Retired Melbourne Storm legend Billy Slater has revealed that he has spoken to good mate Cameron Smith’s impending retirement and whether it will come after this Sunday’s grand final.

“Yeah I am good mates with him and he is such a humble guy that he genuinely doesn’t know whether he wants to retire just yet,” Slater said on The Big Sports Breakfast.

“You’re a long time retired and once your body goes it goes… so there is no having a year off and then changing your mind.

“I have had those conversations with Cam and it is a really tough decision for him because he is getting to the age where he knows it is coming to an end but is this year the last one? I’m not too sure.”
