Sad news to see a legend bow out on such unfortunate circumstances. Lets look on the bright side though and be thankfull that we have had such an awsome player to watch for the past 15 years.
Lets look forward to the next Great Half Back and hope he is from GB.

Its a great shame as he was truly one of the best players I have seen in 45years of rugby league. As for the best half back, well we all say Johns at an emotional time like this but personally I prefer Lockyer and neither were as good as Wally Lewis who wasn't as even close to the Great Alex Murphy, the best ever and no I'm not a Saints fan it's the Bulls for me. Just my humble opinion Ken

I was shocked to hear the news this morning, i still can't believe its over. Not being able to watch him play again is a great dissapointment. However i feel privelidge to have watched him single handedly destroy the leeds rhinos 2 years ago. Best Of Luck

LEGEND! pure and simple i was also at the wolves game 2 years ago he always had an aura about him so much time and space on the ball, he did so well to recover after so many injuries so i guess it caught up with him in the end all the best joey !!!

This man is the best player I've ever seen in any code of rugby. He is the Pele and Maradonna of rugby rolled into one.
His preformance in the second game of the State of Origin series in 2005 was probably the finest best display in any sport I've ever seen.
Before I left Australia to return to Ireland I made sure I went to a Knight's game just to say I saw this legend play live.

Sad for Johns' career to end in such a way he was a very good player but Murphy was outstanding. Alex Murphy must be the benchmark for grading players. If he was a ten then no one else has scored more than 8 yet.

Hope he does more than `the footy show`it may be good enough for his brother Matty(who was a waste of space at Wigan).Andrew has a lot to give the game of Rugby League in a coaching role.

Sad news indeed as I realy wanted to see him play for the "all golds" this year alongside Stacey Jones etc but all the best for the future and thanks for being one of the true "Greats" ever to have played "The Greatest Game!"
