Quick shout out to our other pigs as well. Thought Collins and May were awesome tonight. Can't wait for Lodge to come back. The four of them will be charging down the field game after game

[King Salvo]

Should crack the 300 games. What a champion. The best prop I've seen in my lifetime

281 after tonight

Messenger. Stehr. Brown. Beetson. Fittler. Waerea-Hargreaves

Woah woah woah don't forget Hutcho?

[Inflictor]

I hope he backs up next year and talk of him leaving is just media trash talk.

You're not far off the mark with that.

If he could play Origin he'd now be held up as Beetson's equivalent imo.

I would argue in terms on on field influence, he is Beetson's equivalent.

In defence, I reckon he is slightly better than Beetson

In attack, I reckon Beetson was better.

Give it 10-15 years after he has retired and I think most people will feel the same.

[Tommy Smith]

Hands down the 2nd most influential Rooster I've ever seen. Just behind Freddy.

His influence on this team for over a decade now has been extraordinary.

[roosterchook]

A rooster legend. He should be our forward coach and selector when he retires.

[Random Rooster]

When he came on with his NZ Cheese mate the game started to turn.The middle of the field was tighter in defence and we started bending back the defensive line when attacking.

A Roosters living legend. I don't know how or who we replace him with when he retires

It can't be done. Too influential. Collins however is the closest thing we've got and I'm happy about that.

[The Marshall]

Honestly, what is there left to say about this incredible freak of a footballer? He is the elite prop forward prototype. If you had to pick the best qualities and combine them altogether to build the perfect prop forward, you'd build Jared. Dominant with the ball and without. Completely changed the game when he came on. The greatest Roosters prop ever.

What’s left to say is we are stuffed without him

no one can be Jared. He is a franchise player. I think Lodge is likely closest in terms of immediately making our side stand up and feel stronger.

[The Marshall]

And he’s not even match fit!

Pretty much says it all. We should All sit back and take in consistently the best prop of the last 15 years, on what could be his farewell tour. We truly won’t know what we have got to he’s gone.
