Cameron Smith Best Ever Hooker

Australia's Cameron Smith has been selected as the best ever international rugby league hooker. Fans around the world have considered all the options and narrowed an impressive and long list of candidates down to a final four which consisted of Smith, his Aussie compatriots, Noel (Ned) Kelly and Steve Walters and England's Joe Egan.

There was a great deal of discussion about how do you compare players in a position that has changed so much over the years, however, Cameron Smith emerged as a clear favourite for his mastery across so many areas on the game. He has 56 caps for Australia, almost 3000 career points scored, two Golden Boots, and been a World Cup-winning captain in both 2013 and 2017.
