We'll miss him. Very much a forward leader who hits hard, runs hard and always puts his body on the line. Had a good career with Canberra, St George and us, starting out in the centres and moving into the pack. Selected in a bunch of NSW Country Origin and Indigenous All Star Teams, never a superstar but remarkably resilient and consistent. You're getting a good player and a good man.
Solid NRL first grader with plenty of ticker and lots of experience. Good leader on and off field. If he is invested in the process he'll be a good signing for you. Doesn't strike me as someone who'll just tread water
You've bagged yourself a good'un. Great man on and off the field.
(Given up drinking too)
Probably past his peak... but knows his role and rips into it. I think he only missed four games for us in total.
St George fans (from where he came from) were sad to see him go.
Won't be going for an easy retirement package.
I doubt anyone here would have a bad word to say about him.

Bring back the.... Biff?
Captain/Coach
he's a very solid player.. good in defense and can hit a hole well. He is great off the field as well. Good signing
Can hear from the man himself!

There is no A.I. Just better computers
I dont know who your second rowers are now, but saints will be better next year with him.
Survived a troubled background to become a real leader, not just at Manly but in NRL, and also in the wider community. May be a future Australian of the year? On field he brings commitment professionalism and toughness. And toughness. Also toughness. Just below top rep level in line-breaking ability but still at the top of his game and he won't be easy for Manly to replace, despite having several promising forwards on the up and up.
Good to have you on here mate. I can’t add anymore than what has been said. Only this. It would be impossible for Joel to treat it as a retirement package. It’s just not in his DNA. As someone mentioned, you won’t find a bad word about him, not just at Manly, but in the entire NRL. He will be a great mentor for your own born and bred youngsters.
Sad to lose him.Can hear from the man himself!

But happy for him and his family.
That would’ve been a tearful call to Nan.
Is a player that joined our club and immediately fit in and became a Manly person. Other players join and even though we can love what they can do on the field for us there still may be some scepticism about the type of person they are. This was never the case with Joel.
You’ve got a winner with this one mate he’s a beauty.
Great player , terrific leader and and an even better person.
As others have said you've got yourself a solid player. Strong in defence, can hit a hole and is a real inspiration and leader among the playing group. I really hope he works out for you as I'm a St Helens fan. I really got into my Rugby League as a 10-12 yr old which coincided with our premiership in '87. So when Michael O'Conner and Paul Vautin had stints at St Helens around that time and with Kevin Ward coming to Manly, I became a St Helens fan by default.
