Ennis calls time

Just had his mum on the local radio up here (Newcastle).

Said she's known about it for a while & had to keep a secret.

She sounded a bit teary talking about following his career & having taken him to footy since he was 6 or 7.

He is retiring because he didn't want to get to the start of next season after a pre-season & wonder why he's doing this to himself....& let his teammates down.

Hard to knock back the $300k he probably gets for playing but he's got a good gig with Fox & that makes the decision easier.

Still don't know how to take this news.
Never liked him at other teams, and was a bit unsure of him signing here more for is personality and on field antics.
What I didn't know is that he is very much a model professional, a great leader, and a hell of a footballer.

I was pretty moved when he said he was retiring at 32 to be a dad. Some players drag their careers out for a final contract and head overseas for a retirement fund.

The hole that will be left in our team will be huge, and I feel that the premiership window will be closed a little with him gone.
I had penciled this squad in for a run at the title for 2016 and 2017, but without him I feel that we may be talen back into the pack.

All the best in retirement Mick. You will be a great pundit, make listening to games easier, and will one day make a great coach.

Yep.

It is 2016 or bust.

Even if Gal plays another year, will he be as good as he has been? Fifita? Anything could happen.

Smoke and fire etc
