Geez i hope someone takes him out. If the tigers lose you will not hear a thing from the media about how shit he went. Some tigers fans should watch last year semi as that is what they have hung there hats on this year and realise that Benji actually lost the game for them and sowie actually pumped them straight after. The media are up there arses but they cannot beat us, we can lose it but it will only be our fups that lose it. as evident from our last meeting. forget the last 15 minutes tigers were getting nowhere
A plan perhaps, but maybe not a great one? Focus on him. Have the line compress and attack him. Then give the likes of Farah, Lui, Moltzen and even Fulton space and time for wide running backrowers and a couple of very good centres.
It's not too different for the Dragons. Push up on Soward and he has the toe to move through tiny gaps. It gives Hornby space. It gives Boyd space. As for the last game, the Tigers defended quite well to be close enough and good enough. They've been getting conditioned pretty hard by Steve Folkes over the last 6 weeks and will be fresher from tapering off on conditioning I hope. Just like the Dragons.
I recall the Dragons tried to take out Marshall in '06. He finished the game with a fractured cheekbone after setting up a couple of good tries.
And he's much more measured in his game now. Hope the Tiges win in a thriller.
