I'd paste it, but for some reason its not letting me copy it.

hope he can come back to league.

Give it up for the Tiger Sharks and Benji…hahaha...

 

[Tigersman]

LMFAO!! As if the Sharks could get anymore dis-functional.

 

[Newtown]

Probably the reason why Benji may go to Sharks is because he is a good mate of Fifita?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Surely the Sharks have enough of our rejects who are weighing their club down. Not saying Marshall is a reject, but he's long finished as a player.

 

[H-Tozza]

If its true (which has a serious question mark given the source) then it COULD work if they used him as an outside back in a non-ball playing role…..showed some potential there against the Dragqueens when he played there last year and looked ominous every time he got the ball....

Crapulla would just be falling deeper in their plight though it they used him in the halves....He was merely a ball shuffler there for us in 2012/13 and offered nothing out of the ordinary in the general kicking department.....Was given too much autonomy and showed that he wasn't up to directing the team in attack (in fairness this wasn't helped by not having a genuine half outside him)......

They will need to start work on a second dressing room first, as that Is how close they were when with us.

Not before 2016 when the original contract runs out

 

[Flippedy]

Seriously, the Sharkies have no scruples :laughing:

 

[tigersrule4life]

Haha the only players they sign are our rejects and look were they are on the ladder haha. One of there best signing so far is Blake Ayshford and his crap defence and not doing much in attack.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

LOL… Benji must hate organising his own lunches.

 

[domster]

I was expecting Warriors but this takes the cake :slight_smile:

Hang about….
Benji spent most of his career playing behind:
- a badly beaten forward back
- A makeshift half back
Playing under a coach:
- Who spent his whole career trying in vain to turn him into a 7, Kicker, And general Playmaker...

...He was never any of these things, He was a floating ball runner who played what he saw!!

I'm glad Benji has moved on, I feel his dominance hampered our progression as a team.

To say he's finished is a joke, He's be a walk up 6 in most teams in the comp... Including ours.
If he were to play behind the team we have on the park this year, He would be a very different player!!

If Potters style of coaching didn't sit well with Benji last year, then why would it this year?

I believe the issue is his presence would never allow us to be the team we are this year.

His contract value and his dominance in playcalling saw to that

benji moved on, it was his decision.
so have wests-tigers.
the team has shown he is not needed there, to be successful. :smiley:
**simple as that.**

I agree, he's the type of player who has to be the main man, and we basically lived and died by his form once Prince left the club. We heard over and over again from play makers in the media that he's at his best when he plays direct, yet he still loved the side to side nonsense. Theoretically we could play our current game plan with him in the side, but in practice is just can't happen, which is a shame.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Some of his mistakes in the last couple seasons was school boy stuff. Failing to find touch, passing into the second row of seats, kicking out on the full. These things happened on a weekly basis, not just every now and then. The marquee players just don't do that. I think people still let their bias dictate their opinion of him, if he played for someone else, i dare say you'd be saying he was finished too. Never in my life have i seen a player with so much ability regress the way he did. It was sad to see.
