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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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