I wonder how mucj Brandon Smith's selection as NZ hooker has swung the balance of power?

If it's a choice between Smith and Munster, it's an easy one.

Smith is the most durable player we have ever seen and has never really had injury issues in his entire career.
I never thought I'd see the day where Storm fans would umm and ahh over wanting Smith for an extra year And I say that with an unhealthy man love for his heir apparent.
We sit in hope of these young guns turning into the calibre of player of Cameron Smith... why not take the extra year of the real-deal if it's on offer!? I cannot see a downside to it. I would expect Brandon's game time at hooker to increase and Smith jumping to HB/Second Receiver/Lock at certain times in games. His experience out on the field will be invaluable.
Understand. But there's no reason why a 35 year old can't sign a one year deal and then if he wants to go on, negotiate for another one year deal.yourhero wrote:I do think the Slater example is different.
