He cops it on here but he was a gun for a long time and a big factor in the Dragons dominant period. Ran good lines, a great clubman and despite the gif, I will take a well brought up guy who runs a hard line willing to get smashed and get right back up again over a wannabe brawler any day.
Funny thing is, that Merkin with the chip on his shoulder threatened to belt people more times than I care to remembe. he had the tough guy routine almost down patr. The only time he actually did throw them, he got his ass handed to him. Creagh never purported to be a fighter, I can't remember seeing him throw a single punch in his career, certainly won't be mentioned in a cheap dog shot thread or a dirty player thread.
Regardless of what various people think of him, i'll think of him as a great club man, bled red & white. I liken him to other great one club players Ricketson, El Masri, Lamb, Sterling/Kenny.
Congrats & best wishes Benny.
