I wish him the best of luck. I spoke to him a couple of times and he was always prepared to listen and totally professional. On the field he was one of my favourite players at Quins. When he moved to Queensland and the matches were being shown on Sky I'd always try and catch them. From what I saw he was doing well.

Once again, best of luck.

Magical player, who seemed to be managing the transition to Union pretty well. Sad for him, particularly given the amount of playing time he's lost recently, but he's a clever bloke, and he'll do well at whatever he tries next.

Just want to send my best wishes to a player for whom the title London Legend would be well and truly deserved! Great player and from a couple of occasions when I got the chance to speak to the man, a truly top bloke! Dunno if anyone else did but I sort of hoped maybe after a couple of years in the toffs game he might have come back to us for one or two seasons but sadly it won't happen.

Remember first seeing him on the pitch at Griffin Park and thinking 'who is this bloke, he looks more like a surfer than a rugby player' but then the first time he got ball in hand, did a skip, sidestepped his marker then did the same to another and made about 40-50 metres I thought this guy could be a bit special! And he was!

Good luck fella, hope to see you back at the Stoop (albeit as a spectator this time)

Sad news, i had hoped he might come back to us after regaining his fitness in union (goodluck with that ) But its sad, he was a immense player for us, remember at the stoop, iirc it was our first game with the digital clock, so he thought it was half time so he kicked the drop goal against wigan, turned out to be the winning drop goal come full time.

A real gentleman of sport and one that I was proud to play for Our Club! I wish Marty every success in whatever he does in the future. I also hoped he may have returned one day.

Loved watching him play and he had a horrible habit of scoring for fun against us....was a very classy player and i wish him well for the future.

A great player. One of the best who played for us. Hope he gets well and enjoys whatever he takes up in his life. All the best mate

Most gifted and consistent player ive seen in a London/Quins shirt.

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!

He was quite ill at the time and wanted to be near His family

Fantastic player and man. Never gave less than 100%, great fun to watch and one of the best i have seen for us and anyone else, would like him back as attack coach!

His sister was a right hottie too.

Really? That's good to know.

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...
