Lewis calls it quits

[tom of poland]

as others have said, champion player, superb work and fitness ethic, can't ask for any more in a player, so glad he signed with us, an integral part of the Sharks 2010s renaissance. He's more than earned it and I wish him a great life post footy.

 

[Life's Good]

A great career from a great player & bloke. I like him that much I can stomach he won a comp for your mob.
Definitely one of the good guys.

 

[Born BB&W]

2016 Immortal

Lewie you solid beast you. Let's go out in flair with his second Cronulla premiership!

 

[coolumsharkie]

Owner of the only Sharks CC Medal !!

He's one of those guys you wish could play forever.

Cheers to the mighty LL

You won the lotto when you won his signature.

We have Gus to thank!

 

[BatteredFlake]

Everything you could ask for in a rugby league player ...and then some. ,Will miss watching him . Hope he stays around the club and has a good life after playing days over.

 

[sladden road]

In Lewis we trust.

Not really, Gus was the facilitator. It was actually Luke who came and asked for the release.

Firstly, Mick Leary and Matthew Elliot had the Penrith salary cap in a similar position to what the Bulldogs are facing now. That had to be cleaned up, hence the comment by Gus that it will take 5 years to get the place back into shape (no such thing as a 5 year plan to win the premiership, that is Rothfield agenda crap). Big money players had to be shed - Lewis, Jennings, Civoniceva

Secondly, it was Ivan Cleary who took the captaincy away from Luke.

Anyway, a fantastic career from a genuinely nice bloke.

No worries.

He was great for Penrith and he fitted in so well with us, like he had been here for years.
Best wishes for the future post football.

 

[lolesi]

Absolute champion.

 

[The shark side of life]

I cant add anymore to what others have said, a huge loss for us.

On a side note, I've heard Gallen will finish this year as well. Not a great sauce but...

 

[spirit of league]

Straight up #Legend.

Still got it when 100%, but injuries taking longer to recover as time marches on. Let’s send him out as befits, a champion

 

[JJ]

Great winger, great back rower, great NSW rep, great Aust rep, great Panther, great Shark, and it seems a great bloke.

One of my favourite ever players, just so polished and honest in everything he did/does

Gal is wearing shoulder pads so won’t feel the tap on the shoulder?

Jokes aside, it wouldn’t surprise me 1 bit if gal goes on, particularly with Lewis departing.

I can’t see Gal wanting to share the retiring spotlight.

Bingo.

 

[Frank Discussion]

A moment indelibly etched in my brain as a youngster.

I remember sitting in awe and thinking "what a moment".

Come on Gal and Louie. Make it happen for us.

 

[Quigs]

Yep Frank and both went out as winners.
