There is increased speculation that Melbourne Storm premiership player Brandon Smith will be at a new club in 2022.
Out of contract at the end of next season, Smith played an integral role in the Stormโs 2020 triumph this year, is free to speak to other clubs.
According to The Daily Telegraphโs Matt Logue, Smith will most likely head to Queensland, with the Brisbane Broncos or Gold Coast Titans heavily favoured.
โYou canโt dismiss Brandon Smithโs skill,โ he said on 1170 SEN Mornings on Friday.
โHeโs a terrier, heโs a character off the field as well, and I think that the Broncosโฆ the Gold Coast Titans are interested.
Reports say that the @GCTitans
Will spend the next couple of days deciding if they will make a pay for Brandon Smith.#nrl#rugbyleague— AussieSportsWeeklyPodcast (@WeeklyAusSports) December 8, 2020
โI think Brandon Smith has one more season at the Storm... He wonโt go without a club.โ
The New Zealand International had gathered strong interest from Broncos coach Kevin Walters yesterday.
โHe has been a great player at the Storm and he is a very young player also, so there will be some interest,โ he told media.
โI love his attitude and the way he goes about his work on the field โ he would fit nicely in a Broncos jersey.
โHis character is very strong and heโs a very laid back style of person, but what he does on the field he is very exciting.โ
