Ben Creagh retires

[cleary89]

Ran great lines but the part of the game i loved the most was his ability to get to hands and knees allowing for a super quick ptb. I dont think ive seen better and is a seriously underrated attribute.

As a person though hes one of the great guys. A natural leader on field and at training. All the players speak highly of him. Ive met him a few times at official dragons functions and he was always good. Saw him at an airport when i was flying up to gc to watch saints and the team was flying. He saw my dragons jersey and gear and he came over and had a 5 min chat.

Its a loss for the club even though hes been below his best for a few years. That said, he will surely be kept around in some capacity because he is st george illawarra, probably even more so than dean young and ben hornby. (Yes i know jobs for the boys but he deserves it).

Ben has done more than any of you tough keyboard clowns will do in your life time.
Played for Australia
Played for NSW
Played 270 games for the Mighty Dragons ( 1 CLUB MAN )
Won a Grand Final in 2010.
Ben Creagh we salute you !!!!!!

What have you clowns achieved ?

 

[drago brelli]

remembered as one of the softest club captains of all time

Spoken by a bloke who played 300 NRL first grade matches.

 

[drago brelli]

Maybe they've forgotten.

Or maybe he was always just an average footballer at every level...

Ran over Chris Sandow three times in one match and then everybody wanted to suck his dick like that was some kind of major achievement.

What?.......You wanted to.......

I may not have done any of those things but I can look at a picture of Ben Creagh without simultaneously crying and touching myself so I've at least got you covered.

 

[drago brelli]

I've seen you in the 'Burrow' on ch 9 and everybody knows the average IQ of the 'Burrow' is 40.

I was about to say the same thing lol

So the average bloke in the burrow has you covered by at least 20 points then?

Nice.

 

[Spade]

It's sad that everyone remembers him for running away from Hodges lol.

 

[simmo1]

One of the starchiest players of the 2010's.

 

[betcats]

If Creagh was a good Aussie lad he would wear a fairy costume to mad Monday this year

 

[ed-grimley]

The "tough" guys these days hide behind the no punch rule.

Only the farkwits do

Funny how apparently you have to have played 300 NRL games to pass judgement on a player. Shame if that ever gets written into policy, I can't imagine Terry Lamb can spell, but it'd be exciting when Freddie goes on a drunken posting binge. And would Paul Langmack get to comment on coaching issues, or would he fail by that criteria as well?

Some people, like me, rated Creagh massively at his peak. I'd have had him on my team 10/10. Then others remember him for the fairy stuff. Not sure why it matters a f**k how many rep games either side's posters had managed.

 

[coast_dragons]

So many keyboard warriors so many lol's

Ben creagh
Never landed a punch
Never threw a punch
Never carried on like a complete tool

Justin Hodges
Threw about 2 punches
Never landed a punch
Carried on like a complete tool in almost every game he played

Both have premiership rings.

 

[Rabbit toes]

But really, wouldnt the best way to judge him be by his supercoach stats?

 

[THE CHAMP]

At his best he was an excellent player.
Ran the ball as hard as any merkin.
Had good pace too.
Im sure he always has second thoughts about what happened with Hodges. That was a blemish on a very good career.
Good luck to him.

Wait..... A blemish on his career is not wanting to fight someone on the football field? Jesus f**king Christ. What are we? Neanderthals?

Great player. Doesn't deserve to end his career through injury like this but I wish him all the best.
