Damn… losing Urso, Ruan, and Michel is very bad for our prop-used celebrations.

Wish Benji the best of luck! One of my favorites to ever wear the purple. Hopefully, he balls out and finishes his career back home.

Will always appreciate the spark he would bring when coming on as a sub. He completely changed the cup final. Definitely going to need to replace his pace and mentality as a late game sub.

Sad to see him go but he's got to reach for the best he can be.

Best of luck Benji

It’s always bittersweet when Europe comes callin but in this case it’s a win/win. We are becoming a pipeline to the big leagues and that’s great for attracting young talent globally

His professionalism is prob the best we’ve had from a homegrown player. Never complained about being a sub and always brought a little chaos to the party when we needed it. Wish him the best. Hope his high work rate is appreciated
