1976PMJwires Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 A true professional, was a pleasure to watch the NRL games he played in and wonderful to see him end his career in England. I'm gutted he's retiring, he still looked like a spring chicken chasing back on against Huddersfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 enjoy your retirement steve, great player and a top person.

RSN Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Top player. He's still good enough at SL bit gutted he's retiring. An inspiration to any young RL player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 What a star and ambassador for our game. I hope he stays within it. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Amber Avenger Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 A true professional, was a pleasure to watch the NRL games he played in and wonderful to see him end his career in England. France surely? Unless he is going to round things off with a win at Old Trafford! Can't say much more - great servant for the Bulls, even greater servant to the game. Hope he has a good retirement as he has sure as heck earned it. SQL Honours Play off mini league winner - 2002. Bronze Medalist - 2003. Big Split Group Winner - 2006. Minor Stupidship - 2005, 2006.

Futtocks Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Great Player, I hope he moves into Coaching, he would have a lot to offer.Even if he doesn't fancy being a coach, his vast experience should be used in some sort of mentoring/inspiration role for young players.

MrPosh Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Manly is my bet. It'd be a tough choice. Seriously, his skills have not diminished at all with time and he is still good enough to play in the World Cup.

CGD Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Wow. I remember watching the 2008 Grand Final with a fair few people at a mate's place. None of us were Manly fans, but when Menzies went over for his try, we all got to our feet as one and cheered for him. We were farewelling him from the Australian game, and never did I expect him to play on for another 5 years elsewhere. He never had the skills of a Johns or Lockyer, but his records and longevity put him in a league of his own, separate to more celebrated league greats but proven to be held in very high esteem by everyone. I take off my hat to you, Beaver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
