Despite his errors, he's showing us HE WILL be our next "Tuiaki" very soon.
Benjis demeanour and leadership has impressed me this year. Win lose or draw he has the teams effort and unity at a high level.

Makasini is only expected to miss one game with the injury, but he could spend some time in NSW Cup to regain confidence, with the Tigers welcoming back experienced centre Starford To’a this week.
“A lot of people sometimes look at reserve grade for example, and if someone goes back to reserve grade, it’s looked at as a punishment,” the Tigers coach said.
“Sometimes it’s actually the best thing for you to go and learn your trade, get some confidence. Like for Starford’s case, going and getting some game time and some match fitness.
“So it’s not always a demotion, sometimes it’s what’s best for you at the time. And Heamasi is no different.”
I saw the video tonight on the news and I still hold the view there was nothing doing. Even your still frame has two defenders marking him including one who hadn’t missed him all night. Most likely result is Staggs smashing him. I would put it in the speculative rather than likely category. In fact a little after this he gets bundled into touch with even more space. I’m equally convinced Bula threw pass to avoid contact on his shoulder.
That is true. A quick tap and he’s 20m plus down field. It should have of course be pointed out he’d just taken a very high pressure catch beforehand.
Competition for spots mate, thats what the successful teams have
Makasini can take Toa's centre spot
I have noticed that in every game this year, opposition players seem to put a bit of extra mayo in contact on him. The fact he got up every time is a testament to him. Eventually that weighs you down though.
Not yet JT, I don’t rate Toa highly but I don’t the kid is ready for the centres. He should focus on wing play at present. It’s like Turuva, he’s a much better winger than centre.
with bula potentially out that might change
Handy little switch around through injuries, but if Api gets suspended and probably will (what a joke) there's our problem....
Don't want Makasini playing centre in first grade, that should be a last resort.

He & his brother Kitt have signed with the Perth Bears from 2028.
Yes we haven't seen depth in the outside backs this good in some time. We used to have to rely Naden, Staines, Lobb & Mason the last two seasons.
It's a shame we're letting go of Luke L he is a goer
