    QUEENSLAND

    QUEENSLAND and Kangaroos captain Cameron Smith will today drop a representative rugby league bombshell by announcing he is finished playing for the Maroons and Australia, effective immediately.
    A press conference has been called with Smith and Queensland coach Kevin Walters at 1pm in Melbourne where the announcement will be made.

    The bombshell announcement will leave the Maroons with a huge void to fill in a position Smith has made his own since 2003.

    The champion no.9 will be celebrated as one of the greatest big-match players the game has seen and the greatest hooker of all time.

    Smith stands head to head with the giants of State of Origin, notching up seven man of the match awards for Queensland. The legendary Wally Lewis won the honour eight times.

    The underlying theme of Smith’s entire career is he is a winner.

    Two premierships with Melbourne Storm, 11 of the last 12 State of Origin series with Queensland and two World Cups with the Kangaroos.

    Smith’s rep career achievements

    42 Origins (Record)
    26 wins (Record)
    21 games as captain (3rd behind Lewis 30, Lockyer 22)

    5 Tries
    1566 tackles – more than 700 more than second placed Gary Larson
    Has touched the ball almost 2200 times more than any other player at Origin level.

    49 Wins
    33 as Captain (2nd Behind Lockyer 38)
    9 Tries
    67 goals
    170 points
    Captained Australia to the 2013 and 2017 World Cups and the 2016 Four Nations

    Shocked. But I guess it is time for Maroon renewal. And we can do it. Be even sweeter if the Blues get their hopes up.
