What if Benji has been the problem all year?

I would send him back to the UK…he has largely been disappointing this year
Better to find out sooner than later... RIP a band aid off don't peel slowly
I’m sure Benji doesn’t tell some of our players to play like pussies and play soft.
For us to move forward we need to take a hard stance and drop anyone who plays soft no matter who they are.

The bloke is not soft. He's being played out of position. Why the coaches decided to make wholesale changes after the Canberra loss beats me. It has been downhill ever since.

We haven’t done that for 24 years. Why would we start now?
Any NRL player, particularly a forward who refuses to run the ball hard is soft, no excuses.

Once Sheens is out of the way , then we can make calls
Benji could be sitting there watching sheens team calls and plays and who is on the field
until Benji is up front and making calls .? Maybe we different

I see him posting on insta... Doesnt look like he's back training yet or am I missing something??
Is this guy getting special treatment?

There’s no training right now. Everyone is on leave due to the holidays. Think training resumes after next week or the week after that.

I’m sure we cut Bateman some slack and I’m okay with that because it’s obvious the guy gives his all every single game. In saying that he missed last off-season completely and didn’t start the first month. Hopefully he gets two months training in with the boys before rd 2. We’ll need him near his best.

He might give his all but he needs to cut the dumb stuff stop giving away penalties and pushing stupid passes

He was very error prone last year I agree. He’s a winner in a bad team trying to make something happen. His form for England was very encouraging.

Tried too much in an unbalanced side last year.
Hung out to dry due to a lack of support.
Will appreciate Luai and Sezer doing most things so he can hopefully be a weapon on the edge.

Another wasted preseason for the special lad that gets to holiday in Europe while the rest of the team puts in the work.

Love the guy's passion but it does lead to a lot of dumb shit on field and as others have said, if anyone needs a full, injury free off season, it is probably him.
Having said all that, I agree that we need him at close to his best but I am afraid that even though he may occasionally have a good game, his best is well and truly behind him.
Was always very wary about signing him and considered it too big a risk but I would be very happy if he could prove me wrong over the remainder of his contract, or however long he decides to honour it for.
