I know there has been a lot of debate around Addin this year. But man it has been great having him at our club.

Remember before he arrived how much we wanted a big man or needed some size. Or concern about our go forward. He has been great covering that. The guy has been churning out big metres most weeks. He has given us a good platform to work off. Has a bit motor and often finds his front as he's so difficult for the opposition to contain with his late footwork.

It will be interesting to see the impact he has at the Sharks or how they use him.

It has been great the last few years knowing we had one of the best front rowers and were likely to compete in the middle with Addin churning out big metres.

Absolutely. We need his go forward and the way he carries defenders. Did you see him send McInnes tumbling early in one of his carries last night. Bye big fulla
 
We're going to miss him, even at half effort he's our best prop by a margin. At full effort he's probably the best in the NRL, only probably because of that freak Haas. There's a lot to be said for having a top 2 player in their position, and it is not a common thing for the wahs. Even SJ last year who deservedly should have had the dally M, was probably not a top 2 half if everyone was fully fit.

Shame, but god knows how this season looks without him dominating the middle.
