every time Benny Elias is on SBS's toyota world sports he confuses the f**k out of Les Murray by calling rugby league 'football'

It's RUGBY LEAGUE Benny the greatest game of all!!!!!

Benny embarasses himself by telling everyone Farah has some of his brilliance.Give it a rest Benny.
Farah will be better,then what are you gunna say.

Um not so. Benny was the most gifted and competitive traditional hooker ever. And don't mention any Walters bullsh*t, they had nothing on Benny.

But Farah is something else. His hands are amazing and he tackles like a machine. Just needs to keep the mis tackles down and he'll be the complete package, and may even be comparable the Benny one day.

You cannot compare the two, Benny had different rules, where the hooker had a bigger role in the game, he could rake the ball back in the play the ball, he could win a scrum against the feed etc. Todays hookers are at dummy half a lot and act like a second five eighth almost. They are more involved in defence too.

He was a legend on the field only!!
As a human being, well that's a different story!!!

Steve Walters is regarded as one of if not THE best hooker of all time... Benny Elias, as good a player he was (being a junior hooker myself, he was a favourite of mine a kid) couldnt match it with Walters

You are up there with Ray Hadley.

Ben Elias was the best hooker of the past 25 years.

He was also better than any player that ever played for Western Suburbs in their 91 years of existence.

Indeed. It was the above mentioned personality problems that prevented him from being correctly recognised as the best hooker of the last 25 years, possibly ever.

What Benny did on the field was revolutionary and will never be seen again, although Robbie Tiger Farah has so much f**king potential its ridiculous.

Elias had the skills of a halfback and you only have to watch Buderus, Wing and Farah play to see the legacy he left.

Elias is easily the most skilled and best hooker of his era.
