| As a rugby league fan I would just like to thank Gary Broadbent for his great services to the sport
he has been the model player and an example to all,bringing great credit to our sport
it was a privelege to be present to witness his last game - the last act of the game was to allow him to kick the final conversion in the last minute in the sunshine of Toulouse
a fitting end to a distinguished career
Thanks for the memories Gary and enjoy your retirement  |

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

Superb servant to the game - hopefully the sport will find a way to use his experience and now how

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Top player in the lower leagues , and always took the " Broadbent you're S..T " comments with a smile and in the context they were meant , enjoy your retirement |

Echo the above. GB has been one of the best servants to the game that I've known. Tough as old boots too.

| Wow.
Salford Signed Gary Broadbent from Widnes 1997 for ( still a club record ) £55,000
he went on to play 140+ games for the reds , warranting his inclusion in '100 Salford Greats' .
Always a rock in defence Gary was the bravest Fullback I've ever seen , always putting his body on the line game after game , the fact that he has gone on to play on for almost a decade after leaving the Reds , putting in sterling service for Whitehaven and 76 games for his hometown Club is a testimony to his ability to all his Clubs .
Gary Always got a great ovation from the Willows faithfull on his returns so if you're free next Sunday Gary come down and give the old girl one final goodbye .
Well played, a true RL great |

interesting stuff - the Toulous game was his 464th senior game which is some going in such a tough sport
surely this guy epitomises the true meaning of a RL player - honest,brave,hardworking & loyal ? that is to say,everything a fan wants to see from one of his or her players ?
