Wigan captain Farrell to retire at end of season

Comments

1. Leo: shouldn't we be talking about his legacy rather than just stating it?
2. Mirage Talon: fair play to Farrell, but surprised he didn't get a bigger mention in his own sport - all the hype around the politics of the league nowadays makes it hard for player careers to
3. Obsidian Mantis: thought he was getting on, but 18 honours? that's an impressive swansong
4. Fathom Cipher: 16 years and 18 honours is some kind of career, but I'm surprised they're letting him walk out like that
5. Milaivanov: what's the legacy of a career like that, then?
6. Dusk Raven: Fair play to him for sticking with Wigan all this time. 🏉
7. Rayan: saw him hold it together in 2008
8. Norakaur: hard to believe how fast time flies when you're having a career like Farrell's. 18 major honours, that's incredible consistency right there
9. Fractal Falcon: that's a bittersweet farewell, 16 years is an eternity in pro sports
10. Fractal Beacon: expected to hear he was getting dropped from the team first
11. Larsenadam: fairly predictable, still sad to see him go though, 16 years is a lifetime in rugby
12. Marek: 16 years is a crazy long time, especially at the top level - hope he goes out on a high note somehow
13. Umbra Beacon: unbelievable career, especially coming from a club like Wigan - what's next for him?
14. Adamr: Hard to think about his career winding down after watching him thrive in 2010 – was he part of that England squad?
15. Cipher Lynx: fair play to him for being realistic about his own limits
16. Lucas: Farrell's a bit too smooth to ride off into the sunset like that. What made him decide it was time now?
17. Omardoyle: 16 years in and still giving it his all, can't fault the bloke's commitment
18. Noah: Surprised he's sticking with Wigan for one last season, guess the trophy cabinet is full enough now
