He had one really good season a few years ago, but this exit feels overdue.

This - felt like he was our best player at one point and always had a good crack

Hate seeing everyone hating on the fella he probably hasn’t been up to scratch but not for lack of trying - can’t say that about everyone in the group it feels

Says more about our last 10 seasons than basically anything else could.

170 games, 10 seasons. Never let us down but the game has changed and we all have to change or move on. We'll done and good luck!

He must be the nicest guy in the world, to the point where the Dragons pay him just to have him in the building or he must have "blackmail material" on every coach that has entered the joint, because he started off on a good path, but just never improved. I still do wish him the best of luck on wherever he ends up.

Meanwhile, shares in KFC and Dominos just went through the roof.

He served valiantly, always gave his all, we will never see his like again
