Be interesting how the cap side works.
At this stage though we hardly have a cap issue though we have a heap of space to use.

Think his new contract takes him thru to end of next season
Huge risk for a further extension without seeing how he recovers and endures
Personally I'd be presuming he won't be playing for us again and recruiting his replacement at 6

He is lucky he found a couple of suckers to extend him for another year or he’d be done now.

How many shoulder reconstructions did Benji have?

Extremely fortunate......suspect we wanted to lock in one of our halves just in case..now were still looking for two

Comparing AD to Benji is surely a joke…

I still think he has something to offer the team. But if he is going to be hesitant in fear of injuring himself again then I don't know.

How many GF’s has AD won with a flick pass?
Actually I think it might be easier to count how many tackles they made at 5/8, I know that Benji has made at least one good tackle, still waiting for AD.
Still luv ya Benji!!!

Tough ask, normally it takes a good 12mths after replacement just to get back to speed. At this stage will be potentially 26-28 pending timeframes coming back without playing no more than half a season 3yrs prior. Not saying he couldn’t offer something but expectations would be low & no club would be banking on him.

Pay him out … he’s cooked

I find it hard to believe that someone who’s has watched his games this year thinks he has something to offer any club? He can’t tackle and it’s gets worse the closer he gets to try line, he can’t set up his outside man, he’s slow, he can’t cement a position, his goal and general play kicking is average, injury prone, and he thinks he’s a gun?
He does seem to have some passion but he has so much to work on and it was plainly evident for all to see for 2 months prior to this injury that no club would have signed him if we didn’t.

For sure he is a liability in defense but I rate his running game and we are struggling to score points. He is a big body and is hard to tackle.

Was not is. I imagine if he comes back his punch and running style will need to change.

Yeah, but that’s it, all he’s got and everyone knows it. If the balls goes his way it stops at him, he can’t set up his outside man and squeezes them out for room so he ends up hogging the ball a lot, and his running game is only ok, so he is not scoring enough to make up for all his flaws.

It works differently for some clubs than others, depends if it’s an elite club.
We all know that the NRL is corrupt.

Sounds like a Back Rower....
If only he could see it..

(Might have done 2 less ACL's)

 

[TigerMitch05]

i just hope he is mentally well going into rehab for the third time, it will be a tough 12-16 months for the big fella. <3

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

After multiple ACL injuries the bone tunnels drilled in previous surgeries can widen, complicating placement & fixation of the “new” ACL. Overall return to play time is >12 months as there needs to be 3-4 months between the 2 surgeries to allow the bone grafts to “knit”/heal.

He was good before his knees failed him. Now he's slow, and the best part of his game was his power running.

Yep. He is a player who has really gone backwards at this club but I'm not blaming the club. He doesn't seem to want to focus on being the best player he can be via working on his craft. He seems to be more interested in money and leadership.

Don't know about that...
Just a young bloke with talent who came through in the halves and probably grew a bit different to stay in that position.... Takes a bit for them to come around - Some of them a bit longer....
The game is full of them.

Wade Graham went to Cronulla as a half, Ended up an Origin back rower inside a few years...
Needs to look at the big picture.
