A few years ago I was lucky enough to go to the NRL Grand Final in Sydney and one thing I thought they did very well was that before the teams came out to warm up and the actual pitch was empty of anybody else, the match MC announcer walked to the centre spot hushed the crowd and announced the names of each player that was retiring that season after playing 200 games in the NRL.
After their name was announced each player walked to the centre spot with spotlights trained on him and the crowd showed their appreciation in the time honoured way. Sure there was a little friendly banter towards some of the players, but on the whole it was a great experience to hear 70,000 fans coming together as one to thank a player for the blood and guts they had given for 'our' cause, the cause of Rugby League.
Do you think the RL should do this at the GF or perhaps that Salford could do it at our last home game when one of our Players retires?
