Smith considers retirement..

[Tcat]

@GNR4LIFE Who knows, he may have nothing to do with the NRL at all. He may want to coach for all you know. You are just speculating, as I am. But one things for sure, you don't know what hes going to do any more than me or your mates mate.

Would it matter who was placed in charge of the NRL

Might as well give the job to Politis ......they follow his instructions anyway

Toddy will be the saddest person in Australia if Smith retires

He wants to spend more time on his boat.

Good riddance......I’m just worried he will get involved in running the NRL officially (one day)

Get involved, he has been doing this for years, now he can do it officially

G'day @Tcat: Smiths future is blown up due to something somebody sometime [did yuh like the way I did that] said and nothing more I reckon.

The same with Ryan Matterson, with a million rumours floating around and people gettin all hot and bothered, without any real proof in the puddin :fa-smile-o: .

Why does everyone think Smith will be running the NRL some day? Is he a business person with suitable quals? (laughable I know) or is it something someone said that everyone believes will happen one day? There's a big difference between playing 400+ games / talking in front of camera as opposed to running an organisation. Just wondering I guess.

Well he does have the look of an accountant. Which would already give him more business acumen than the current CEO.

Alot of Haterade being drunk on this thread. I suspect it's absolute pure jealousy.

Nah, I think it is just because he is a grub. Has been a figurehead of the Melbourne storms rewriting of the NRL rules through chicken wings, crushes, wing nuts and whatever dodgy advantage they can get. If the NRL and the referees had actually applied the rules rather than slowly let them get bent year after year, her would be nothing.

He is also a poster boy for salary cap cheating, and somehow tries to play the poor me card.

He got a dodgy 3rd party deal for a testimonial match championed by the NRL despite the fact he was nowhere near retirement. There were no rules at the time, but now there are 100 hoops a club has to jump through to do something similar for one of their players.

His wife got a 15,000 ring, the games administrators fawn over him, and now legitimate questions are being asked, the PR department is in full swing playing the poor Cam card.

As his profile has grown and the leeway he is afforded has become more questionable, he is a poster boy for everything that is corrupt and wrong in the NRL administration.

I can't believe that Reynolds has defended him, but then again these days the players are more loyal to each other and their managers than they are to those that pay their wages.

He won't retire, bet my gonads on it.
