Bored this lunchtime so got a few quotes from the Cronulla Board:- (all from August onward)
"Big League reckons he's about to sign a new deal with us. I reckon he's earned it for sure"
"The bloke is all heart. I'd be very happy to see him at the club for as long as he's able"
"Was gold today, his line he ran for the try was a beaut and done with that much pace.
Not scared of a bit of contact either which surprised me. After that busted Jaw I thought it would take a while to get his balls back".
On the news that he's leaving
"Thats a shame. He's still a quality player. I would have moved on some of the others before him."
"Gutted. He was playing well - All the best toops"
"I think we had offered him something but doubt it would have been a two year deal or as lucrative so good on him. Always liked him and though the last few years he was playing really well when not injured. Would have preferred him over some of the other forwards we kept but oh well."
"Bugger"
"Good player and did love his offloads. Always played hard and gave his all!"
"We are going to miss those big strong runs and the offloads. He really provided nice second phase play"
Only negative comments are regarding his age and some feel that they are doing the right thing by bringing in youth.
