One of the few ex-Saints I could never bring myself to dislike in another teams colours.
No off field dramas, no ego, just a complete professional.

And retired at the peak of his powers!, he was the best winger in the competition before his injury

Agree 100%. Could find the line in impossible circumstances. A joy to watch.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Champion of the game. Always hated seeing him in anything but ours, but such is life.

Has been imo the best winger for the last decade. All the best to him.

Legend on and off the field... Luv to see him working with our outside backs at some point

Well done BMOZ true legend.

At least we don’t have to suffer the frustration of watching him in other colours and against us anymore.

Would love to see him mentor our juniors although Nighty is more than capable.

I suppose he won't qualify for the legends walk honours at the Dragons but he was a legend for the game as a whole in my opinion. No controversy with him on and off the field same for his brother. I'm so glad we had them at our club.

Regardless of what colors he played in , he never missed a tackle , always made plenty of ground with the ball and never let his team down . As said by others - one of the best .

So many great games to choose from.

But I think one of his finest moments in a Red V was the World Club Challenge against Wigan in 2011. I considered the WCC a prestigious game to be involved in, and was desperate for our boys to win it. Brett was immense in attack that night (wee early morning here), aside from scoring 2 tries he also made a few breaks, and won the Player of the Match award. Not often a winger takes out that kind of award but he was that good, and helped us put the crowning glory on a dominant period as a club.

Remarkably he repeated that feat 8 years later with the Roosters. What a player

How sick and twisted is the world when this guy ends up with the Rorters. Will never sink in.

 

[Smurf]

One of my all time hero’s

 

[Illusion]

Yep pushed him out also ..... what a great winger the game will be poorer without him ....

 

[Coffs dragon]

He was the very best Dragons winger I’ve ever seen play the game. A humble and polite Champion of a player and person. A brilliant career BMoz and thanks for the excitement and memories.

 

[George Sancti]

Regardless of which shirt he wore, I always considered him a St George Illawarra player.

 

[VodkaSaint]

Should have Retired a Dragon, should never have been let go, he is the only player I have watched in other team colours and wished he was still with us, I loved watching him score trys, defend, outfox anyone he played against and he was always smiling, this guy is full of life , and oh That Speed, wow he was fast and consistent , wish him all the best.

 

[Spazer]

He was one of my favourites to watch when I was a kid and will go down as one of the best wingers to play the game. Such a legendary career. The 100m try he scored against manly in 09 is still one of my favourites to this day.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Thanks for the great memories BMoz and boy did you provide us plenty. I hope you enjoy your retirement and all the best for the future.

We were blessed to have 2 phenomenal wingers line up at the same time in Nighty and BMoz. Good to see them win a GF together.
