The ABC is reporting the happy news that $1.5 million has been enough to keep dynamo flanker George Smith in Canberra for enough three years.
The next three years will be an important time in my career and I’m very happy that I’ll be spending those years at the Brumbies. At the end of the day the Brumbies is where I wanted to stay, and the deal was fantastic for myself.
I’m guessing this should help with retaining other players, if just so they don’t have to face him.
