Doubt it will happen, Benji would suck at Rugby.

Interesting to note that Benji will be halfback next year and Sheens is looking at getting Joey or Stacey Jones to help coach him, not a bad move at all, only about a year or two too late, but still better than never.

Benji is going nowhere.

Matty your way harsh, have you ever heard Benji actually mention that he wants to go ? No you havent, relax champ ;)

That stuff about Benji to half was thrown up a month or so ago. Hardly ground breaking journalism... It wouldn't surprise me if Benji stays with the club but he's apparently looking for a cash cow. The Titans aren't as useful as french rugby for driving up your asking price, evidently...

I honestly dont care if he wants to go and try- good on him. If he wants to go next year whilst he is under contract all I hope is that he acts in good faith and begins negotiations asap for a mutually acceptable release. That would give us some time to sort out replacement.

Shame if he went, i mean we could replace him but we loose a huge draw card and a great football entertainer. It would free up some huge dollars as well. Seriously tho why dont these players just say they want cash and not say they would love to play French Rugby!! i couldnt think of anything more demeaning to a first class player to run around in second division watching old geriatric frog head stompers roll around on top of the ball hoping it will get passed to you oneday.

read the article, he has shown interest, thats enuf for me!

I read the article 2 days ago, i just read it again and i still cant see a quote or anything indicating Benji himself has shown any interest whatso ever... can you please point it out to me ?

I see the media beating it up but i dont see anythign from Benji.

His form at present isnt sending his value up so his manager is doing the talk to see if that might do the trick. As for myself, I still think he is quality even if his form is a bit patchy and would love to see him stay

Matty cant differentiate between direct quotes, and journalistic license.

if everytime a player manager said his client was interested in rugby union or the esl came true we would have about four players running round in the nrl

So what your saying is Benji has NEVER said anything to give an indication he wants to leave :)

There is a massive difference between journalists beating up a story with no direct quotes from the person involved and fact... :crazy:

He couldnt go soon enough for me, we'd save a heaps on the replacement and he might even be able to tackle and kick. If the only reason we keep him is because he is a drawcard for merchandise how poor are we going.
