Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 2803370, member: 8272"] You’re talking about two different periods in Smith’s career. Smith missed the Queensland Under 17’s team and was noticed by Griffin. He signed with the Storm to play Colts for Norths on $5000. He played in the Colts Grand Final in 2001 against Redcliffe. The rejection Smith talks about was previous to that he was un-noticed from all his time at Brothers. When Smith was about to start playing Colts at Norths his parents met with the Broncos and Bennett. Wayne Smith tells the story of Bennett trying his hardest to influence Cam by asking who he had always supported and who he always wanted to play for. His parents liked the idea of him staying in Brisbane and not moving away- He could play for Norths. Storm were about to punt Swain and Broncos had Priddis which is what Wayne Smith has always said he pointed out to Cam- Wayne is a pretty shrewd operator he played at Easts behind Lang for a lot of years. It’s not dissimilar to Munster; Broncos didn’t offer him anything until the Storm did and then it was too late. Smith was rejected up till 17, so he's right. He was made an offer and rejected it to go to Melbourne so he's right there too. [/QUOTE]
