Strong fart to hit Benji defending on the wing...

mxlegend99 said::roll:It's a combination of things. Versatility. Starring at every level. Being a stronger athlete. Better defender.
Benji is a great attacking 5/8 when healthy. Don't get me wrong. Inglis is just a great player no matter where he is. This is from a non QLD, non Storm fans point of view.
I believe Inglis scored two Origin tries on debut - not to mention his brilliant Tri-Nations.Thierry Henry said:Starring at every level? I already pointed out that Benji has performed great feats in finals football and in his one full international match. I would hardly say Inglis dominated in Origin either. I also don't see how Inglis is particularly versatile, he's a fast, linebreaking three quarter atm who is being experimented with as a playmaker. Inglis is bigger and faster, but Benji has better footwork and imo general vision, passing, and sleight of hand.
sheet_ed said:I think Benji will come on top as 5/8th is concerned but Inglis will not play the whole game as 5/8th - the trial games see the back-line be rearranged about 2/3rd of the way through so I hope that Benji can play wing, centre and fullback if he wants to mark Inglis.
The Storm pack is very lethal. The last game against the Broncos saw a heavier, more aggressive pack than in 2006 with a stronger wrestling technique to slow down the opposition.
If Benji runs into Crocker, Lima, White or Kafusi that shoulder will go off like a champagne cork and pop out of Olympic Park.
No one wants to see Benji hurt he is a pleasure to watch so I hope he really is prepared for crunch time.
Having said that there is quite a bit of Karma between the Storm and the Tigers over the past couple of years, i.e. stupid Storm brain explosions from Billy Slater and Danny Williams, as well as McCracken suing Stephen Kearney and Marcus Bai for the spear tackle. So expect the judiciary to see someone on Monday.

shiznit said:WTF??
im just sick of all this Inglis load of sh*t...
sure hes a talented young OUTSIDE BACK.
WERE TALKING 5/8 PEOPLE!!
what all you Inglis lovers are suggesting so far is that he can create things like Benji.
What a load of crap....
nothing that Inglis has done has shown me has the same creative skills Benji does.
has anyone seen any moment from Inglis that was better then what Benji has done.
Inglis is a great outside back... an outstanding talent. he just doesnt create opportunities like Benji does.
probably one of the greatest moment in football i have ever seen was from Benji when he set up that try for his winger against the sharks in 2005. nothing Inglis has done has even come close to that moment.
then you have the moment in the grandfinal. on the biggest stage in rugby league... Inglis was pretty quiet when his turn came last year.
as for reps... how bloody hard is it to look good on the end of lockeyers bullets.

......In a game BASED on speed and power I'll take the bigger, stronger, faster person 9/10 (didnt do Mals career any harm being the best combo of speed and strength in the game), and if you doubt Gregs skill make sure you watch a few Strom games this year as you couldn have watched too many last year.

"2 tries on debut that should have been scored by any winger.. and this is forgetting some of the bombs he dropped. His Tri Nations was fantastic but he has to prove himself consistently".
Yes that first try was so simple, I remember locky fired the ball about a foot behind him so Greg spun caught the ball in his fingertips with his back to the try-line, kept spinning, put the ball in his left hand put a fend on Mark Gasnier with his right and slammed the ball down in the corner ball. So simple Manu Vatuvai could have done it.
Also Hutty I looked up consistently in the dictionary and this is what it said "Greg Inglis in 2006: 18 tries in 12 games, 1 line break away from leading that cat. despite missing 2 months of football, top 2 metres/game, top 2 tackle busts/game, top 5 total meters/game".
So yeah Greg step it up this year you were a bit hot and cold last year.

Thierry Henry said:How ironic that you mention Vatuvei, because if speed and strength were the decisive factors in being a good player, than Manu is the best in the world.
