What a bloke! When the kids get older I’ll show them videos of him never giving up in defence, even if he got just one finger on the back of a jersey he’d never let go. Be like that guy.

 

[Broncapz]

What a true champion. Could have dug in and just collected his pay check like some others.

A true Bronco champion.

 

[bronx89]

Sadly missed. Great bloke. Wish him all the best.

I will never be ok

He’s been my favourite player since he debuted

 

[jarro65]

Legend.

Thanks for all your efforts for the club over the years.

What a true champion. Could have dug in and just collected his pay check like some others.

A true Bronco champion.

He’s still collecting the cheque right?

Wow, what a hard press conference to watch !

A true clubman [emoji106][emoji109]

Good call and he showed he really does give a **** about his club....unlike a few other veterans. I wish nothing but the best for a true warrior.

What a Guy....
When’s Darius’s retirement conference due

Extremely sad but best for him and the club.

Deserved a premiership and the club will definitely look after him.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

That was tough to watch. What a champion bloke.

 

[Sirlee oldman]

Good luck Matt. Terrific player and clubman who will be missed. Loved watching him live. His tackles were so loud it sounded like the ball runner was being smacked by bus.

 

[Kimlo]

Sad :(

This thread really shouldn't turn into another one of these threads. It's not the same situation at all. It's just unnecessary.

For years Gillett was the player I'd least like to run it straight at. He folded people over regularly and just looked like he hurt people. I'd love to see a highlight reel involving some of those tackles. They'd be more difficult to find than the tries or tries he was involved in but it was a major part of his game. Sad day

Sad day for a good man. All the best Gillo.
