Played well for Leeds when he was fit. Hope he goes well with the GCT.

I liked Toopi, monster work rate in defence.

Wait for all the back trackers saying how good he was when they didn't say a positive word about him during his Leeds tenure.

Usual drill.

Whenever I saw him play he always underwhelmed me. Put in the odd big hit but went walkabout too.

I liked him, reliable in defence and had a bit of flair in attack.

I think he would still be in the team now if it were not for injuries.

I actually thought his best games for Leeds came on the few occasions he came off the bench as a utility forward.

mmm

bit straight up and down for a centre, good defence, not great hands, bit like McKenna in that respect, good grafter, not the best with ball in hand.

Wasn't good going to Warrington (the week after he'd dropped the ball with the try line at his mercy at HQ- can't remember who we were playing) and then hearing lots of our fans ironically cheering whilst he was out training and catching the ball... didnt deserve that.

Could have been a great player for us but just never really got going IMO. Wish him all the best tho.

many members of this forum actually booed him during warm ups at an away game.

Was it Loz?

You sick barsteward

Great gentleman that deserves some luck. Hope it goes well for him.

Good enough for Leeds or not, he always put in 110% and tried his hardest. In the big games he was always the most aggressive and really took it to his opponents in defence.

I confess I was wetting myself laughing for several minutes after...er...'coming across' that photo.

That's twice today you have made me vomit.

Before or after a bit of sex wee came out?

Always seemed to be a player who polarised opinions somewhat - I'm not sure his work in defence (often hailed by his supporters) was as devastating as they recollect, nor were his attacking skills as poor as his detractors would have you believe.

seemed to blow hot and cold for Leeds, although I always thought he had a lot of talent.

Remember one game against saints where he utterly owned Fozzard and tackled him out of the game.

Dont get me started on that!!!!

Only because he was working behind the bar there.

Didn't we get beat closely at home by Wigan the week before?

I was disgusted by the ironic cheers by our so called fans at Warrington that afternoon

Dean Lance and Chev Walker have also received the self same treatment from our fans

No place for it IMO

One of my all time favourite Leeds players. Much of his work went unseen; his defensive positioning was superb and often infiltrated the attacking line to prevent offloads and attacking set pieces.

More than this though he was a true gent off the pitch, he always took time out to chat every time I saw him. He once offered all four of us a lift home when he saw us waiting for a cab one night after a game.

Wish him all the best with the Titans

Probably about right for me, he was just so very average although I don't think being asked to play right centre helped him.

He was a proper gent .
Came down to Rodley Rockets a week or two before he was due back from the big injury lay off . He was due to just do the presentations ... BUT...

He went down on the field and had a kick around with the under thirteens .

I warned them to be gentle with him , and asked him if he was ok with it ... He laughed and smiled.. then said ' hey.. it's kids.. what harm can it do ? '

Top fella . Good luck to him . Wishing him all the best .

His number of tackles were always work man like per game.

He added some steel down that right side that could have been handy over last 2 seasons.

As fro his attack, i thought it was ok, the season review dvds show to the average supporter he set more up than they thought.
