That's a surprise and a disappointment that he wont be around next season.

Good luck Ju Ju ...thanks for all your efforts for London RL.

Very sad news, we have looked a better side when he has been on the pitch. But good luck to him in the future and hope he enjoys whatever he chooses to do next.

Going forward, wonder what hookers are available?

Phil Bailey might have his work cut out.

Shame to see him retire. A great servant for our clubs, creative and a master of the scoot from the dummy half position. All the best Julian, you are class.

As others have said, a real shame to see him retiring. I thought he'd looked really good this season, especially after he came back from the injury he sustained against Catalans at Easter. We certainly looked a better team with him on the pitch. Good luck Julien, Mrs fron Erith will be gutted!

This has come as a surprise, prior to this season I was not always convinced with Julien but he has been really on top of his game and has often made the difference when he has appeared on the pitch in the last few games. Wish him every success, now the search is on!

He's gone better than I expected him to on his return. In any case, a great servant of the club.

Without wanting to take any attention from JuJu's announcement, can we move for the out of favour Andy Ellis?

We've speculated on Murrell. Average as he is, I can this happening now.

Yes please to having Ellis back!

Bah. Will have to find a new pantomime villiain for future derbies

Andy Ellis would be a good replacement!

Very disappointing news. Really can't see Ellis coming back at any point either unfortunately. Rinaldi has been superb coming off the bench especially.

Have we ever produced a decent hooker? Any coming through? Please don't suggest Sam Bolger!

Sorry to see Ju Ju go, but hey, at 33 he was not going to be around for much longer and injuries take their toll as you get older. It wouldn`t be fair on anyone if he had long spells out of action, so you have to respect his decision to call time on on his playing days. Thanks for your efforts at the Quins/Broncos and good luck for the future fella .

As others have said, he has been good for us this year and injected some spark whenever he played.

Genuinely saddened by this news. He's been great for the club and a gentleman off the pitch. I shall miss him.

Cant argue with that.
All the best Ju Ju

This retirement thing looks like its catching on. Howell, OCallaghan, Witt, Randall, Golden to follow ????

Karl / Julien thanks for your great effort over the years.
