OFFICIAL Corey Oates Announces Retirement

[heartly87]

Oates gone, true shame but we all knew it was coming sooner than later. A great club man, a guy who did everything in the game but win a GF and never changed. He stayed true to his values, was kind to kids and always had time for fans. All modern players could learn a thing or two from a guy like Corey. He will be forever remembered for it and his ability on the field in the Broncos jersey. Enjoy your retirement Corey it's well earned.

When you watch that clip its amazing after how they finished with us just how good Milf and Boyd actually were at their best.

Some nice combos there shown too with Reed and Gillett

I am sad, mainly because he is the last Bronco player in the team, that my Dad knew, when he was alive.

He never saw the others play.

Oates had a fair bit of toe in his younger days forgot how quick he actually was when he got going

I always likened oates to a semi truck without the trailers. Had a big engine that could get a good top speed and bull doze shit, but shit acceleration and terrible turning circle.

I just finished watching the clip and thought to myself how elite was Milford and Boyd's passing game compared to mams and Walsh...and how fast and an absolute handful Oates was even in his teens ..we don't have a big boned gazelle on our radar ...we should

The whole video made me sad. He was so much faster until recently, and the loss of Reed/Gillett on his side needs to be studied as to its impact on Brisbane (immense losses)

How good was it when Ray Stone pushes him in the back after scoring and Oates just looks back at him with a disappointed look. "Maaate", shaking his head.

Reed & Gillett were the opposite of the players we have recently gone for. Gangly, unorthadox, but pure footballers. And zero ego.

Best part was, he never had any arrogance. Just scored the try's without showing off.

And never didn’t try. Both had their share of ordinary games sure, but they never gave up.

I don’t see Riki or Piakura picking a loose ball up 5m from our line and running 95m to score when we’re already up by 20


I miss Gillo again (and still)
