All the best toops. I'll always have respect for him.

That try he scored in this years semi against the Bunnies was all-time

Thanks for the memories and one of our clans favourite players - he got the ultimate wrap from my son who named the family hound after him...

That's what I'm hoping for but we know what flanno is like. Barba is a waste on the bench. Need 4 big boys to to rotate all starting players throughout the game with the exception of Ennis, Graham and possibly Fifita playing the 80.

Mostly agree GUMBY i am not sure about Fafita doing the full Eighty he never looks fit enough and would possibly dampen his ability to bust the line. I believe he is better used off the bench when the other side starts to farigue a bit

I saw a lot of Miller and he was every bit as good as they say he was a tough nut for a back rower ex centre and 5/8 ,but he was a ( dare I say a harmen)

He was also Champion with the ball his ability to offload and put someone through a gap was second to none and often he would end up getting hammered while doing so, he also had a great running game , and a good kicking game and when he hit in defence , the oppo new that had been hit

He was without doubt one of the best we have ever had and was possibly a little under rated.... He was the real deal

I always thought it should have been Gav getting modelling contracts rather than ET.

Gavin Miller was exceptional - top 10 of Sharks players definitely. He did massive things for the club off the field also.

Great club legend.

I've been in the USA for a few weeks mind you I'm still over here, I just decided to check some sharks news for a bit, when I read this I was just devastated! He has been a fantastic player for us over the years, he would have been one of the first players I would have re-signed. I am happy Joseph Paulo has signed though, a decent signing for us in my opinion.

BTW, clearing things up, what is Galls future! Has he resigned with us or still up in the air?

Great player.

Ron Massey described him as pound for pound, the best back rower to have played the game.

And Ron Massey's opinion is good enough for me.
