The kid is great. He’s gone at the end of the year for sure and certain.

Yep...the only bad thing about how good he is is that he is 'too good'.

Too good to let go.

You build a club around him and Smith, Bellamy and Storm will know that.

They will work out a plan that keeps him active and playing.

Cam Game 1 ...especially if he is retiring

Think Cam wld rather have another $1 mill in the bank by playing next year,and wont wanna jeopardise it..nor wish to tarnish his SOO reputation playing in a weak Qld team
Harry and Cam (at 7)are going to be quite some package if they play together.Wont make Brandon happy tho...

I know one thing his price is rising..

That would be our one play in this.

He is only contracted to the Storm for 2021 I think?

In other words, he can be offered new deals the end of this season for 2022.

We should offer him 700 and see if Melb can get anywhere near that. They may not want him back for 2021 if he is signed elsewhere.

Having said all that, he is QLD kid and all those clubs are bound to go hard after him also.

Whilst I agree, we have Simpkin and by all reports he is pretty good, so it's not all doom and gloom for next year at hooker

2021/2 for the Storm...there is this talk from media/fans that he has a clause to get out if Smith plays on..but nothing has ever been said by player or either Club..

It was interesting when interviewed tonight when asked about Maguire ..his reply was very positive I thought..appreciated the faith coaching and opportunity given here..

Agree a lot of Clubs would be looking to sign him..shows the benefit of not rushing rookies..at 22 he belongs from the get go..

Whose going to take the Queensland number 9 jersey off him? Deadset monster.

Friend
Mahoney
Hunt

Let me tell you something about Mahoney. Harry eats his lunch.
 
Absolutely no hope of keeping him - but I am a fan of the kid for life wherever he ends up.

Ultimate professional who is mature beyond his years. Skilled in so many areas, but also great manager of the game - which I'm sure he has learnt off Cam Smith.

If Brandon wants to kick up a stink and leave the Storm because Grant goes back he can come here no worries. He's an absolute weapon of a player.

He’s better than Grant & Cameron Smith.
Harry Grant is the better fit for the Tigers Brandon Smith for the Storm. Different players suit different teams.

Can Wests Ashfield offer a TPA to Smith to play on next year for the Storm
 
There is no way Bellamy will let Dirty Harry go.

Jesus that kid is the real deal though, he's going to be a star.
 
Simpkin isn't ready. What is he, 18? Grant played two years of QCup before this and no one would have expected him to be as good as he is, even at 22.

Unfair to compare him to Liddle but it's unfair to compare a lot of 9s to Grant atm.

On the ABC Footy Show a couple of weeks ago, it was said that Brandon Smith had been promised the 9 jersey for 2021 if Cameron Smith retires at the end of this year.

Bellamy wants to keep Brandon Smith so hopefully he has made some promises that will make it difficult for him to keep everyone happy.

If I was Bellamy I would put Grant at Hooker, Cam Smith (if he stays) at Halfback, Brandon Smith at Lock and Finucan to Prop. If they had done that this year I think they would be doing much better.

Tigers should pay Cameron Smith a bonus to sign on with Melbourne for another year
That way we are a chance to get Grant permanently

I just saw your post
Great minds think alike
 
Cam Smith is so self absorbed it wouldn't surprise me if he went around again just to fill in a few more lines in the record books. Here's hoping because it's hard to believe that Grant, Brooks and some of those other young forwards that are going so damned well aren't forming bonds of some sort and starting to believe. There's a definite commitment on field which indicates good vibes off field. Fingers crossed.
