Biography:

Unparalleled in terms of sheer achievement and longevity, Cameron Smith is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time and an Immortal-in-waiting.

The only man to have played 400 premiership games, Smith was a winner like no other with unmatched smarts and composure at dummy-half.

A tremendous leader, for years he captained Melbourne, Queensland and Australia to glory, filling cabinet after cabinet with silverware.

The two-time Dally M Medallist remained at the peak of his powers even at age 37 as he led the Storm to the 2020 premiership in his 19th top-grade season.

It was a fitting note on which to retire.

Among the left-footed goal-kicker's smorgasbord of records is his claim to being the NRL's top point-scorer (2786 points).
