“It felt like the right time to finish on the back of what was a very successful season. You couldn’t ask for more than finishing with a premiership. “I had to wrestle with that decision because that’s what made it most difficult. At the end of last year, winning the premiership, I still felt good within myself physically and mentally and felt my form was still good enough to play in the NRL.

“This is where I wanted to officially end it as well. And I had the opportunity to stand next to my good friend Billy too when I announced it.”

Cameron Smith finally announces retirement from NRLBREAKING: Cameron Smith has officially announced his retirement from rugby league after months of speculation about his future. It must have been the worst kept secret in the NRL. Fans knew he wouldn't be back once he purchased a house & enrolled his children in school in QLD last year during Covid lock down & then won the Grand final. I just wondered why he took so long to announce it?
