I thought he went to the Sharks after his time at the Storm and I thought he played first grade for the Sharks but according to Rugby League Project he didn't.

He played Junior Kangaroos (Australian Schoolboys) in 2001 or 2002.
I have an idea he might have been captain.

Plenty of potential but it didn't quite work out for him unfortunately.


Found it. 2001.
The year before Ryan Hoffman and the same year as....

....Brian Norrie! Bet you didn't know he was an Australian schoolboy too. :-D

If I recall correctly, because I remember thinking "WTF did I hear that right", it was Coops who first mentioned Smithy moving to 5/8 permanently during his post-game interview on Monday night.

But I can't see it happening. He'd be great, and we'd probably be able to stretch out his career a bit too.
What then happens to Widdop? What a waste to leave such a talent waiting for Billy to break down.

Unless there's likely to be a problem renewing Widdop's contract when it expires I reckon the best hooker in the world will remain at no.9 and the best fullback in the world will remain at no.1

I think it is just the Bulldogs running an open training session, the Storm are hosting a dinner on Saturday night.

Found just what I was looking for on a local radio station website
"Dogs and Storm - Open training sessions 


More news is through about the Dogs and the Storm

Doggies get into town on Saturday and have an open training session at Virgin Australia Stadium around 3p Saturday.

Melbourne Storm are getting here on Friday and have an open session at VAS around 10am Saturday, Craig Bellamy is coming up Thursday from what we hear.

It's expected to be a sell-out from around midday Wednesday" < Awsome never to an open training session do you get to have a chat with the players?

Considering the Easts Tigers are also playing in Mackay it would make sense for Kenny B or Mitch Garbutt to be on standby for Sika.

What changes should we expect at 1pm tomorrow when official teams come thru. Sika may be out. Who do we think comes in/ who do we want to see come in ?
