twitter.comNot hugely surprised, he didn't have the impact of most other imports. Timing is a little odd though, maybe they have someine lined up who will be a difference maker? Alternately they believe in Pineau enough to get an import at a different spot?

Interesting to see if he pops up somewhere else around the league or just goes straight home.

I don't expect him to, word seems to be he was incredibly homesick and unhappy. Legit don't think I ever saw him smile, bloke was like Eeyore to talk to

Depends on if he was bought out or not. I know it says mutual agreement but was it because the rest of his salary for this year was paid or because Benson has another better or similar paying gi lined up elsewhere.

I'm surprised they are doing this now.
I guess now they are out of the top 4 and need something more to stay with the top teams they are looking for someone to help. I thought with Tai back they had that but I guess he's still not 100% and they need something else.
