Sad to see him go. The golden triangle of Dorn, McLinden, and Leuluai going the length of the pitch without ever taking a tackle was a thing of beauty.

Always told it how he saw it , which sometimes didn't make popular with the coach, but didn't make him wrong either.

I think most of the young Quins/Broncos who have ended up elsewhere in SuperLeague will have reasons to be grateful to him too.

How many of our ex-players were tearing Leeds a new one yesterday evening?
I think I counted 5.

I think the club let him down, releasing him to make way for Scott Hill to sign . The true professional he is he came back after a couple of seasons and gave his all. He held no grudge. A great player. A great Bronco!

A champion on and off the field. London Player 440 will no doubt grace the LBSA Hall of Fame, the only way we as fans have of expressing our affection for the guy I think is the shining light in that last great Broncos Brentford side.

Echo those sentiments, I'll always associate him with some of the great matches we played at Griffin Park.






Well f**k my hat, I didn't know that!

Come all without, come all within, we're London Broncos not the H********s!

Best wishes to him in whatever he has planned next.

I saw him play in a game at Aldershot when he was exiled from the first team for reasons rumoured to have nothing to do with his performances. No sulking, he gave 100% and walked the less experienced players around him through the match. A class act.

Agree with all said above, classy player and that last season at GP was a joy.






Sarcasm helps keep you from telling people what you really think of them.
