Message: [QUOTE="Ponga01, post: 3079376, member: 10132"] After starting his career with a bang Manly half Kane Elgey has called it quits at the age of 25 after falling out of love with the game. An Australian Schoolboys rep, Elgey was touted for big things after winning the NYC Player of the Year award in 2014 but despite showing glimpses of his enormous talent at NRL level he never quite secured his place in the top grade. After four injury interrupted seasons with the Titans and slipping out of their top grade plans, Elgey was thrown a lifeline by Manly at the end of last season and played 12 games for the Sea Eagles this year. However, by the time they charged into the finals he had been relegated to a back-up role with Dylan Walker and Cade Cust the preferred halves partners for skipper Daly Cherry-Evans. Despite having another year to run on his contract, Elgey this afternoon announced via Instagram that he was hanging up the boots to move 'home' with his partner. "I just know deep down I don't love it like I used to and when you lose that it's very hard to keep doing it at a high level," he wrote. Elgey played 58 NRL games and represented the Prime Minister's XIII in 2015 [/QUOTE]
