    A downcast reaction from Brandon Smith after admitting he's probably played his last game for the Roosters in the NRL

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    The Kiwis hooker is reportedly set for an immediate release to rival Sydney club the Rabbitohs - who he's already signed with for 2026 and 27 - as he nears a return from a serious knee injury.

    After news of the early-than-planned shift from Bondi to Redfern broke yesterday - Smith says he got a call from Roosters coach Trent Robinson.

    The 2020 Premiership winner then appeared on The Bye Round podcast and was asked if his time in the tricolours jumper was over.
