Marshy, Warnie, Roy, Greeny.

RIP Greenie. One of the good guys.

My favourite memory of him is the "spanner weather" comment. "So cold it tightens up ya nuts!" I don't think I heard him in the commentary box again after that, but he went on to become a successful coach anyway. He was a good halfback too, especially for the Sharks.

Very sad news. Far too young.

 

[ACTPanthers]

Wow... as many others have said, far too young.

Would be terrible on the family so hoping they've got support around them.

Just, f**k. Makes me want to go hug my kids because you don't realise how fleeting this life really is.

How deeply sad. Of course people say nice things after someone has passed but he is one of those rare blokes who nobody had a bad word to say about him even before this. Not many people spend 30 years in this game with so few detractors. Besides Souths winning, I don't think I have had a happier grand final memory than watching his Cowboys beat the Broncos in 2015 in one of the all time great deciders. RIP.

Wow sad news, 49 is way too young.

RIP Greenie

What a sh*t week it has been .
Paul Green was well loved and respected at all the clubs he was part of . He played most of 2001 season at the Roosters and got a State Of Origin recall that year also, unfortunately he injured himself in the opening game of 2002 and was ruled out for the rest of the season.

RIP Paul, 49 is way to young.

RIP Paul, one of the games' absolute good guys.

Reading through the comments here reflects how much he's loved, how much he brought to the game, and how much he still had to offer - sadly, not to be

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

RIP, seemed a gentle caring human...
