Testimonial 9th June​

WT v Manly 12th June​

The WT knew the seasons draw well before it began,
Why didn't they have this testimonial before the Bye and not after it and just 3 days before playing Manly?

I hope all of the Manly players will be there too so that they make this game a level playing field after a big night out.

I think his management organised it, not the cub

Will he be passing balls into row 6 ?

Remember the old days when a testimonial was a game.

I remember when it was a way for the fans to give a bit of money to a semi professional footballer for the next stage of his life. Not a cash grab for a millionaire.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Are Dragons, Broncs, Souths and Blues supporting this too?

I was wondering about this myself. Assuming the event turns a tidy profit, where does the money go? Surely it doesn't go to Benji. I like Benji and admire his playing ability but it is almost obscene for him to get the money. Hopefully it goes to a worthy cause either direct or to one nominated by Benji himself but I doubt it given there's nothing said about it in the event information.

Hopefully a charity

I doubt Benji is putting the proceeds in his own pocket. Benj is a good bloke and I'm sure the money will be going to a good cause.

I hope you're right. If it is the case perhaps they could have mentioned it when promoting the testimonial.

 

[diedpretty]

I wonder how much Cam gave away from his many testimonials - and i'm sure his wife probably donated her diamond ring to Lifeline.

 

[gallagher]

Straight into benjis back pocket I reckon

 

[choiboi]

He probably gave it Souths care. Seems to have a hard on for South despite being employed by us

On the apprentice wearing this.
And we're paying him.
[This word has been automatically removed] him. No respect for the piece ....

 

[tiger_one]

**** him. No respect for the piece of shit

Except the TV show was recorded last year, whilst Benji was a contracted Souths player.
He retired from playing at the end of last season - and was subsequently employed, post football, by us.

 

[Asu Kepaoa's #1 Fan]

Bro why people always having a whinge. Go watch NRL360 and yell at the TV.

 

[Spartan117]

Poor Benji, doing it tough.

Needs the average person to help out.

I don't get your logic. So you don't think careers should be celebrated?

I think it's just a cash grab.
