Benji to sign for another 5 ..

[benched tiger]

Benji's two biggest problems are his fitness and his ego,the sooner he gets them in order the better.Any footballer who makes out he has a personel assistant needs a reality check.

Ive said it before......Benji is no longer capable of making this team better and not the person to take us into the future.
A club legend....but time to move on and get a new mojo and culture around the club.

Lawrence: Benji worth every cent...

Glad the overpaid and overrated are now talking each other up in the media...

Next we will have Blair talking about extending Moltzen's contract through to 2020...

I had to laugh at this. I love Benji and Lawrence but they both need to kick their careers into gear.

If he must stay I could live with Benji 2014 and 2015 on very MODEST money. He no longer deserves marquee money. This is while Siro, Brooks and Moses find their feet only. If they come on quicker he plays centre and is a role player.

Its not all doom and gloom. People are talking Brooks up but imo he is not ready for first grade. Marshall and Anasta are the way to go, Braith is senior enough to demand the ball which may teach Marshall how to play nicely with a halfback, and when Anasta retires at the end of next year hopefully Brooks will be ready, and more to the point Marshall may be ready to allow Brooks the freedom to form a combination rather than the Marshall show with sidekick we currently have.

Sironen has no future at five eighth at Wests so he either moves on or plays lock or centre. Moses has the ability to play centre or fullback so keeping him if he wants to stay is not an issue.

Maybe in a couple of years we may see

Tedesco
Korobeite
Sironen
Moses
Lawrence
Marshall
Brooks

 

[benched tiger]

Nofauluma for Lawrence imo.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

If this club was serious, Marshall would be told to perform or he should be pissed off. What has he done to deserve a five year contract?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

If Benji gets 4 mill with his current form, I tell you what, there is no justice in Rugby League.

 

[DanOz]

Agree that a 5 year contract is not what I would be looking at, nor does his current form warrant the money, but chances are its going to happen. I just hope we get some value for money out of it.

 

[DanOz]

Nofauluma for Lawrence imo.

Havent seen much of him - is he ready yet, or does he need some time?

 

[madunit]

He's more a winger than a centre I reckon anyway. Would've replaced Utai if it weren't for the signing of Richards.

He doesn't deserve a 5 year contract at this point.

He has always been inconsistent although there was a year or two when I thought he was consistently great. In saying that I don't think he has been as bad as stated this year. Last week I saw so many passes that he had to reach for and that would stuff anyone up. I also thought his short passing game was on the money.

 

[benched tiger]

Nofauluma is a winger,appears to be atheletic with a nice,strong running action and a good turn of pace.He has been hindered by injury recently,when he makes FG we will have two wingers capable of finding the try line.

I'm going to call or email the talk back shows this afternoon regarding Marshall and the fact he should be dropped.

Hopefully, if I email, they will mention it. I want to hear if Blocker defends him. I want to hear what Fulton has to say.

I think, no believe, that Bellemy, Maguire and Bennett would drop Marshall. Will Potter?

 

[benched tiger]

It's hard to defend Marshal and whether or not he should be in the side.At present i say no based on form.Another issue is that he may not be the best person to help
compliment the young guys like Brooks,Moses,Sirro etc transition into FG.Anasta along with Farah would provide more of a stable and structured influence.

I caught the 1st 15 minutes of the 2GB show this afternoon. Good to hear Hadley ask where was Benji.

Then I caught the last bit just after 4:30 and they were talking about the Tigers. Fulton suggested that Benji should now be playing at fullback.

Anyone else hear any of that?

 

[madunit]

Fulton's gone loopy

And this is the guy that picks the NSW team. FMD, no wonder we've had a tough time beating QLD.

On his day Marshall can be outstandingly good,but those days have always been to far between.
He has always been inconsistent with his form.
There is no way he is worth that sort of coin,a good player but not a great player!
