| and probably the best clubman we have had with the Purdo running him pretty close. I hear that he didn't want to go but was not persuaded to stay!

| Hope to see him back at the Stoop one day.I had many a post match chat with him and he was the best example of a club representative this Broncos/Quins outfit has ever seen...and we lost more than just a great player when he went back to Oz..I reckon he was the best we have ever had and I wish him well for the future..As stated before he is a smart cookie and will carve out a niche for himself in whatever career path he follows...

| Queensland Reds had soon realised what a quality player and person they had signed....
QR Reds Head Coach Ewen McKenzie said the news had come as a shock to the team and to McLinden, who had impressed the new coaching staff both on and off the field.
"We certainly viewed Mark as an integral member of the team and valued his leadership qualities and work ethic. In my short period with the team he impressed me with his approach to training and his all round professionalism," McKenzie said.
"However having been through the same type of injury myself I know he's made completely the right decision.
"While this has come completely out of the blue, we do have some fullback options in the squad and the Academy and we'll be examining those first before deciding whether to look further afield.
"In the meantime, our main focus now will be on helping Mark make this adjustment in his life and giving him whatever support he needs in that."

| One of those magical players who had the gift of being able to turn a game single-handed. A top bloke, and one of the funniest people I've ever met.
If you're reading this Marty, thanks again for the memories, and I hope the future brings you everything you deserve.

| Agree with all. Always a shame when players worth the admission are forced to retire early.

And can your sister come?

| I heard from Marty the other day and he seems to have accepted that it was time to quit.He says that he would have liked to have played for the Reds for another year but reckons its time to find something new..He will be over in a year or two and plans to catch up with things at the Stoop, and I quote "I had a ball while I was in London"......

| Marty will forever be a total London RL legend. An outstanding player, and a fantastic bloke as well, who always had time for the fans. Hope he comes back to The Stoop for a visit in the future and is given the welcome he deserves (by club and fans).

| Its always sad to hear when a player has to retire because of injury. Good luck to him in what ever he chooses to do next.
