Benji Retires

I saw him v Cowboys down at the gong.
He bludged the entire game to the point the people I was with wanted to collectively string him up.
We did not get value him him at all, especially went he went a lot better at other clubs
Sorry
I positive - He did alright for a weed of a size (in his young days) in a big man's sport.
Some Red V wearing players could do a lot better by seeing what Benji did across the length of his career

IMO bit of teflon about this guy & a media darling. Cant deny his successes and he deserved them but after that first season for us he was not NRL standard . After he left our supporters in the sideline stands could finally relax from all the passes they got ! Just my recollections on things.

Probably says more about the coaching and culture at the time that even Benji lost motivation.

Yep, and I may add that in a career spanning 18 years, there will be plenty of "poor moments", but they fade into insignificance when you look at the overall career.
