His book should be a good read!

It certainly will. Can't wait. Mainly about his Hull career but also his time at Wests.

We never saw him at his peak, because that was at Wests , when he was the best second rower in the NRL, a respected and revered player on both sides of the world, throughout the game. What we got though, in terms of leadership and captaincy can never be truly measured. A man who left nothing on the pitch and who gained his place among the truly great players, who have graced our famous shirt, right up there with Norton, Sullivan, Topliss and the like. We can truly say we have been blessed with some great players, at our club and he is shoulder to shoulder with any one of them. Legend, immortal and one of the most humble players I have ever spoken to, always had time for fans and never once did I see him otherwise.

I could never understand what his contribution to the team was - other than that when he was on the pitch the performance of every other player seemed to go up by 5 or 10%. An exceptional leader.

Tony Smith likes to be surrounded by 'yes men' Gaz Ellis isnt a yes man so he had to go,

Let Ellis present the match ball before the game so we can really show our appreciation for what he's done for us.

Prbabky be a better idea to give him a game.

Don't leave our appreciation until after the game because most of us would have fecked off early after another dire performance

Fantastic to meet the man today and spend a few minutes chatting to him. Wish him all the very best in whatever he does next.

I told you all

No Johnny Whiteley?
