Still not a fan of who is wearing that number 5 but I've enjoyed his play this year. Love Cam anyway. he'll play hooker though. Craig said in media conference last night Cam hates it.

[Mattpoet]

The side will probably change, we only played last night, they wouldn't have it worked out yet.

[Christabella]

I realise that he will slip in at hooker throughout the match but I've got to say it looks weird to see Cam Smith in a number other than 9.
I feel like I need to turn the team list upside down.

The only other number Cam has worn is #7 (I think) when he was named and started at halfback in 2002 and 2010. He's played a number of games on the bench but I can't remember him wearing #14, 15, 16 or 17. He had played five-eighth before Monday night, that was when he was just reshuffled there wearing his usual #9 in early 2009 just before Finchy came to the club.

I think this will stay the same until Billy gets back, Widdop was terrific filling in at fullback.

[storm boy !]

cam permanent switch to 5/8? Hahahah don't think so

Whoever wrote that should not be calling themselves a rugby league "journalist".

Hopefully yhis hack is just a freelancer but gets caught up in the great downsizing that is happening at News and Fairfax.

Git.

I was wrong, Cam actually wore #18 in his FG debut in Round 5, 2002, playing halfback. That is the only other number (apart from #7 & #9) he has worn according to Rugby League Project.

A little surprised at that. would've thought he'd have been named on the bench a few times in '02

Nah, he only came into the side to play halfback in 2002 due to injuries.

Orford got injured. I think Marty Turner came in as 2nd choice halfback but then he was hurt in a car crash on a surfing trip to Torquay so Cam was a late inclusion in that side, then Orford returned from injury.

I remember about the car accident coz I heard about it after I'd visited my brother in law in the same hospital that night. Had I heard the news earlier I'd have visited the Storm boys as well. Marty have a series of injuries from the crash, a few broken ribs, ruptured spleen, etc. Another Storm player was in the car as well, I forget who, he just had a few scratches and bruises.

It was Michael Russo. He could have been a great back rower for us had his NRL career worked out. Played a total of 9 Storm/NRL games in 2002 and then just disappeared into the rugby league wilderness.

[mattstormy]

Continuing my post above, Michael Russo also won the Storm's 2002 Rookie of the Year Award.

[Surandy]

Ahh, thanks Mattstormy. I always get them mixed up.

[Lucas]

Yeah what happened to Mick Russo? Thought he was set for big things with us.
