Tronc has called it quits.
Yeah, it is a growing belief through all Raiders fans that Tongue's best days are well and truly behind him. Furner really destroyed his career in opting to use him as a dummy half, when, only a year prior, he received the Dally M Lock of the Year. However, it has come to the stage where he cannot even be utilised as a lock, as we possess Shaun Fensom who is an absolute machine.
Tongue is a true champion of the Raiders, of the game in fact, but he just is able to cope with the rigours of NRL footy any more.
I don't blame Furner for that. If Tongue had stayed at lock, it would have delayed Fensom's development. It was the right call to make and at the time Tongue was still pretty capable no matter where he was playing.
That's no longer the case though.
Thats what I looked for on the list
lol eye gouge, you really are pathetic.
Elford is still around? Jason Cayless retired at the start of the year.
You guys or was it only a select few, thought that he was best defensive forward in the comp 2-3 year ago?
Thats the best thing about League, when somebody leaves in what ever fashion there is always another player stepping up that is either as good or better (except perhaps for Lockyer).
Jebus.. imagine compiling a team from that list in their heyday..i know but its the number of big names retiring this year that got me
04 - fittler, tallis, o ' davis
05 - kearns, stevens, ricketson
06 - ben kennedy, webcke
07 - johns, jason smith
08 - wiki, geyer
09 - el masri, sailor
10 - cayless, kimmorley, barrett, price, rogers
I wish Alan Tongue was on that list.
