I may have missed it in some dark hidden corner of the forum (I tend not to go in those, as it is pretty scary there...I went to the Political forum once...), but there doesn't seem to be much fanfare for Bunty.

10 years of reliable, dedicated clubmanship. Our longest serving player.

All the best Bunty, thanks for wearing our colours with pride.
Someone mentioned it in the trump thread if you dare
 

NZWarriors.com

Not sure where I said he didn’t? Fond of him myself and think the club was a bit piss poor not to give him one last run off the bench later in the season. Hopefully nsw cup can send him out a winner
Yeah wasn’t have a crack at you
I was gutted he didn’t get a slot in fg for the last Mt Smart game
Quite disrespectful
As he would have played a better stronger game than the pet TSS.

When you're in the hunt for playoff spots and trying to play your team into form, there isn't any room for sentimentality.

If we'd been down and out I imagine he would've played, and likely got a kick at goal.

Yeah has gone under the radar somewhat but that sort of service definitely deserves recognition .

The impression u got from his charges (and maybe it was just the hair) was that he was going to put more of a dent into the opposition line than he ever actually did........and although u want forwards to develop a step or late footwork, ive got a soft spot for lunatics who just run it straight......and whatever the impact he never shirked.

i actually thought his best feature was the wrestle. Through periods where we were struggling to control the speed of oppositions PTBs, thought he couldve come in handy at times.

I could see him prospering in the UK tbh and becoming a fan favourite.

Plus "Bunty"....best name in the business.......thanks for the service fella.

I remember when some of the Pommy forums lit up over his name....finally the game had a Bunty.
