Quite annoyed that people think Benji made a mistake in being out after 3am. I thouggt we lived in a free society where people can come and go as they please.
Putting blame on Benji suggests these idiots dont deserve the blame.
I hope this guys gets his just deserts and his name is published in the media.
You've got me wrong, i'm not blaming him for defending himself but players these days are well aware of the situations they can get themselves in when out at these times. If i'm not mistaken Benji has been in this situation before as have many other players and they know that being out at that hour is not on anymore.
Your deluded if you think we live in a free society and in a perfect world yes anyone should feel safe to go out and enjoy themselves at whatever hour you want but unfortunately we all know that isn't the case, and it doesn't matter what city or town you visit if your out at 3am on a weekend then your very likely to find yourself in the company of idiots behaving like idiots and quite possibly under the influence and looking for trouble or simply frustrated at whatever and looking to take that out on somebody or something.
What i'm saying is it's highly unlikely he would of got himself into this tangle if he was heading to the fruit shop on a tuesday arvo at 3pm to buy some bananas.
It's sad that these young men have to alter their social life once they become first grade rugby league players but they just have to find alternative ways to have a night out if they want to keep their name out of the headlines.
