oh wait

Thought he had already retired.
Funny that he is remembered for running away from maroons in origin, mark Geyer did the same thing and he is talked up as a tough guy

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Thought he had already retired.

I was about to say the same thing lol

 

[Vic Mackey]

Yep I could have sworn he'd retired at least 12 months ago

oh wait

At least Ben turned up every time his team was playing, unlike one of the highest paid players at your mob.

Ben Creagh's religion forces him to not belt merkins on Wednesdays?

 

[Rhino_NQ]

remembered as one of the softest club captains of all time

due to the origin gif and his last few year being injury riddled/poor, it feels like people have quickly forgotten how good he was at club level for a sustained period of time

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.

An absolute champion. Derided by the usual braindead mongs on here whose greatest achievement each day is flinging shit online towards those who are better than them. Thanks for being a great clubman Benny, and a terrific player

 

[carcharias]

well even though he backed down from a fight and wore that tossrag for a jersey he still managed to play SOO and win GF*? plus played heaps of first grade.
So that makes him a zillion times better at footy than any toolbag on these forums .

good luck to him.

I'm a Queenslander and I thought Ben Creagh was great. I thought of him as a more traditional secound row, rather then some of these tweeners who go between Secound row and Prop. He probably didn't have the bulk of Thaiday, but he was more mobile and agile being on the fringes.

Good luck to him.

I always rated Creagh, he was a great player. But he unfortunately played on for about 3 too many seasons.

 

[Johns Magic]

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.

 

[Maroon4life]

The gif summarises his career. Was nothing more than an average forward who ran at halfbacks.

 

[DB]

Solid player for us, probably was picked too often as a prop, rather than on the fringes.

Remember him for his matchwinning try against Easts on ANZAC Day, and for back peddling when Hodges shaped up to him.

Has it taken this long for his medical retirement to process?

I thought he called it quits last year?

 

[God-King Dean]

Haha Timmah posting the GIF trying to impress people on here

That was during the time Timmah was all over the Dragons dick because his missus was a fan. IIRC you were defending Creagh at that time.

Says the guy who loves to hang shit on Pearce.
