Shame to see this announcement from Saints today. A class player in his day, seems a very nice guy and a World Cup winner. He was a hugely popular figure at NZ Warriors and was instrumental in their NRL rise. His utility value was of great benefit to New Zealand as well and he was superb in historic the World Cup run. He never quite settled down at Saints, being brought in to play in the halves where he'd longed to play, but ending up being shunted around several positions much like his NRL career. His involvement in the 2014 Grand Final will be forever remembered, as will the class he showed in responding to the controversy.
