    Brandon Smith may have played his last game for the Storm, with Melbourne shopping the hooker around to several NRL clubs

    Brandon Smith may have played his last game for the Storm, with Melbourne shopping the hooker around to several NRL clubs

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    Smith's deal with the Sydney Roosters for 2023 is expected to be confirmed after his public admiration for the club.

    But his now infamous podcast has left him offside in Melbourne, with the Storm weighing up their options for next season.

    The Storm will reportedly not release Smith unless they are able to arrange a swap deal with a player in return.
