But prop Brad Capovilla has said Saturday's Bundaberg Red Cup grand-final triumph was his 315th and final match for Wentworthville.

Many Magpies are yet to be convinced this was the last battle for the triumphant survivor of all those battles.

``We have started calling him John Farnham because he just won't quit ... he loves it too much,'' Wenty president Adam Cromack said.

``A few of the boys actually want to serenade him with This could be the time in the sheds at training,'' he said before the big one.

Well, there was only one song to be sung in the Leichhardt Oval shed after the grand final, and it didn't belong to The Rolling Stones.

It was Farnham's You're the One. They could have thrown in Andy Stewart's The Battle's Oer, but Capovilla is very much alive and kicking.

Still, Capovilla was almost playing when that was a hit in 1961. Or it just seems he's been playing forever.

``But in all seriousness, he is and will always be a legend of the club,'' Cromack said.

Affectionately known as Moose, Capovilla represented the polarities on Saturday.

One of his Cabramatta opponents was rising youngster Cruise Iosefa, at 17 barely half Capovilla's age.

The Moose has done better than his nickname-sake Rex Mossop.

His career doesn't match the lustre of Mal Meninga's or Ricky Stuart's, but like them he's retired a grand-final winner.

That's if the lure of battle doesn't overcome the peaceful life without bruises.
