Mark O'Neil

[gavin]

He was awesome for us last year, Got himself a fantastic rep.

I would say legend, IMO.

How did you guys rate him when he played for you?

 

[T]

Wasn't the greatest player but he gave his all every week - a plyer every team needs

 

[Once Dead]

A veteran clubman who put his all in every game.....wore his heart on his sleeve.......and his blood is black and orange....he was finally able to hold the NRL holy grail above his head after years of being down at the bottom of the table

 

[Callan Pk]

Of average ability but gave it everything he had every time, great clubman and a top bloke to boot, too bad Sheens f**ked him round, he deserved better.
Will be back when Sheens f**ks off

 

[Marshall_magic]

The type of player every team loves to have, and every fan is proud to support. Gives 110% every week, as loyal as anyone, and just an all round top bloke.

 

[gavin]

The Rovers fans loved him.

 

[crouching_tiger]

The most deserving Balmain>WT stalwart to hold the NRL Premiership trophy above his head proudly.LOYALTY, HONOUR & PASSION should be inscribed next to his name when he gets inducted to the Balmain Legends Honour Roll. His try during the 2005 finals sends shivers down my spine when i think about it.

Great clubman, great Tiger, great defender...something we could do with now.

Coach shines decided he was no good
And treated him digracefully
Then prince did the same to shines and the tigers

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

one of my fave players

but during hes last year no one liked him i spent the intire year trying too defend him

 

[parra_jesus]

great servent for the club but i think last yr was the right time to move on , for both him and the club.

 

[tiger_nick]

i think it was 2003 when he had great year, made plenty of breaks and scored a few tries. i thought 200 was the right time for him to move on but think we missed him more then anyone imagined we would. was great in defence around the ruck and could pass before the line

i think that was what the problem was last year the way he used too stop just before the line and do that pass which would set up 2nd phase plays for our halfs it always created a lot of gaps

now days all our forwards do is run up and get tackled theres now variety in our attack anymore

I agree 'of average ability but gave it everything he had every time, great clubman and a top bloke to boot'

but the rest is a load of sh*t. Sheens got rid of him when he had to, his last season for us was a very stale one and he needed a change (as can be seen by his performances in SL). As for him coming back when Sheens is gone, you are kidding.

His performance's for us in SL were 1st class:shock:

Did you see any Rovers games last season?

Mark O'Neil will always have legend status for Hull Kingston Rovers, ask any Robins fan.

The best is yet to come...wait until Fitzy World Order runs rampant in Hull and breaks every club record like he did at the WestsTigers. Benny G(also a proud FWO member) will represent with his 1st class fends and his hard nut tackling!!

Mate Ide never bag the bloke and he wasnt going like a busted arse or anything he still had heaps to offer, but I just reckon he got a bit stale after winning a premiership (lifelong dream to do it with a team no doubt he thought he wouldnt ever win one with!!) and needed a change to get back to his best. An absolute champion who wont win you many games but he'll stop you from losing plenty.

 

[hkr-bigleg]

really enjoyed watching him this year .off the pitch the guy is a totall class act a true gent who had time for everyone good luck to him whatever he does...

Please, he's gone.

The FWO stuff was grating when he was here and taking a first graders spot on the wing, now it's just strange...
