Cameron Smith is set to become the first NRL player to reach 400 games after signing a two-year extension with Melbourne Storm on Wednesday. The former Test and Origin captain is just 16 games short of the magical milestone that seemed unattainable not that long ago. But Smith, who turns 36 in June, has been drinking from the fountain of
youth his entire career, suffering few injuries. Re-signing with the Storm, where he is also club captain, means he's about to enter his 18th season of first grade - all played in the now famous purple jersey. His commanding presence will be strongly welcomed by Storm fans as they have farewelled three other 300-gamers in the past two seasons in Cooper Cronk (Roosters), Ryan Hoffman and Billy Slater (both retired).
