Benji, Benji, Benji

Wow.

What a talent.

A die-hard Eels fan I may be, but I watched your match against the Shakrs (partially because one of my favourite ex-Eels, Patty Richards, was playing), and what can I say?

I was thoroughly entertained.

Especially by your young, exciting five-eighth.

Gee how I wish we could have a creative and dangerous 5/8.

Good on you all!

John Morris has played well at five-eighth for you blokes, hasn't he?

But yes, Benji is fantastic. And he is still learning...

Im still getting over his work on the Fitzhenry try. I wasnt cheering that try, i couldnt, i was laughing at what i'd just seen, talk about freakish!

It was a classic like 4 not steps but sideways jumps then wrongfooted every shark defender, clapped on the pace then a jump & goose step then a bullet pass to the wing and presto. It was magic. I have never seen such good footwork, not even the master Andrew Johns could have done that. AWESOME!

If anyone has a video clip / mpeg of that TRY pleeeease post it for us to download.

Johnny's been OK, but I myself have always been partial to a good hole-running 5/8, such as Benji.

Johnny isn't quite that sort of player.

Anyway, congrats on the win - in an Eels-less weekend, I was thoroughly entertained watching this match.

Andrew Voss said that Benji's little brother is only 12
and can already step better than him, If this is true, he is gonna be something............. sign him up.

I just read on RugbyHeaven that Benji is being courted by the NZRU to switch to union and try for the All Blacks after this season. Is that likely?
