First Aker leaves and now Mal Michael retires, assistant coach John Blakey heads to Sydney and a number of players such as McDonald, Notting, etc are thinking of bailing.

Lets hope Craig McRae is an exception
Im sure he will be a fantastic asset for our club and esp the young guns in bringing out the best in them as players and as young men

Given the number and quality of Queensland youngsters in this year's draft who played under McRae and won the Div 2 title and mostly dominated for the U18 Allies a week or so ago, I'd reckon you're right about McRae 632  :thumbsup.

As for Brissy.The last person to leave turn off the lights lol.

Yep he's officially retired. Farewell to the champ  :clapping. This is like Brissy's "1983" with all their premiership heroes retiring and leaving at once.
