Benji goes missing again?

Apparently Benji went missing again in the Aus vs Kiwi match. Admittedly behind a beaten pack but that doesn't bode well for WT's- our pack will not scare many.

for the first half, it looked like kiwi's game plan was to activly ignore benji.
fien and the halfback were getting too involved.

when benji got involved they looked dangerous

I dont know why the kiwis persist in picking Leuluai at halfback. Didnt they learn from the Anzac test this year, or the other times he has played for the kiwis? He is one of the worst half backs i've ever seen.

I agree with aids in that the game plan was too focused around Leuluai and Fien, 2 of the worst players on the field imo!

Benji didn't see a lot of ball, but when he did get the ball, he put Manu through a hole for their only try. For game 2 the Kiwis need to go with

7. Fein

Fein is not the answer. But neither is Leulali. Kiwis are in trouble.

Fein is capable at halfback, he was there in the dream run for the Warriors this year, and also for the Cowboys in 04, in between he hasn't been playing there much at all. He is their best option.

Apart from begging Stacey to come back.

When you get dominated up front thats what happens, get used to it, you will see a lot of the same come 2009. Lets face it how many good games has Benji turned in aginst the good sides over the past few years???. Now thats not meant to be a spray at Benji, put him behind a class pack and he would be great. The people who buy the cattle at our club are the ones who need the spray

Benji did well with what he was given, Leuili played the worst halfback game i have ever seen he was a complete non factor which made it hard for Benji to get anything decent... with what he had he did well, good kickign game.
