Benji got it done more like it. Like he has with all the others. They talk about Benji not Richo. It’s the coach they are watching, sussing out. . He can relate

Yeah that's right and a concert crowd cheer for the band..not those who make it all happen. We've had the players in years gone by but totally rudderless

Our squad has improved massively and I reckon Benji has been the one getting it done. Most of them appear to like him.

There are exceptions - Stef and Galvin leaving. Bula hasn't signed.
Spot on.
If he suceeds this year even better.

I think a lot of these Tongan Samoan and Maori players for whatever reason may have been “dragged up” a bit as youngsters weather living in the wrong neighbourhood, or wrong family tree, or wrong crowd etc etc .. that describes Benji too. What a role model. & With that soft touch that’s hard to come by

Yep....i'm onboard with Benji's influence and leadership. Richo was the part this club had been missing for 20 years. Here's hoping the new guy is up to keeping it all off the rocks

Agree, but Richo was the one who was rearranging the deck chairs to allow new players to come and have a seat.

Has to to be in the team to start the season. Skelton is a plodder.
Benji should pick the players who have been training the house down and who are in form. Reputations may go out the window for once.
Also team chemistry has a lot to do with it so at this stage you would think Makasini will get the gig.
He is in my supercoach team so he has to play 😃

Able to take offers at the end of this season, hes going to look great in roosters or wallabies colours in a couple years.

He's already knocked everyone back to stay here, but dream on if it gets you through your day.

Yes turning everyone down as a 17 year old means he wont ever leave. I guess id be confident as a tigers fan if i had your sterling record of keeping the best talent you develop....

He's here now for 2 seasons, but guessing what might happen in the future, is just that, a guess.
The only one who left us, that I wanted to keep was Teddy.

We'll wait and see what happens. He might leave. He might go to rugby. Melbourne lost Korobiete who was a superstar, the rorters lost Sualli and they are losing Marky Mark.

It's hard to keep elite level players like that. Hopefully Makasini proves he is at that level.

He has chosen to start his career here and he looks like he could be at the level of those guys.

Who would you choose between Teddy in his prime and this boy? And whoever you choose he stays! And you’ve got one minute to decide.
