Cameron Smith may have played his last game for the Melbourne Storm.
Storm part-owner and director Gerry Ryan has indicated that the 37-year-old superstar is likely to call time on his NRL career this off-season.
“Cameron hasn’t come out and said to us. I think he’s holding the meeting at bay,” Ryan said on SEN Track’s Bensley.
“So, no, he’s played his last game at Melbourne and I think he’ll retire.
“He’s had lots of offers to be with us in an advisor capacity. I’m sure the (Brisbane) Broncos would like to see him go back.
“He’s going to live in Queensland. So, what options up there? AFL clubs will chase him down for leadership roles.
“The great man, I think he’s realised it’s time to hang the boots up, and what a great career.”
Asked further if Smith has played his last game with the Storm, Ryan said: “Not that I have a little bet every now and then, I’d put some money on it.”
Smith recently won his third NRL premiership with the Storm when they defeated the Penrith Panthers 26-20 in late October.
