Hope is comes back to the club in some capacity after footy good bloke

 

[Rynostradamus]

Thommo what a legend!

 

[CoreyWaddellSuperFan]

He's a beautiful man. So pleased he finally got to play for his beloved Sea Eagles. Go well young Joel and thanks for your talent, effort, and inspiration!

 

[Ryan]

Wish he'd stay on. We need his sort of character around the other players and team.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

What a furckin legend

 

[lsz]

He is an impressive person - will be missed

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

What an absolute quality human being he is , hope he goes well in Superleague and maybe returns some day in the football department.

 

[manlyfan76]

Outstanding.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Good luck to him. Gonna miss his experience and leadership on the field.

Next year looks like a youth policy taking shape so we have a substantial black hole when it comes to senior players and capable leaders to guide them around. I'm hoping that with Thommo's and AFB's money we can get a BK Ver 2.0 to fill that void.

 

[Shoe1]

That was good

 

[Simonmyers11]

Loved that!

Damn, brought tears to my eyes. Just such a genuine Aussie bloke. The perfect person to come back from St.Helens and slot straight into a guidance councillor role, with the focus on country kids that get overlooked. Help bring them to the big smoke, with plenty of help from Thommo, Beaver, Lyons, and J Lyon. We don’t need this gangster wannabe shiit. Hard working country kids is the future imo.

 

[Bulli Eagle]

What a bloody shame he didnt get to finish the season...wouldve been the best way to celebrate his career with possibly a win

 

[davohan123]

Now that’s how you leave a club AFB.

wonderful tribute and player Joel is.

worthy of putting on and playing in the manly sea eagles jersey.

hope the boys turn up for you on Saturday and we get a win for your farewell game even though you aren’t playing.

 

[globaleagle]

Just watched.

Joel is all class.

Like everyone else, I wish him and his family all the best.

Wish he'd stay on. We need his sort of character around the other players and team.

It's unfortunate that we are losing his aura and mentality ,which is exactly what this immature team needs more of.
We need signings with mental toughness as well as physical toughness.
