Smith could consider retiring with NRL win

Cameron Smith has hinted he would consider retiring alongside teammate Billy Slater if Melbourne win next week's NRL grand final.

With Melbourne's 22‑6 preliminary final win over Cronulla last night, the rugby league Immortal‑in‑waiting admitted retirement wasn't out of the question with a fifth grand final win next Sunday.

Quizzed on whether he was serious about his stance Smith said he still intended on playing on in 2019 but wouldn't rule out changing his mind.

Reports also emerged this week he was close to finalising a deal with the Storm for next year that would likely see him become the first player to reach the 400‑game mark.

The Roosters will face the Rabbitohs at 9.40 tonight in the second NRL Preliminary Final.
