Ben Smith: Take a bow

[Parra Guru]

Cooper is just as good in defence.

Ben's hatty against the Dragons in 05 will remain on the memory for ages. One of my favourite games!

 

[JessEel]

He is without a doubt only number 2 to Matt Cooper as the best defensive centre in the game. He appears to be getting back to his 2005 form. He is very important to our side and is a steadying influence on the makeup of our backline. His attack is also on the improve.

Ben Smith, take a bow.

:thumb :thumb

gosh avenger, why don't you just marry him :lol:




nah i agree, his defense inside Eric Grothe is the reason we are doing so well. he is the solid defender of the lot of them. he loves coming in and putting the big monster tackle on this year doesn't he? he's so big he can just wrap up an opposing centre and bear hug them to the ground!

i would dearly love to see him get to his 2005 form, would i be right in saying that extra bulk may have lead to his slower speed? (as well as the injuries from last season)

Benny and Wags - defence -

 

[Parra Guru]

Benric are a good pair

 

[strider]

Benric are a good pair

ok - its definitely a groupie thread now :lol:

 

[Parra Guru]

[JessEel]

If you are playing inside grothe you have to be the best defensive centre in the game.

too right.

 

[sooperdooper]

i think he defends better than cooper...

here here!! thats why they make such a great couple!

Benric!

 

[hybrideel]

i gave him heaps after the roosters trial but he has really stepped up and proved me wrong. it's good to see him back in form. little bit more in attack and we'll be sweet

 

[sooperdooper]

i dont see whats so special about matt cooper? is it his chisled body and good looks?
i mean i dont really rate him up there... not saying ben is better... but whats with the hype of cooper always in line for SOO and AUS

 

[Parra Guru]

you can tell by Cooper's composure in big games that he should be one of the first picked for NSW

 

[Twizzle]

Did you see him run for the line the other night when he scored...he's funny :lol:

he's scored a few tries but they've all been from Timmy's kickes

I dont think I've seen him make a line break this year

when he picks up in that area, he'll be rep material imo

 

[hineyrulz]

I'd have to agree, if Benny's not the best defensive centre in the game he's damn close. I'd love to see him hit the line with pace with the ball in his hand. Because he is one big unit, and could be very damaging.

 

[strider]

MOTM tonight .... great attack tonight too :thumn

 

[NT_Eelsfan]

Benric Carved Up Tnite

 

[Utey]

Geez he was good. One of the best games he's played for the club.

 

[Twizzle]

one of his best games for sure
