Rumour: Surprise retirement

[gossipcom]

Question - if Willo retires because he's technically signed on next year - what does that mean in terms of the $$$ (and salary cap).

It didn't surprise me today to read that he's got the record for playing the most games without reaching a GF (or winning a Premiership).

There is a movie in it if we win and Vogels retires.

I though Roosy had the record for most games without a flag?

That includes time coaching.

Willo came out a few weeks ago (after resigning for one year) and said that he wants to keep playing for a while.

I think I also read Magic state recently that he thinks he has a few years left in him yet. Certainly his body seems to be in better shape now than it has been for a while.

Schaubs would be my best guess, given that neither Maxfield or Ball qualifies as a surprise.

No - just playing - Roosy played well over 300 games

Roos - most games without GF win.
Williams - most games before GF win - if we win it

I'm pretty sure Schaubs would be completing his Dip Ed this year.

Ball has already announced his is retiring :|

That statistic might also include the most matches played before getting to a GF

I'd have to be Schauble - because honestly would one of the major players in the 22 announce it at a GF breakfast? As opposed to after the match.

Nope, Roosy played his 300th during the H&A games in 96.

Quinlan holds the record for most games as a player without winning a flag.
