I'm not even a Tigers fan and I'm telling you it's sad to see the Tigers letting Benji leave this year.

[@WilsonMininga]

I'm a Broncos fan but I'm a fan of Benji as an individual and it was wonderful having Benji play for Brisbane in a few of his 300. Thank you Champ!

[@FoggiestTrack]

Making us all cry bro.

[@justlinsu]

Always been so grateful to Wayne Bennet for answering that phone call from Benji. "Hi Wayne any chance you might have a spot for me with the trainers for Souths?" "No I don't but I do have a spot for you on the team" He came to South won our hearts and shared his knowledge with the team. Didn't always make the run on side but to see our boys all doing Benji's 'Bunny Hop' was priceless. Love Benji Marshal.

[@FoggiestTrack]

Your alway so humble mate. Good on ya. The future is coming at u bro.
