[Resurrected] The end of Scam Smith???

[davohan123]

Good riddance

He is the biggest w$$$$r I know in league.

Never liked the bloke and will always be a cheat in my eyes.

Imagine vonnie on fox this weekend or channel 9 tomorrow night on there coverage makes me feel sick to think the tribute Smith will get.

‘The right time to finish’: Storm great Smith retires from rugby league

Cameron Smith stood between the two grounds where he made his name at Melbourne Storm and next to his great mate Billy Slater. There was no more fitting place to announce his retirement from rugby league.

Who just retired ?
Cam who ?

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Brilliant news! Let's see how the storm go without sCam. No more do we have to put up with his **** eating grin 🙂

 

[globaleagle]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

WOOHOO!!!!

"The NRL says goodbye to one of its most influential referees today with the announcement of sCam smiths retirement" - Only 4 years after his testimonial game.



I'm even prepared to put up with the inevitable love fest / claims of being the goat / and calls to induct him as an immortal straight away as it now means I don't have to see him run around in the nrl anymore.

Cam Smith will be the 2nd virus to become irrelevant this year.

I think I speak for everybody who has ever loved the game of rugby league when I say, "Thank **** for that." And yeah, he was a great player. But an even greater tool.

Good riddance

Stain on the game

Ding Dong the wicked witch is dead!!!

So his testimonial year wasn't his real retirement year.

It's this year.

So two celebrations for the one action.

Kinda like 2 contracts for the one playing year I guess.

Seems on point.

Only time I saw him live at the ground was round 1 at Brookie several years ago. I was left thinking, ah, so that's why he's rated so highly. Won the game for Storm and was a class above everyone else.
As for being so despised, he hasn't helped himself with certain of his choices/antics, which I don't need to rehash now. Nevertheless it is also true that dominant sportspeople often polarise, they're a threat to your own team's success. Not to mention that being totally hard-nosed and single-minded was probably a key part of them scaling the heights. I've heard criticism of the likes of Fulton and Don Bradman, not as players but for some of their personal interactions

Very true, often the most elite sportsmen are not very well-liked because their determination to win at all costs & focus (the very qualities that make them elite instead of just a good athlete) rubs a lot of people up the wrong way.

They should have made it with him applying a choke hold, then everyone would know who it is 😉

As usual, its all about Scam. I think Drizzle have moved on and really for what its worth. Scam you might be a great of the game, hold endless records etc but you will NEVER be considered or remembered as a sporting idol, due to your win at all costs and bend ever rule to achieve your success. You spent most of your career as a protected specials and you are easily the most controversial figure in the game over the last decade or so.

BTW the game is actually bigger than you will ever be!!

He's a show pony, he just wants to make himself the centrepiece of the new season, I'll be glad to see the back of him but I expect Fox or nine have already offered buckets full of dollars to add his sickening voice to their call, if so I'll be watching the games with the sound down the radio on

Scam will be remembered for some dark things in the game like him signing 2 contracts a decade or so ago, his complete denial of their cheating and what it did to the game at the time. The day he said to a referee that if a certain player ducks he doesnt get hurt and the player ends up a paraplegic and when the outrage of the football world turned on him, he and his cronies turned it into him being the victim.

One thing about Scam, you either love him or not. I respect his playing achievements and I remember the damage he also did to the game!
