Here's some comments from other forums in regards to Benji's first session yesterday.
Benji got flattened late in the session, think it was Host that squared him up. No quarter given to the big names.
Anyone else got an opinion on or knowledge of Zane Bijorac? a young centre/winger type who’s name I’ve been trying to get hold of for weeks but who’s been training with firsts. Really holds his own with the group and has a Campbell Graham build.
Shortly after I’d typed he was in the halves he switched back to fullback.
He did seem to get a quick rapport with Benji in the drills and in the short run they had together. Benji also stayed on later for kicking/bomb practice with the young fellas. He really can put a good shape on the ball, as can Ilias.
Zane Bjorak is from Queenbeyan and a part of our Flegg team. He’s quite a size for a young bloke.
Some of the photos the boys look a bit serious. Was there a good vibe around the place. Did the boys make Benji feel welcome. Did he combine well with Taafe.
Yes it was pretty intense today, a lot of the body contact made me wince with respect there could be injuries. The refs were involved today too so they were running a tight ship. A really good vibe about the place, not too big a fuss made of Benji.
Liam Knight stood out to me today. He’s training at max on everything, has a real bee in his bonnet.
Literally first thing Benji did was address the boys, talked about his respect and admiration for the team and the club and he fit right in straight away.
