Surely they don’t truly believe this.
I don’t get why they are surprised?

Is that it? Player booed by opposition fans when lining up a conversion........jeez are we at that level of snowflakeness?

I don't think Smith has any plans to retire at the end of 2018. If he's eyeing off 400 games he'll have to go around in 2019.

I wonder what kind of fundraiser he will throw for himself next year?

Maybe auction off some copies of 'A Night With Cam & Vonny'

Smith and Thurston Testimonial brought to you by Ralph Lauren Briefcases.

The RL media is oblivious to how disliked the merkin is among fans for some reason.

I don't think they are. I just think they're obliged to completely ignore it, especially Fox given the grub is graduating into a full time role with them when he's finished.

I was going to say good job Brisbane crowd, but what sort of logic suggests turning up in the pissing rain to a meaningless pre-season wank fest and booing the guy the wank fest has been produced for? And the captain and arguably the most influential of the halycon period of your Origin side?

Or maybe there was just a sht load of Cowboys fans there?

Everyone taking the conversions was getting boo’ed. Even Gavin Cooper and Kyle Feldt.

Why would anyone hate on Kyle Feldt?????.........





Hey Broncos fans??..........

the NRL has followed up the groundbreaking "Night with Cam and JT" Testimonial Match with an amendment to the foul play rules called the "Testimonial Tackle" rule...

But does Cam Smith get booed when he plays in Townsville during the year? I don't remember it if so.

ANyway, it's deserved booing. I remember when our fans booed the shit out of him and the Storm after the salary cap rort came out, I was as proud as I've ever been.

Yes he does, just like all the other referees do.

You legit beat us at AAMI Park the following year in a prelim, but the proudest you've ever been was when people booed?

Kiwis are backwards

It's hard to be proud of something which at the time hadn't happened yet.

Australians are simple.

And the fact your signature holds a quote based on those systematic rorting days only furthers my thought that the booing was the way to go. A lot of my proudest moments include the Storm, given we were quite regularly able to beat a bunch of unrepentant cheats.

I'm proud of winning premierships but you know, each to their own. Also your club cheated too...remember? Either you have short memory or selective memory. I can at least own up to the fact that the admin of our club were rotten crooks

The NRL Apparently told James Hooper that the criteria to be eligible for a testemonial is 250+ NRL games, to have play origin or test footy and (this is the kicker) to be a clean skin for the entirety of your career.

I wonder if they actually said this with a straight face.

I hope the Knights hold one for Gids and donate the proceeds to a new Prop then.

Would happily boo Mick Watson. None of our coaches or players were complicit in that salary cap breach...we all suspect that's not the case at Olympic Park.

And I sure as shit wouldn't claim accomplishments we were rightly stripped of. Ie, I never say we made the finals in 2006. We didn't. Results-wise we did, but we cheated. Same as 1995 I think it was. No one at our club argues those points. We're not hypocritical in that regard.

Then Fox Sports says JT and Smith have won 6 premierships between them. The sycophancy just makes me ill.
