Ben Murdoch-Masila

[Radical Rat]

So I know most people on here are against throwing in youngsters before they're ready. But we've seen what Fifita is doing now, easily our biggest impact player.

Instead of playing the absolutely useless extra winger on the bench who either gets three minutes or doesn't play at all. Is it worth giving Murdoch 10-15 minutes a game?

This kid is gonna be a revelation, kind of reminds me of Warea-Hargraves but heaps bigger and faster. Yes he's mega raw, but f*ck me it's gotta be more useful than the benches we're picking now.

If not now, maybe later in the season?

 

[gronkathon]

Would rather a forwards promotion from Wests or Balmain thanks

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Let him destroy 20's some more.

 

[westie]

I like the look of him. Wouldn't mind seeing him play against men to make sure he isn't just another big boy running over smaller boys.

 

[Reek_Havoc]

Why was he starting on the bench last week in the NYC ? Wouldn't think he is ready just yet.

 

[BuffaloRules]

I haven't gone off this early since I was 15.

Next year. Maybe.

 

[slammingsam]

Give him a year or two..
NYC isnt the best gauge of where a player is at and the potential of them.

Ive watched alot of him in 20s and at Arrive Alive Cup level.
The abilities he has for such a big man is scary.
Let him learn how to handle himself though.

Can just imagine when he comes up though:

Tackle 1: Kick to Tuiaki, he returns it.
Tackle 2: Dummy half run Tuqiri
Tackle 3: Hit up from Keef
Tackle 4. Hit up from Fifita
Tackle 5: Hit up from Murdoch

How's that for a set.

Now the reality:

Tackle 1: Fitzhenry goes into dummy half, drops it cold.

Only effective if we can hold the ball for more then 2 sets In a row. Even our current forward pack has the ability, again we can't seem to build pressure and If we do and don't score on the third set everyone freaks out and f**k the whole thing up.

More along the lines of in 2011:

Tackle 1: Moltzen catches ball, runs 30m sideways looking for winger, passes ball to winger, winger gets creamed.
Tackle 2: Dummy half run from Ryan for 2m gain
Tackle 3: Short ball to Heighington who runs straight at the markers
Tackle 4: Benji at first receiver, runs across field 25m, dummy's 16 times and steps 7 times. Inside ball to Fulton who gets hammered.
Tackle 5: Fitzhenry into dummy half, scoots, drops ball during tackle.

 

[N.C.]

Oh, but hasn't our defence improved?

and after 80min with a winger sitting on the bench waiting to play, we loose, tim sheens announced he signs a 2 year deal with the tigers, and not held accountable with the same excuses.

 

[macnaz]

and after 80min with a winger sitting on the bench waiting to play, we loose, .

Yeah i reckon Tim will drop the winger, what was he adding for 80 minutes when the side needed him :crazy:

 

[Borat.]

Murdoch would dead set be puffed running around the block- I reckon owen Cragie would lap round the block ....

Once his fitnees is up to a respectable level then no doubt he deserves a first grade spot......but who knows when that would be....

When does Benji get his hands on the ball?

 

[gronkathon]

When does Benji get his hands on the ball?

Running of Chicken Tikka Masala's hip ??

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I like the look of this kid.

He is built like a f**king truck.

 

[ShanghaiCharlie]

I like a bench of
Fifita
Dwyer
Murdoch-Masila
Moors
Payton

 

[Borat.]

Thought he was a bit gun shy - but haven't watched the game or replay- hard to tell at the ground...
