[Alec]

I thought Pat Richards was going to the NFL as a kicker or something?

 

[Big Pete]

Kevin Gordon announces his retirement at age 25.

Gordon was struggling to get consistent game-time at the Titans and has decided to move on from the sport.

 

[Unbreakable]

Strange, thought he was a pretty good player when he was fully fit.. Probably could've got a gig at another club, or at least a couple of years in England to make some bank.

 

[broncos4life]

He is unique, I'll give him that much

 

[Black Philip]

I thought Kurt Gidley was retiring. Poor Warrington.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Tipping to see Peter Wallace's name on that ESL list before too long.

Ben Barba will be on it year after next.

 

[Broncoman]

I thought Kurt Gidley was retiring. Poor Warrington.

On the topic of Gidley can anyone think of a more blizzare player to play 12 tests? If he played only a few I could live with it but I just find out bullshit he played that many.

Wow, that's somewhat of a surprise.

There was a bit of hype around him a few years ago.

Robbie Farah is close

Remember when he captained his state from the bench?
