Benji is getting even worse

[Magpies Forever]

Dunno. If we can get cap relief and play the young-un's I'm leaning towards it. If we are playing Beni just so he can get to 200 games its a bit rich. He has to be selected on form, not the old mates club at it again. The mates club is how we got into this mess. It is a professional game, not park football with mates. Fulton should not have put this pressure for Benji on the coaching staff and club.

madunit, the SMH 'Talkin Teams guy stated:

2:15pm: Talkin' Teams: I was out at Wests Tigers training this morning and judging by what I saw, Luke Brooks will play this Friday night. Mick Potter had several one-on-one conversations with him throughout the session, and not many words exchanged with Marshall. Curtis Sironen didn't train either and spent most of the morning indoors with the physiotherapist. Hooker Joel Luani spent the session at dummy half with Farah out injured. Braith Anasta (flu) and Aaron Woods (knee) also didn't train. If I was a betting man I assume Brooks will be in the No.7, Marshall at No.6 and Luani in the No.9. That is of course the Tigers gain a second-tier salary cap exemption from the NRL

Also reported that Lote is playing NSW Cup. A quick look shows him in the center and Bell returning plus no Koro and surely he wasn't hurt sitting in the stand on the Goldie on Sunday? Maybe he will be on the wing on Friday night?

Koro is playing.

I tip Ayshford is 18th man

 

[gronkathon]

Scratch that.

Woods & Lawrence out for the rest of the season

 

[Tiger05]

Scratch that.

Woods & Lawrence out for the rest of the season

This might actually help us out. Give some other players a go and let them rest.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Even though he's been out for a year, I'd rather play Lote in the centres ahead of Ayshford.

 

[ek999]

Hasn't been named in NSW Cup this week so who knows

 

[ek999]

Benji's been named in the side.

 

[super_coach]

Anasta and Marshall have been selected as the no7 and 6, what a joke,even Parra sack their big names when they are playing busted but we keep picking our busted players

 

[gronkathon]

Dear Parra. Please run Fui at Marshall all night and smash him until he leaves the field

I actually hope he pulls his finger out and has a great game for once but I guess positivity isn't your thing!

I'm with you hutch. I don't think it's likely to happen but I am still hopeful. Anasta needs to show that he is better than state cup as but I am doubtful of that as well.

 

[gronkathon]

Yeah I have hoped that for the last 5 weeks or so.

Now I have given up and want him gone

 

[super_coach]

We would be better playing a man short than playing Benji,a man short dosnt throw balls into a players head or row 10 of the bleachers,and let's face they would come up with the same tackle count!!!

 

[hutch]

I suppose I can't blame you given the crap that has been dished up in previous weeks.

 

[Matchball]

2 runs for 11 metres. LOL.
Benji isn't getting worse, he is rockbottom.

 

[benched tiger]

Usually he runs riot over Parra so it will be interesting to see how he performs and how far he has fallen if he doesn't bother trying.Can't help but feel if it was not for this salary cap debacle he would be gone.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Missed the game, How did benji go tonight? Any improvement?

Better then previous weeks, but he still wouldn't run. Against the worse defence in the league he could have carve them up; but it was just offload after offload.

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Outplayed by Roberts. New career low.
