That's some career - He's still one of the fittest on the pitch I reckon. Really shows what can be done with the right fitness regime to prolongue a career. Some were saying he was past it when he signed for us, but he certainly showed he didn't come for a holiday.
Was just looking at Mini's stats and realised he is on 399 first grade games.
Internationals - 6 NSW City - 5 NRL - 263 Hull FC - 125

Been a class act, I'd give him another year if he wanted it, but is looking unlikely

Correct, it’s the measure of the guy, outstanding professional, and unbelievable how fit he is, him and Sika, two fabulous outstanding overseas players, their replacements have big boots to fill.

Very disrespectful.
I imagine he'll be hanging his boots up at the end of the year. What a great servant he's been for us, one of our best ever overseas signings, certainly in the Super League era.
He'll leave as one of the 2016 heroes that created history and I hope he can leave on another high.

Fully agree on all counts, him clamping his body round the loose ball on the hooter in 2016 was an unforgettable moment. One of the Wembley Immortals, he will be much missed.
