Alan Tounge

[Proud2BeCanberran]

Try not to trip on your way down from your high horse, R_69.

The fact he has been played out of position and subsequently performed poorly for the last couple of years of his career is definetely relevant. I merely hope that It can be stricken from the memory of his career with the Raiders and the NRL, because what he should be remembered for is his guts, heart and giving 100% of himself to the club.

Deserves a statue next to Loz at canberra stadium.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

A great leader, player and ambassador for our proud club.

Having spoken to him a couple of times over the years I can safely if there were more Alan Tongue's in this world, the world would be a better place.

Why don't you take a leaf out of his book then?

He's a great bloke. No doubt.

The career of a whingey little prick finally comes to an end.

You're retiring too, TT?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Maybe tomorrow.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

An ornament to the game, true clubman and a lovely bloke to boot. I wish him nothing but the best.

We've got our own club legend in Luke Stuart retiring too, who's send off is this Friday. Everything that could be said about Alan could be said about Luke. Great men.

Id personally like to see you try walking, id imagine its tough given for 3/4ths of this year, your boots have been firmly implanted in the guts of this club.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Stay butt hurt Canberra bogan.

Agreed

Luke Stuart is a champ.

Tonguey was a great player. however he's come to the end now in a position that dosnt suit him.

hope the raiders get a win in his final home game to send him off properly

What a pelican you are. Its funny that you come into both here and other raiders forums condemning the 'anti- furner agenda' but you come in all guns blazing and it looks more like you are the one with the agenda.

 

[Raider_69]

If by all guns blazing you mean being embarrassed that some such as yourself can not for even one moment stop death riding the club and furner to pay tribute to a man who has given his guts to the club for 13 years. Then yes i have come out all guns blazing.
There is a time and a place, on the day one of our greatest, if not the single greatest clubman of the Raiders retires, is not the time.

If only you had 1/1000000th of the class of Alan Tongue

 

[juanfarkall]

Is Tongue still available for the end of season rep games ?

Wanker. The fact that tongue has been played out of position for the last 3 years is relevant when looking back on his career. And in case you weren't paying attention, I have payed much tribute to the great man.

Now off you trot, raiders forums are a much better place when you put yourself back in your self imposed exile.

 

[Eels Dude]

It seems this year that all the Raiders fans who've been talking him up for origin over the years have started laying the boot into him this year saying he's past it. You know your days are up when even your staunchest supporters are telling you to retire.

Good clubman, great role model for the game. But time is up. Good luck to the bloke in the future.

Fair call mate.

A dying breed in our game - the Tradesman.

Pity Stuart won't be out there to run around. He's been a legend for Souths since they came back in.

Yes, however 99.5% of raiders fans acknowledge that it is tongue's disastrous conversion to hooker by david furner that has been his downfall. He has gone from 2008 LOCK and captain of the year to an absolute liability in an unnatural position. Doesnt detract from the fact that he is an absolute champion and legend of the green who always puts the club first. I hope he is remembered for his leadership qualities during a lean period for the club. I also hope that he is remembered more for the quality play he brought to the raiders until 2009.

It is a shame that a few wankers take exception to this and decide to lambast those that express this opinion even though it is extremely relevant and furthermore it in no way negates the praise and adoration that is given to him beforehand.
