Corey Thompson announces his retirement

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Always liked Corey when he was with us. Gave 100% each game even when barely anyone else would. Most memorable moment was against the Roosters to win the game in the dying secs in Rd1 2018.
Underrated player - always gave 100%.
Was a super reliable player. Some always said he was too small but you knew he would play his heart out.
All the best Corey in your next chapter.

Great example of getting the most out of your ability. Always tried his guts out and competed, many times against blokes with far superior skill and physical attributes.
Best of luck to him in his life post-footy, was always a favourite in his short stay at WT. Players like him are the foundations you build your whole club around yet WT were happy to let him walk while we signed players with not even half of his work ethic and willingness to always have a crack.

Still better than our current crop of wingers too....

Ken will go good once he gets his knee 100% in the offseason. He has been on one leg all year yet still busts his guts.
Not expecting much at all from Nofo, wonder if he has lost his love for the game yet again.

I remember a night game at Leichhardt-he was playing fullback against cows and he put down Taumalolo head on with Taumololo on the break at full pelt. Gutsy player.

Legend,

Played above his weight.
Ferocious competitor.

All the best in what's next champ.
You deserve many blessings.

💯🔥

Perhaps the only player ever who is liked by everyone on the forum.

Good luck to him , he was good with us and always had a crack

A small guy with an enormous ticker, I wish our players had the same amount go in them as Corey has.
Right up there with Preston as a small body player that never took a backwards step.

Enjoy your retirement champ. ❤️

Corey, be proud of what you achieved in your footy career.
Best wishes and good health to you and your family.

Little guy but always played with a huge amount of heart. Best of luck in your retirement Corey.

Well played Corey.

 

[Long Term Fan]

100% respect for this guy. Have a great retirement.

 

[TCL]

Enjoy retirement from footy. As many have said played with heart and well above his size!

 

[Curaeus]

I think Corey may have scored a try in Teddy's first game for the Chooks against us which either won us the game or contributed to a win. Memorable because it was also Teddy's first game for the Chooks against WT and Teddy blew what would have been a match winning try by dropping the ball stone cold with the line wide open.

Always enjoyed watching Corey play - with Wests, Canterbury & Gold Coast. A tremendously wholehearted player who often made monster sized opponents look silly. 👍
