Ah, yes, the good old days when we played a competent key forward in our forward-line.

I've never seen so much fuss about a players retirement. I'm putting it down to the strange time of year to call it.

So much penis grabbing going on here. Yeah, he was a good player and he had a great career, but he's nowhere near the greatest defender of all time.

And it's possible that he's just not up to it anymore. He is over 30.

Anyway, good luck to him. But please dont knock on my door and push religion onto me.

He was lucky to play mostly in an era when there weren’t great power forwards (except, of course, for every time that Travis Cloke made him look like an uncoordinated spud).

Rumours going around. Not a rumour, he has split with his wife, rumour is, that he may have been ploughing a teammate's field.
Get back on top.
