But Smith can't ever top that time he blamed Mckinnon for damaging his own spine. It makes me sad because I know they'll rush the cockhead into a media role when he retires.
This is what Smith said.
This is the full text version of the exchange:
Sutton: “I understand your point, but he’s lifted and it’s into a dangerous position. It’s a penalty.”
Smith: “Here’s the thing, right. We’ve had two lifting tackles against us. Our boys have been put in more dangerous positions than that. We can’t help when he ducks his head into the ground. It’s unfortunate and I don’t want to see that happen in any time in our game. If he doesn’t duck his head, that doesn’t happen.”
Sutton: “I understand what you’re saying, mate ...”
Sjmith: “How can you penalise that?”
Sutton: “But it’s lifted ...”
Smith: “So if anyone ducks their head in the ground from now on (inaudible) ...”
Sutton: “Cameron, he goes into a dangerous position. The tackle’s on report.”
Smith: “I understand that but it’s not if he doesn’t duck his head.”
McKinnon hit out at Smith in an interview on
60 Minutes on Sunday, prompting Smith to decide against cooperating with Channel Nine during Origin week.

Radio station Triple M revealed on Wednesday that
60 Minutes aired an edited version of the exchange between Smith and Sutton that omitted the Storm captain stating: “It’s unfortunate and I don’t want see that happen any time in our game.”
In addition, Triple M stated: “Alex is also led to believe Cameron has been arguing with the ref throughout the eight minutes he’s been on the field. However ... Cameron Smith does not, in fact, talk to the referee until Alex McKinnon has left the field.”
