That guy was so quick. What happened to him? Did he retire after his contract ended with manly?

He was quick for a prop but he used to always slow up before contact. If Nathan Brown had Brenton's speed it would be worth the admission fee to watch his charges alone.

I could be wrong but I think a back injury forced his retirement

I think you're right, I remember something like that now you mentioned it.

From memory, he was let go by Manly and returned to the Gold Coast Titans but never played FG for them in his second stint.

He was largely ineffective towards the end of his time at Manly. There were a couple of good seasons where his leg speed was effective but I always think of his time at Manly as the beginning of the end. We had Kite and King and Gifty and Watmough and then slowly that side morphed into Lawrence, Starling, Horo, and Symonds…not so good 😞
