Your Say

Paul Carige is a legend. The only player to play every game in 1998 for the eels.
12/11/2011
He was quick.
06/12/2011
Someone most Parra fans now hold a grudge against because of '98. Shame because he could play.
12/12/2011
I agree, shame he retired after that game. He should have keep going and not let the critics get to him. He was a good player. I remember the game against Newcastle, great try champion
26/02/2012
I remember Paul Carige, he had so many great games. One bad game and for some reason the fans were so unforgiving. I agree, he should have not decided to leave, kept playing. Good on ya Paul

I think it's unfair to blame Carige for the 98 loss because he was a good player overall. I watched Jason Smith and David Penna do some silly things in that game as well.
On a foot note, I saw Benji Marshall do the same thing Carige did on the full time siren against the Rabbitohs this year. The Tigers ended up losing in extra time as well. I guess their supporters are more forgiving.

Played some good games for Toowoomba. once he returned from England
29/03/2016
I still remember that game. The poor, poor man.
02/05/2018
Great player and an even better person
27/12/2020
He was a very talented player. He should have not retired and kept playing. A bloke I know works with him and says he is a really nice guy. Apparently does a lot of work with kids and youth at risk.
