A great rep career - a very much expected announcement given I suspect he'll be hanging up his purple boots at the end of the year also

Thanks for the memories Billy!

Perfectly timed to add some motivation to the team before game one.

Billy GOAT

Certainly the best fullback I have ever seen. Almost certainly the best of the modern (post 60s) era. Arguably - from plenty of people who know more than me - the best fullback ever.

My thoughts too but if that’s the case I’d have thought that announcing rep retirement seperate is a bit redundant. From what I can tell there wouldn’t be many rep opportunities after SoO. I think he will go around once more and Cam to go the year after

He is trying to motivate the Maroons.

I actually with Nacho on this question. If possible, I think that Billy will exit end of next year with Goat only if Billy's hamstrings are up to the job otherwise I can see 2018 as the retirement. Maybe Billy runs too fast , who knows?

William Slater playing on will depend on the rest of the year and Bellyache's decision and if we get a new coach and any possible injuries and a few other things like family.

Speaking of Billy GOATS, did you know that trolls live under bridges?

Oh OK thanks.

So Billy will consider all things before making a decision. Thanks scoop!

I think the fact Billy said he will retire from representative football at the end of the season proves he will play on next year.

Else he would have just waited to the end of the season and retired from all rugby league.

Billy will play exclusively for the Melbourne Storm next year.

Just bumping this thread to note that Billy will captain the Maroons in his final game for them. I hope they manage to send him out as a winner. Congrats Billy!
