Biography
Former Brisbane halfback (Logan Brothers) joined the Storm in 2002 and quickly found success when he switched to the hooker role. Smith was rushed into the Queensland State of Origin team in 2003 after injuries to PJ Marsh and Mick Crocker in the first two matches of the series. The following year he was the Maroons’ No.1 choice as hooker and even if his goal-kicking let him down during the series, his dummy-half work and great defence around the rucks was a highlight of a series dominated by NSW. At club level Smith was a capable back-up goal-kicker to Matt Orford and took over that role following Orford’s departure from the club in 2006. That year Smith played an important role in Queensland’s State of Origin success, won the ‘Dally M’ Player of the Year award and led the Storm into the grand final against Brisbane. Despite Melbourne’s loss to the Broncos Smith finished a marvellous season when he was selected for Australia and played in all five Tests of the triumphant Tri-Nations series.

Complete player, best of the best year in year out, MELBOURNE QLD MAROONS
10/07/2017
Future Immortal, when he retires he will have played more minutes of the game then anyone else in history. And st Hooker which is astounding with the added extras of both goal kicking and captaining the at Club,State,National level. The most football educated player to ever lace a boot.
10/09/2017
The greatest to ever play the game

As a Queensland supporter I hope Cameron plays on for another two years which should give him ample time to eclipse the current number 1 spot for most points scored in NRL. I love it how many people hate Cameron (because he is a Queenslander and brilliant player) only to love him when he plays for his country. Keep the Cameron show rolling for a bit longer please.

A bloody legend of a player. Always the smartest man on the field. Cheers smithy! you should be immortalized
07/10/2017

His standards and behavior with respect to his sport off and on the field is in my opinion equal to the anybody else. As a hooker he is without doubt the best I have seen in my 50 years of watching the game. Good luck to him as he has earned every accolade he gets.
31/05/2018
He has won more games than most players have played he is awesome
29/07/2018
he would have to be the G.O.A.T.greatest of all time.
24/08/2018
Arguably the best ever
05/10/2018
Cameron is classy but I think Jt and a few other players (Andrew Johns ) are better than them as Cameron has always been in a stronger side
11/03/2019
Best player of his generation, top 5 player of all time and the best hooker ever.
03/04/2019
Great vision as a player, would have been interesting if he had stayed as a half back, the heavy defence in the middle does not seem to have slowed him down at all !
19/04/2019
Without doubt the most complete League player of all time, its not just what he does on the ball but when he does it. No effort is wasted, he will stroll into the play if that is what is needed.
A true heads up player, makes things happen. Guides the team around the park, imbuing with that sense of calm that he has in the most crucial of moments.
26/05/2019
Great leader and brilliant career.
04/07/2019
Always enjoy watching him play. A classy and smart player. Tonight this is his 399th game. Next week will be legendary!,
14/07/2019
Hated the maroons and storms. As he played/ plays for both the teams, I have always dreaded him as a player. But his playing ability, leadership skills on field and his hard work ethic cannot be doubted to anyone. Arguably the greatest man to have ever played the game. Congrats on getting to 400.
14/07/2019
Give the man the immortal name before he retires, as he is the GOAT
15/07/2019
400 NRL games, 2500 points... the GOAT
01/08/2019
400 games, 2500 points, premierships, Origin, World Cups... simply the GOAT!
27/07/2020
Greatest Player of all time, even better than me.
31/08/2020
It’s quite remarkable that he has played at a high level consistently for so long!
03/10/2020
Durable, reliable and high quality player with a great brain for the game. But GOAT? Not by a long way. Durability is not the defining quality of a GOAT.
26/10/2020
Most overrated player he has nothing on Robbie farah bar his goal kicking his highlights reel is speeches
26/10/2020

08/11/2022
