Melbourne Storm’s premier player Brandon Smith is scheduled to start making offers from competing clubs from 2022.
The New Zealand international originally came to the storm as a hooker but was forced into the role of a center forward with Cameron Smith continuing to perform at a high level.
Many assumed the 24-year-old would switch to the hooker after Smith’s career was decided, but Harry Grant’s appearance last season ensured the Kiwi would be number nine again at the club.
Michael Carayannis explained at the 1170 SEN Breakfast how the decision was based on wanting to return to one’s natural position.
« He will see the storm in 2021 and then explore his options for 2022, » Carayannis said.
« He has spent some time behind Cameron Smith now and in this middle role and has exceeded all expectations as he is not a normal striker. « .
« When Harry Grant returns to the club, Brandon Smith wants to look elsewhere. It’s a similar situation to Josh Addo-Carr. ”
Although Andrew Voss wants to play hooker, he thinks the Kiwi is better suited as a striker.
« But he wants to play hooker. If that’s what he wants in his head, that’s what he has to do. « . ”
Smith will be signed until 2021 and the Storm will again have to manage a star player who knows he has a chance to leave the club at the end of the season.
