With Cam Smith retiring, I thought it'd be fun to do a top 10 Storm players. Obviously he's number 1 but it's tough to whittle so many names down to a top 10.
1.Cam Smith
2.Billy Slater
3.Cooper Cronk
4.Ryan Hoffman
5.Jesse Bromwich
6.Robbie Kearns
7.Matt Geyer
8.Greg Inglis
9.Cameron Munster
10.Stephen Kearney

I think MG needs to be further up the list

Chambers is a tough one because honestly, he's not in my best 17. I have King and Inglis in the centres. Undoubtedly a great Storm player but not top 10.
As much as I rate Geyer, who would you push down the list for him?

4. GI for me
Won a Golden Boot and Clive Churchill medal while wearing Storm colours. Never wanted to leave the club but was effectively forced out through salary cap issues. Champion leader both on and off the field.

It's a tough one. On the one hand I think King and GI are undoubtedly better players than chambers. However he played more games for the Storm than those 2 combined.

Chambers also won 3 premierships. He's a tough one to rate.

What about Brett "Noddy" Kimmorley?
He needs to be right up there.
Before the big 3 were even a skerick in people's minds, If there was one player that created the "Storm Culture" it was Noddy.

As great as he was (can't believe he's not in the hall if fame), he only played 79 Storm games, hard to get in the top 10 of such a successful club on that.

What about Craig Smith, possibly the most memorable moment in Storm history.

If you're going that deep, Finucane, Asofa-Solomona, Harris, Nikau, Addo-Carr and Steven Bell are all stiff Sallymay
