has retired with immeadiate effect with injury received during cup final

Smailes has just tweeted that Mark has been forced to retire with immediate effect. Shame that the Wembley showing was his last.

Thanks to Mark for his efforts this season. One of the few constant performers in an otherwise average season!

Never want to see a player go out like that, been great for us and will be greatly missed

Had an excellent career, great character on and off the pitch. Will be missed, thanks Ogre!

What a shame to have to go like that. He's been great for us and it's disappointing that he won't get to give us a final showing on Friday, whatever happens at the game.

Thanks for your time here Ogre and all the best for your retirement.

Bad way for him to finish and that's disappointing.

Been great for us - came from NRL at an age when he still had much to offer and certainly gave his all for Hull. Glad he has played for Hull FC best wishes to him.

thanks for all your efforts in the black and white Mark, a good old fashioned forward who never takes a backward step.

Been great for us. All the best for the future!

Shame his career has ended like this, however he's been a great servant to the game.

What he said ^^.

Sorry to see this happen like this - similar to Moa last season.

Gave his all, think this season has been his best, looked fitter than he had the previous 3 years. Hope some of our younger props have taken on board his no nonsense approach to playing - run hard, hit hard

put some big hits in for us ,and never ducked a tackle, good luck in your future ogre....

Sorry to see him go out like this. He's a wholehearted player but people suggesting he's been 'great' for FC are wrong. He's been OK; but a shadow of the player I watched in the NRL.

Good luck for the future.

Maybe some people think he's been great for our young players to be around off the field as an example of how to be a full time player. Maybe some people have a much wider vision than your own when assessing his worth to the club as an overseas signing.

You've not watched us much then? Some of the runs n hits in some of our toughest matches have been great. Don't underestimate the forward game over here. We're behind the Ozzie s in many departments but not forward play. In fact over the yrs there's been a number of oz forwards who've done nothing over here.
Ogres led from the front the whole time. When he makes an error he hits harder to get it back, when the games tough he enjoys it more.
I remember when he had rib cartilage damage n didn't miss a game. For a while he was getting jabbed up just to train. This guy has been great for us. Shame for a lot of the time we couldn't put a better team around him!
