  • Thanks to him for his efforts at the club, always played tough with the ball in hand, all the best luck to him in the future.

  • Played well when fit. I thought he gave his all in 2017 and played well above his contract amount which would have been close to minimum
  • Had potential to be special when he was at bunnies however the incident & an unlucky run with injuries cost his career. 

  • Back injuries never really properly heal. If it's as bad as it sounds it's the right call. Thanks for your efforts Some.

  • Thanks for your efforts mate, good luck in the future

  • Thanks for your efforts Kiri. All the best for the future

    • You gave us your best K and you have our respect and thanks.

      Wish you the best with life in the future.

  • I hope he gets his back ok, I have been living with one since 1987, thanks for your contribution Kirisome, and hope your retirement will be a long and good one.

  • No big loss

    • If you don’t have something nice to say on someone’s retirement you should stfu....
