Yet another cam smith dog act

You do you cruciate in your knee you aren't going far, you snap your femur you aren't going too far.

you are right...............but if the accusations are true, Smith was not trying to damage the Cruciate or the Femur, he was trying to damage the Achilles Tendon

I damaged my Achilles a few years ago while doing shuttle runs and could barely walk

Had to laugh at 'most vulnerable' places on the body..

Neglect the fact it's actually one of the strongest tendons. So much so that both Nathan Stapleton and Anthony Tupou have had a donated achilles implanted in their knees.

If Cameron Smith was a real man he would have offered to donate his Achilles to Luke Bailey. :sarcasm:

He'll still get a 9 possibly 10 in this weeks RLW on last nights effort. He blew the tits off the park.

This is surely a gee up. Smith played the house down. Bailey got injured. Somebody farted. Another African dropped. A welcome respite from the Olympic bore-a-thon.

The Achilles Heel got its name from the Greek Oral History of the Iliad - the siege of Troy. Achilles, a Greek Prince, a very violent chap as well, was dipped in the river Styx by his mother when he was a baby meaning he was immortal except for the body bit (his heel) that did not enter the water.

Paris, the Trojan Prince, killed him by shooting a poisoned arrow which lodged in his heel - thus the name.

Did not see the incident but that explains where the term comes from.....

I can think of plenty of other body parts I'd consider 'more vulnerable' than my achilles tendon. :D

There's no doubt Cam Smith is a dog player. I don't understand it though, he comes across as a genuine nice guy but turns into a dirty mongrel when it comes to tackling?

I highly doubt it was an intentional tactic.

I, for one hope Smith has a long and successful career (except when he plays for Queensland, in a Maroons jumper I hope he feels nothing but misery).
He is a piece of shit, and wish him nothing but misery, f**ken dog.

Is there any evidence of this act yet?

Seems the biggest pain Cam ever inflicted upon LU resident whingers and bullshit artists is beating there beloved team.

Im a neutral and to watch him play last live last night was a thing of Rugby League beauty, just turned it on when it mattered.

PS I reckon the Titans are going alright to far better than most "know it alls" who game them the spoon at the start of the year.

Why do you need evidence? He's well known for his dog acts. It almost goes without saying. You'd have to be woefully ignorant or not even watch the NRL to think otherwise.

lol what a joke, Smith's knee was nowhere near his ankle.

Looked through all of the pages and am yet to see a a video of Cam Smith doing what the OP said he did. The burden off proof lies with the prosecution and as such Cam Smith is innocent until proven guilty... Ryles on the other hand, 6 weeks.
