Cameron Smith has moved to shoot down speculation about Jahrome Hughes leaving the Melbourne Storm, revealing there have been no signs from the Storm halfback that he wants out. Broncos great Corey Parker revealed on SEN radio this week that he'd heard 'rumblings' Hughes is looking at moving to a Queensland club to be closer to he and his wife's family. Hughes is under contract with the Storm until the end of 2026, and the club has now reportedly begun negotiations to extend him for another two years. “I’m hearing rumblings that one superstar in the game wants to come home to Queensland and be with the family,” Parker said. “Whether that’s at the end of his contract or not, that remains to be seen. That player is Jahrome Hughes. “I know his wife is from the Gold Coast and at this stage it’s just rumblings that I’m hearing. It remains to be seen if it’s before his term of contract or not, but watch this space. We’ll just see what happens or unfolds in this space moving forward." Hughes has since moved to dismiss the rumours, and Storm legend Smith reckons he hasn't seen any signs the Kiwi halfback wants to leave. “Most times the performance is a dead giveaway on the field and I reckon he’s been one of the best, if not, their best player this year,” Smith said on SEN on Tuesday.
