Billy Slater to retire at years end.

[Mr Invisible]

All over the news and social media that Slater will announce his retirement in coming days (most likely tomorrow).

Cameron Smith is also yet to decide on future either. Storm only offeirng him a 1 year contract.

Enter the demise of the Melbourne Storm.

So we could see Slater and Smith retire at years end (fingers crossed).

Hopefully Smith does retire after this season. For many reasons but mainly because he’s only 70 points away from Hazem’s point scoring record!

Thurston won’t catch Hazem. Croker and Maloney are about 700 points away still

Good riddance grub

 

[magdog]

Good..fuck off.

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

Good..fuck off.

The most fitting farewell comment for that grub.

Goat fullback so dangerous but obviously not popular Among fans of the game

Taking bets on Dally M 2018. Get on it!

Please I hope both of them fuck off at seasons end. Maybe the writing is on the wall with Melbourne and they'll get out before the ship starts sinking. Either way, fuck Slater, fuck Smith and fuck Melbourne.

Knowing Smith's huge ego, he will go around another year just to break that record. All I know is, Haz scored those points in much less games than that grub!

Smith might catch him but will never be a better goal kicker. Maloney might catch him. Croker definitely will, but none of them will be better goal kickers because Hazem didn't start being our fulltime kicker until he was 25... meaning he amassed all those points in a shorter time-span than all those guys did. Even JT started kicking when he was 22.

Just because Hazem won't be the highest point scorer within the new few years doesn't mean he wasn't better. Everyone from the current generation is a witness to just how great he was! Had Hazem started kicking when he was say 21-22, he would've eclipsed 3000 points!

Very true. Haz was the first player ever to eclipse 300 points in a single season in 2004 - he ended up scoring 340+ points that season. Haz averaged 7.7 points a game and as you stated he only really started kicking at 25/26 so that number alone is amazing.

Croker has been kicking since he came into the league - he is on track to surpass Haz however the highest scored season for him was 2016 @ 296 points. That was a bad year for Haz lol. As for Smith, that guy will surpass Haz on volume alone. He has never had a 200+ point season lol.

I reckon if Haz came into the league at 19/20 and started kicking straight away, he could have easily cracked 3500 points especially when you consider how badly we used to put points on teams back in the mid 2000's.

He’s a cock but a very good cock at that probably best tactical player ever
