Legendary duo Smith and Thurston earn Queen's Birthday honours

The journalists are spreading it about with a front end loader....
“I am very humbled to receive such a prestigious honour,” Smith said. “It’s been a wonderful privilege to play for Australia, Queensland and Melbourne Storm for so many years and to be part of such a great team sport as rugby league.

“You don’t get to enjoy the success I’ve had without being surrounded by great players, coaches and training staff and I owe them so much.”

Melbourne Storm chief executive Dave Donaghy said Smith’s contribution went beyond his on-field achievements.

“Cameron’s contribution to, and influence on, the sport of rugby league extends further than the statistics,” Donaghy said.

“Cameron’s character and leadership qualities are exemplified by his commitment to the Melbourne Storm as a one-club player and his contribution to growing the game in Victoria will long be remembered.

“He has contributed countless hours at community events and appearances at junior rugby league clubs to inspire the next generation of rugby league players in a state without historical connections to the game.”
