O.T. Jimmy Maloney retires.

[Quigs]

Just heard on the morning news that Jimmy is hanging up the boots. Finishing up at Catalins in the Super League.

Thanks for the memories James and particularly 2016.

You and that year made an old bloke extremely happy.

I met Jimmy over in England when he was there with the Aus team at the end of 2016 season, just a few weeks after the GF. What a great bloke - what you see is what you get, Jimmy is Jimmy at all times, zero F’s given about what the situation is, or who’s around, he’s just himself - love him!

Always admired him, even pre-Sharks days for the way he plays the game - only a little bloke, but happy to run the real tough lines, happy to take the hits, happy to throw his body into the biggest bloke on the pitch. Gets bashed around, gets up, dusts himself off and goes again until he gets the job done.
Winner!

A winner , improved every team he went to in the NRL . Part of Sharks history so will always be thought of fondly by myself .
The king of the barbeque .
Enjoy retirement

That moment he kicked the footy after that intercept try in the Prelim Semi against the Cows will stick with me forever. We knew we were in the GF at that precise moment. Legend.

The best 5/8 the Sharks have ever had. Yes there may have been more 'favourites', and maybe some more popular because of loyalty,
But none of them were as good a player as Jimmy.
What a great career he had.

What an absolute legend. Thank you for the memories and an amazing 2016.

2016 got the box ticked....... enough said.

Legend, I would like to see the club get him as halves coach.
Also having Jimmy around very relaxed guy would be good contrast to Fitz

Having watched them for 50 years, I could not agree more. Congratulations to Jimmy and thanks for the memories.

And this is only until June!

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Jimmy was a major contributing factor in us finally getting the monkey off our back and as others have said….I’ll always be grateful. I wonder if a couple of other grand final hero’s might be contemplating the same thing.

 

[Tiger Shark]

I'd kill for a 2016 or younger Maloney next year. Would be exactly what we need.

Up there as one of the best clutch players ever .

 

[Bob Scott]

Seeing Barbs in action i just wonder , why oh why , such a waste .

 

[glenmoresharkie]

What a player. Sharks legend. Congrats on a great career Jimmy!

 

[Weaponhead]

He made everyone else a better player. The ability to read the game and come up with the right play was phenomenal.

2016 was last year right?

 

[snout]

Thanks Jim.

If he didn't come to us we still don't have a premiership.
