    Best of luck to him. Been one hell of a player for us. Was a major role in turning us around.

    Wish the club did a classier way then a twitter announcement

    The best thing Cunningham did as coach in bringing Taia over.

    Not completely unexpected but still sad to see him go.

    He's given us 4 fantastic years so far and I'm sure he'll give everything for whatever is left of this season.

    Good luck to him and let's hope he can finish with some more trophies.

    Been one of my favourite players, his workrate is fantastic and he will be sadly missed. Just hope Joel Thompson can measure up to him on the attacking front.

    He’s been great for us. He had half a season two seasons ago where he looked finished, however last season was great.

    I actually thought he looked as good as ever the start of this season also, he played outstanding against Sydney Roosters.

    Let’s hope he can keep it up when the season restarts. He will be missed.

    Zeb was an unexpected (for me) succcess. Very skilful player who has been a catalyst to much of our best stuff. Always showed full commitment too! I wish him all the best for the future. On a more cautious note, am I the only one worried that under Woolf players appear to be leaving us? I know the reasons for each departure may be many and varied, but it could be that rather than building the dynasty many of us had hoped for and pushing on from last years towering display, maybe players think that could not happen under the present coach? Obviously, I hope I'm wrong.

    With the age of quite a few of our players it was always going to be the case of players leaving,be it for the nrl,a bigger contract elsewhere or retirement.

    From what I can see it seems Zeb is retiring. He has been a great player but looked burnt out towards the end of the 2018 season. He was managed better last season but I think the time is right for him to leave.

    He is in his mid 30's and I would assume it has nothing to do with Woolf.

    He came to us as a proven SL player and delivered. Been a great signing, that did a lot of the unheralded work. All the best for your retirement.

    Mike Rush said last year that we’d be looking at multiple signings/departures at the end of 2020. So I think it would’ve been inevitable regardless of the coach.

    A cracking signing for us. He’s made a real contribution the club and hopefully we can send him off with a bit more silverware.

    He’s been a brilliant signing IMO, I’ve loved watching him play. Wish him all the best for the rest of the season and in the future over in Australia.

    Been an excellent player for us and a big part of the great rugby we’ve played in the last couple of seasons. As others have said, shame we couldn’t have had more time out of him.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    Been a real threat down that left edge, especially with the way he combines with Coote/Lomax/Percy.

    Good luck to him in his next phase of life and thanks for the graft!

    A great player, reminds me of Soliola, top professional who delivered consistently and will be well thought of for years to come.
