Benji is getting even worse

[gronkathon]

How did the crowd react last night when his name was read out?

Yeah a good and loud cheer.

Hopefully he can find even a half of good football a game

2012 was the season we had to endure to get rid of Sheens.
2013 is the season we have to endure to get rid of Benji.

Best summary I have read, well said that man.

I take it a lot of the muppets on here didn't turn up.

This muppet turned up but when calling people muppets, you come up with putting Farah and Woods in the same basket as Marshall:lol:

As for Benji he was poor but so were Farah and Woods.

Farah might have made some stupid comments on MMM and as team captain that is unacceptable but, how many tackles did he make? how many runs, metres and 2 days after playing the biggest game of the year. I'll help you:

Farah 80 minutes, 41 tackles, 9 runs for 76 metres
Woods 52 minutes, 26 tackles, 16 runs for 140m
Benji, 80 minutes, 13 tackles and what he is there for, 4 runs for 29m;-)

Did anyone see Brian Smith's tweet at the nine commentaters last night for not bagging Benji's poor form,I wonder if he got a reply.

I heard some goose on MMM this arvo saying Benji started well......if memory serves me correctly he threw a crap pass on our first setwhich gifted them possession in our twenty

His performance was laughable. In the car on the way home the radio chaps said first thing he did when he got in the sheds was check his phone. Team player

Heard that too....clearly he was right in the game, focussed, driven, hungry

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

He did everything i expected of him
1 shit pass into touch
A midfield bomb
3 passes to no-one
Shit goalkicking
Lots of 10 metre touchfinders from penalties
A kick out on the full
Zero line breaks or assists
Zero threat to the defence

On a positive - he did find touch from every penalty and his defence was at a standard for first grade.

Expect much the same next week and rest of the year unless Potter does the right thing and drops him to reserve grade where he belongs.

I take it you didn't show up either?

Why break a lifetime habit I suppose.

Saving for retirement.

To be honest, Farah was not playing like his usual self. He was fairly slow and just stuck to a more traditional hooker role. Shows how desperately we need a permanent halfback as our attacking structure looked completely out of wack (hence the constant errors).

Anasta should be moved to 7 and Siro to the bench as a back rower. If he is not in our long term plans in the halves then we should start blooding him as a backrower

Sironen should be at lock where his ball skills & running game will not be lost.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Saving for retirement.

And what will that involve?

I suppose you're a carpenter now. All you seem interested in is keeping dead wood.

 

[Tiger05]

And what will that involve?

Supporting the Tigers.

Sironen should be at lock where his ball skills & running game will not be lost.

Ellis used to run some great lines. Sironen can do that plus he can read the play well enough to put someone through a hole. Get him ready in the off season.

 

[Matchball]

Just when you think he can't get any worse at passing and defending.
Uselessness.

 

[macnaz]

Go now !!

 

[hutch]

I tried to hold on longer than most, mainly in hope that he would come good. But see ya later mate, thanks for the memories! He should be dropped!

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Even the Nofo try was a terrible option on first tackle by Benji.
Nofo brilliance saved face.

Must be dropped immediately. Not up to first grade standard.

 

[R2Coupe]

He's not alone. Tedesco and Anasta have also been poor. I live for the day Tedesco will actually beat a man. Bring on Kurtis Rowe.

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Tedesco hasnt beaten a man since NYC. Hasnt developed this season at all. A worry.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

What about that joke of a pass just before the try by Farah. The Auckland Blues can have him.

 

[Tiger05]

Benji wasn't great out there but he wasn't terrible. He has just lost his running game. He didn't really make that many mistakes either.
