Cam Smith's "multiple threads- only one declared"

[Highflier]

is Yvonne Sampson-Smith standing by her man in his time of need on this momentous occasion ?

You have to give it to him playing 42 games.

Kevin Walters has a massive task ahead of him.

Greg Inglis or Slater to be QLD captain.

 

[Fluffy]

all this to spite Greenberg for allowing them to charge him

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Wow, didn't see that coming. Just deserting a sinking ship?
Opens the door for DCE a little more, I guess.

Reeks of him looking ahead and realizing QLD are looking shaky and taking an easy option

Cop out IMO

Grub Smith retires from origin oxygen.Fixed.

 

[pt73]

Probably a hissy fit come about from the refs no longer licking his ass....

The timing is very suss considering he's just been suspended for another grub act that finally got caught.

Interestingly a few years ago when Qld started to dominate guys like Tallis were critising Jamie Lyon etc for retiring from rep football. They said that was the difference between nsw and qld. Queenslanders always made themselves available no matter what. Haven’t things changed now that the writing is on the wall..

Good riddance

 

[Harvies elbow]

I think the end is nigh for the sCamster.
Then we'll have to pay tribute to the c*ckhead for the next 40 years.

This was the first thing I thought.

He is having a cry cause he got suspended for the first time in years.

 

[Seagalatos]

NSW 40 - 0

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

So who gets the opportunity to play 9 - Jake Friend, Granville, other ?

My son told me that posts on Reddit say that he confided in an ex-player around 6 months ago that he should have retired at the end of last year.

Who knows .........

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Good time to announce to deflect media attention from wishbone tackle. Scum isn't used to negative media. God forbid he copped the same media scrutiny our players face. He would have retired years ago.

 

[Andrew..]

Smith has always had that bit of dirty niggle in his game but I reckon it's gotten worse because time has caught up with him and he's frustrated with not being able to play at the same level anymore.
I can't help but smile at the thought of Melbourne becoming a mediocre team especially as it's only a matter of time now for Billy.

 

[Roger]

Bit surprised this close to Origin but think he can see the tide is eventually turning and doesnt want to tarnish his reputation so will retire now instead of retiring in a losing team, selfish?

The door is as wide open as it can go. Cronk, Smith and JT all gone. He doesn’t get picked because they are still dirty about the backflip.
