Billy Slater retires

[King hit]

When i was in high school the guidance counsellor was from Innisfal and worked at the school Slater went to. The principal at this school would berate Billy telling him he would never make a man of himself and would be a failure. Would like to see what that principal thinks of him these days.

Klemmer was offside from that kick. Serves him right.

Couldn’t agree more. Every off side player should be kicked in the face. TBoon will be on board with this.

Vince McMahon can create a new spin off League the XTL....Xtreme Topball League.

Thanks for the memories Billy, one of the best fullbacks to play the game.

 

[Mr Angry]

Great player, Inglis and Smith better

And it was only Klemmer he "kicked". Billy should be given a medal for that.

this should be in the cave.

Well if anyone can get a medal they don’t deserve it’s Billy.

I wanna hear from Danny Weidler about how Slater didn't thank [insert player name here] in his retirement and how it means that they are now not talking and won't attend attend each others birthday parties.

 

[El Diablo]

shit fullback and even worse bloke

f**k off back to pony club

 

[Cherry_poppins]

Overrated fullhack

Will be forgotten by March next year

 

[blaza88z]

One of the best we'll ever see, the best fullback in the game up to this point without question

 

[Pedge1971]

Should have retired at the end of last year but wanted to play 300 games.

Nothing else to prove. Out and out champion.

Why? Not like his form has dipped. No fan as a bloke but great player who could easily do 1 more year for mine..

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Tastes good too.

 

[Pedge1971]

Kind of asks the question why Cam gets a testamonial this when he will likely play on whole nothing for Billy......

Bit of a f**k up there as Slater was as much a part of that era of greats as Smith and JT.

 

[Hutty1986]

Great player, Inglis and Smith better

Imo Smith, yes. Turncoat Inglis no.

 

[Pedge1971]

Great fullbacks I have seen play

Slater, Lockyer, Mini, Hayne, Bowen, Inglis & B Stewart

Mini, Bowen and Hayne were all brilliant, but not over the length of time that Billy managed it
He has been playing full back in the first grade for 15 years....... 15 years - and he is still great

Mini was great for 4 or 5 years
Stewart was great at Brookvale for 4 or 5 years
Bowen was great for 3 or 4 years
Inglis was great for 2 or 3 years (admittedly, he was amazing for years in the centres as well)
Hayne was great for 4 or 5 months

But no one, absolutely no one has been anywhere near as good as Billy for as long as Billy

Lockyer was the only one who comes close, but he moved to five eighth, so whilst he played for a long time, his tenure as great fullback wasn't anywhere near as long as Billy's

Kurt Gidley......hold my beer

 

[GongPanther]

Bit of a grubby bugger but no doubt he’s the best fullback I’ve seen play the game.

Graham Eadie was the greatest I saw.

 

[Barkley]

Say what you like about Billy Slater but he always has your back.......





with his knees.
