NRL memes guys have no love for Cam. I've never looked on there before yesterday, but I thought I better educate myself in case I need to be outraged.

FROM the article: the NRL had never seen the video but they sanctioned Norman for it anyway because he told them about it. (when an eels player).

Soooo a rooster player leaves and suddenly videos appear, so uncle nick stopped paying to suppress it or the releaser no longer fears ramifications from saint nick?

The Mole: Cameron Smith's re-signing could cost Storm Test hooker Brandon Smith

By The Mole
an hour ago

The Storm are in danger of losing boom young hooker Brandon Smith in the wake of Cameron Smith’s decision to sign a new two-year deal with the club.

The current Kiwi Test hooker and a member of the Storm’s grand final team last year, 22-year-old Smith was prepared to bide his time and wait for his namesake to retire - assuming he would only play one more season.

But Brandon is far from happy with the veteran hooker’s decision to play until the end of 2020 and is looking around for a better opportunity.

Several clubs are on the lookout for a class hooker for 2019, notably Parramatta, where Smith would be a great fit.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Big call to keep C.Smith until the end of 2020. Particularly if he is cooked by the end of this year and retires early (which is what I predict will happen).

 

[Twizzle]

Could also mean we lose one of either Schnieder or Mahoney.

Schnieder being the youngest could look for opportunities elsewhere.

I can't say would be unhappy if he came to Parra, but it would also likely cost us one of our highly rated (but as yet unproven) young hookers.

sorry Twizz beat me to it.

Still worth it if we can snag B.Smith.

Ben Smith retired

Yep. If you pull anything funny she'll shank you.

I predicted he will retire early at least 15 minutes before this

I still have a feeling brandon smiths future will not be at dummy half ... i reckon he is a #13 in the long run .... just not sure he knows it

 

[Glenneel]

Who's that, Mr Balls? No wonder the girl is smiling so broadly. And the nut hugger is who?

 

[Glenneel]

Stefano’s a big unit, isn’t he.

There's 3 big units in that picture, all around 115kg and heavier.. Is that Fainga'a or Kaufusi closest to camera?

Kaufusi.

Mau seems to have beefed up as well.

Why is n.. hugger changed to tt? Why can't I write it while others can? Do they have administrative privileges?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Probably white privilege

Best case I think would be combination of both. He plays hooker in tandem with Mahoney in short term but long term viewed as lock/utility so not to block Mahoney/Schneider.
IMO he isn't as good a hooker as his rep honours suggest he should be. Good ball runner, hits hard in defence, but his service is sub par, decision making is unknown and kicking game mediocre. Although at 22 obviously he should also improve, but if signing him threatened retaining Mahoney or Schneider, I'd pass on Bea Smith

I reckon he was slowing up the season past. 12mths is a long time in professional sport
