Love how 'Chammas said [blah] then leads to an SMH article.
Next up... listening to the Jam and Cheese show and see how Cheese responds to Graham allowing Chammas on his show. Why exactly would Graham...? Oh forget it.

Roosters not expected to extend Brandon Smith's contract beyond 2025
No real surprise to see this from the SMH.
SMITH’S ROOSTERS DEADLINE
Brandon Smith’s time at the Roosters could be coming to an end, with Tricolours powerbrokers reportedly unlikely to extend his stay beyond 2025.
That is according to the SMH’s Michael Chammas, who revealed the club could “move in a different direction” ahead of the 2026 season.
Smith joined the Tricolours ahead of their 2023 campaign, but had a turbulent start to life under Trent Robinson, struggling with injuries and consistency.
Smith’s reportedly earning around $850,000 per-season on his current deal, but could be on the lookout for a new club.
“I don’t see him at the Roosters beyond next year. I think they are making plans for life without Brandon Smith,” Chammas said on James Graham’s The Bye Round podcast.
“I hear he’s in a good head space, and they’re happy the way he finished the year.
“But all the mail I’ve been getting out of the Roosters is that next year will be his final year at the club, and they’ll move into a different direction.”
The move comes after news emerged Terrell May was also free to depart the club with immediate effect, being granted permission to negotiate with rivals.
The Roosters have already lost the likes of Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Luke Keary, Joseph Suaalii and Joseph Manu ahead of the 2025 season.
