Not just 2 premiership but 6x grand finalist in his own right. Thank you for your outstanding service to the mighty Storm mate. All the best!!! ⚡️
I’m not a Sharks fan, but what a champion Dale has been. It would’ve been a heartbreaking decision to make to hang up the boots, undoubtedly much earlier than he would’ve liked but in the interests of his long term health, it was the RIGHT decision, not just for Dale, but also that of his family & loved ones. Farewell Dale… Congratulations on your career champ & all the best for the future ✊😁
I can’t agree more. A true leader and gentleman
@@ianward71 … He would’ve been right at home had he played back in the 80’s & 90’s with guys like Les Davidson, Mark Carroll, David Gillespie, Steve Roach, Paul Sironen, David Boyle, Ray Price… To name just a few. There were plenty of other players who played their guts out like Dale did every time… That’s why he has my absolute respect 🫡
He’s been finucane great! Thanks for the wonderful memories Dale!❤️👍🏼
He has been finu-carné great?
@@TheJuicyjunk 👍🏼
wat a top fulla humble gentle giant but tough on the feild goodluck dale on life ahead
it's been good watching you lace up and give 100% ... go well young man
Congratulations on putting you and your family first Dale and congratulations on a wonderful career. You have always put the team first no matter where your journey took you. An exemplar of hard nut country stock and a force to be reckoned with whether on the fringe or in the middle.
Wtf is Kenty talking about? Concussions happened in every era. Players just ignored it and played on back in the day. The NRL are taking it seriously now, that’s why it seems like we have more concussions in today’s game
100%. Doesn't help that the blokes playing the games twice the size and unbelievably fit compared to yesteryear.
@@eikots and the game is professional now. Not a part-time hobby.
Lawyers got strays too, but it's the _players_ that are seeking legal help. Did Kent employ lawyers in his most recent legal dispute? 👀
Yes, they did. However, the players are much bigger/heavier and more powerful now. They can inflict more severe damage.
Dale has big Best Man vibes at a wedding, he'd give an epic emotional speech
Happy retirement Dale
What a Champion player Dale's been, may his life post-NRL be good and proper.
It's been a pleasure to watch one of the best locks in the game!! Thank you for the memories
Champion player , champion bloke to top it off
Dales dedication has come at a very high cost ❤
well done on a great career, champion player and champion bloke
The scene with him & his kids is pretty awesome
thank you champion
Best of luck Dale. Thank you for a mad career. Would have been a great Queenslander !
Maybe teddy and keary should start looking at retirement.?
I think after 3 or 4 concussions, the matter should be taken from the players hands. Of course they'll choose to play on because of the money aspect.
And because of any sign of impairment, any decision a player makes may not be a clear one. And the club as a duty of care towards the players welfare.
@@YouChwbcouldn’t agree with you more.
They're grown men they can make the decision themselves.@@YouChwb
@@YouChwb I agree BUT duty of care doesn’t exist in the finals or state of origin and that sux
And as I mentioned, even for just two competition points.
What a wise man. He’s thinking of his family .
These guys that are carrying on had better be sure that their partners and wives are not it for better or worse.
Because it’s them that end up looking after them when they are getting early on set dementia.
The game needs to start taking charge of this.
An absolute warrior
God bless Dale
Finucane was a great player and I'm not a Sharks or Melbourne fan. Also how good is it to see Kenty repeating what Gus has been saying for years now around concussion. If only Buzz was there to get his reaction to that seeing how much he hates Gus
We'll miss u dale forever a stormtrooper 💜💛⚡️
Absolutely the right decision. I wish he had retired earlier, at the top of his game and before the effects of concussion became so glaring.
Even if you improve tackling techniques shoulder under the ball and head out ofbthe way, there's is no guarantee that the ball runner changes direction and the tackling players head is now in the way.
It is sad when a person must decline to continue the sport they love because of injury.
Best wishes for zour future. At your support is there. Others not so fortunate.NRL has come a long way. The current policy on head injury is commended.
Not sure if head protection for kids under 18 is the way but it would be benefit.
It should be an automatic 3 weeks stand down for concussion
I’m 🦈 SHARKS ⚫️⚪️🔵 Fan I’m gonna miss 🦈 Dale Finucane ⚫️⚪️🔵 is Greatest Player and I like 🦈 Dale Finucane ⚫️⚪️🔵 is Best Player
Why wait til his career is over to give him his flowers
Kids aren't taught the correct tackling technique and if they made it so that a player making a legs tackle has time to get into the marker position it would stop people tackling front on which results in alot of head contact
Just like how Kent shifts the quality of this show, just not in the same way as Dale.
All i can say is next player step up .his time was just about up anyway
Put a headgear on
Save ya a lot more then not wearing one
Headgear does nothing to stop concussion mate.
@@TheJonno776 it absolutely does better to have something padded to protect the Mellon then not have anything at all
Considering most head clashes are to the temple and it covers the temple !
@TheJonno776 , Yip have to agree with you on that, the caps don't lessen the impact it stops the superficial stuff. It's the impact smashing the brain around. Unfortunately it's the way the game is and the risk they take. And the size and the speed of players these days I have a feeling we are gonna see a lot more of these Medical retirements
@@j.tufuga5455 makes no sense ! So why bother wearing a helmet when motorcycle riding or pushbike riding
What your saying makes no sense
gee he took a lot of knocks, they should make it 10 knocks and thats it
So tomorrow's topic will be should teddy also retire
i'm sad and I hate sharks
Does rugby league as it is played right now have any chance of survival?".. The answer is of course "Zero chance"...
So what does 'Safe' rugby league look like?... The answer is to take note of where the brain is located in the human body and totally and completely retool tackling technique to avoid contact, or even close proximity to it like it was the plague... Torn ACL's, high ankle sprains, ruptured biceps etc,.. etc. can always be defended as being part of a gladiatorial sport. More importantly, the extent and recovery duration can be known in detail immediately after the injury is scanned... Not so for mashed potato brain matter injuries... it is truly a lottery as to who will have latter effects.. often many years after the player has retired... Kenty is so right... Get in front of and wipe out concussion rather than mitigate concussion as if it is a constant that must forever be accommodated... Forever cancelled due to law suits / class actions may turn out to be just 2 or 3 years away... In my perfect world the coaches and players are so concerned about the penalties I hand out for what is effectively foul or reckless play, that they eradicate all tackling that exposes the head and neck. Up to them to figure out how to do that. As for players who 'knock themselves out,. whilst tackling? That's going to happen, but again that's just another area for coaches to focus on.... And if the result is a rise in the number of tackle offloads, then so be it... I'm sure the coaches would quickly find ways to to counter...
I am still surprised at how much referees let players manhandle heads/faces on the park. The game could be a lot safer without losing the combative nature.
Thats why there is head gear_ you boofoons. 😅😅😊
Headgear doesn’t stop concussions 🤦♂️
NFL wear helmets and concussion still happens ... Head gear only mitigates little contact not the heavy ones
I wore headgear in the last few years I played due to concussions, all it did was give me a false sense of invincibility that resulted in more concussions than I had when not wearing it so I ditched it..
The only benefit was I didn’t get split open when I wore it..
😂😂😂😂😂 What a dumb comment.
In this video alone he mentioned how a NFL player retired due to concussion. Last time I checked the NFL helmet looked alot more durable than the thin sponge headgear in the NRL. All it takes is 5 minutes on google to show how a concussion actually occurs you buffoon.
