What's the story with Smith's injury?

Meanwhile, Cameron Smith has been cleared of a serious foot injury after the Melbourne captain pulled up well on Saturday morning.

Smith limped from the field in the 73rd minute of his side’s 30-20 loss to South Sydney at ANZ Stadium on Friday and was immediately treated on the sideline.

Initial fears were that he had suffered an Achilles injury, however that has now been downgraded to a tendon problem in his foot.

He will be monitored during the week, however medical staff are confident the injury is not a serious one and at this stage he won’t require scans.

I can't see how we win this but we do turn up for Storm games.

if only we turned up for Eagles games.

Interesting to see where Dugan plays. Is Lee due back ?

If the Storm decide to rest Cam for this game, (to make sure his ligament niggle is right for the finals or whatever), I think we're in with a good chance.

If he plays I don't like our chances. His kicking game at home is phenomenal, like playing pool on your own table, he knows every inch of that turf.

I don't like our chances against anyone atm tbh. I can't get over how poor our defence is.

No matter how well we play I can’t see us beating them. They should do us over quite easy. Nothing from our form over the last 6 weeks show me we can even be competitive.

no way we fix all our defensive issues in a single week, storm only need to spot 1 weakness and they will exploit it. gotta be near perfect to beat them and we are no where near that. we might manage to put on some late points but this game is storms. only hope is terrible weather to slow the pace down, we beat them last year down there in horrible conditions. Some how we hold the ball better in the wet

Storm 13+ seems on the cards

I can see us fixing our middle defence, but we will still get exposed on the edges.

It’s insane. And when he gets hurt he’s somehow fine for the next week.

The least amount of NRL games he's played in a season is 20, which he did once. Every other year he's played at least 23.

I know they always play finals but he's also missed games due to SOO.

I despise the **** but that is unbelievable.

And this one is away from home which is surely to our advantage.

We like to get dolled up when we go out. When we have guests at our place we don't even bother getting changed out of our pyjamas.

And he's a little guy defending in the middle.

If there’s a better analogy I don’t wanna hear it
