Gold Coast Titans fullback Preston Campbell will give himself a fortnight to decide as to whether or not he will stay in the NRL and play on with the Titans in 2011.
Campbell, who is perhaps one of the best players in the NRL to have not played in an Origin game, was left shattered last night after the Titans heart-wrenching capitulation to the Roosters.
The departure of fellow friend and veteran Mat Rogers, is expected to influence Campbell’s final decision heavily.
“Yes, that’s something I have to think about,” Campbell conceded.
The 2003 premiership winner revealed earlier in the week that had the Titans won the grand final, he then would have retired, but now the decision as to whether or not he will play on for a 14th season remains to be seen.
“I don’t know,” he said. “It’s one of those things, I don’t really feel that satisfied but my body’s telling me it’s probably time to pull up.
“It’s something I’d like to involve the whole family in. We’ll sit down and talk about it in the next week or two and come up with a decision.
“I think it’s only fair to let Carty (coach John Cartwright) know as soon as possible.
“(The senior players) assured me they would love to have me around as well, and that’s a good feeling.
“But I have to think about my body. I’d like to be able to run around with my young bloke when he gets a bit older.”
