Spearby, you are right mate. I will hold off on The Benji is a Hoax until next year! I must still have the Leichhardt Hill still ringing in my ears from season 2012 where he got us all FLUSTERED! I did laugh at the cover of this week's RLW, " Potter's plan telling Marshall to be more selfish in attack " I must have been at different games in 2012, because the way he ran sideways so many times and then pass a Ward 10 Hospital Pass was to my thinking "SELFISH". Anyway's BRING ON 2013!!! Didn't make Parra Trial,,but from what I saw of Benji in the ALL STARS GAME,,VERY ORDINARY!! Please can someone just that whistle and let SEASON 2013!!! I HATE CRICKET!!!

You going this Saturday Night??? I'm a Balmain Boy,,the Old Datsun 180B struggles to get over to Campbelltown without having to stop 6 times and topping up the oil.

We must have watched different games in 2012\. I saw the player who set up the most trys in the competition do exceptionally well playing out of position, with ten different and inconsistent halves pairings behind a forward pack that struggled to be competitive let alone dominate. Benji did not have a poor season in 2012, I don't know why people are using him as a scapegoat.

Benji was the king of the park last Saturday night. Tedesco will be fullback come semis, BMM v Thompson v Pettyborne v Sironen etc - your guess is as good as mine & the first thing that comes to mind with Buchanan is that he dropped the ball at least 2 times. But dont read into my opinion too much. Im no expert nor am i an insider. Im just a fan. Everybody sees the game differently. Hence all the different opinions. And stay off the M5 - its cars like yours that make the drive unbearable. Or at least stay off the M5 when Wests play.

On Season 2012 form, i wouldn't even have Benji in my Top 17!!! In the 1/2's throw in Siro, Miller, Moses or Brooks. With Anasta at lock to steady the young guns! Benji, has a HEAP of stuff to do this year to warrant a New Contract! 2 things he MUST DO this year are 1: DO NOT RUN SIDEWAYS and push my wingers and centres onto the hill at Leichhardt. 2: DO NOT KICK AT ALL!!!

If you follow that logic (not that I'm seeing any), then you may as well subtract around 35 tries from the Tigers and we end up in the bottom 4.
 
We won't go anywhere in 2013 without them both playing well , but if we were forced to make a choice it has to be keep Farah

Two reasons

Farah is the heart and soul of our club

Secondly we have a handy replacement with Anasta at 6 but we are far less blessed with hookers

Ill pass on Anasta at six I would rather sign someone like Sam Williams and move Miller to 6\. But I agree with you about keeping Farah.
 
this is a no brainer in my opinion. I'd keep Farah for sure.

Speaking of salaries … does anyone know what each of them make per season?
 
If Melbourne can keep 3, we should be able to find the space to keep 2.

If I had to choose I would probably go with Benji. He is an absolute freak and there aren't too many other freak halves. There are some quality hookers out there though so while Farah would be a fair loss, I think we could cover him better.

I have a feeling though if Brooks, Moses and Sironen keep on developing, I could change my mind.

If…. Wests tigers got themselves into a position where having Marshall and farah in the team became to difficult due to the salary cap.... Who would you rather release??

Ill wait til mid season. They both need to play a lot more consistent. Otherwise I'm happy for them both to be moved on.

Consistent in 2012, yes.. But how the hell did he let Mick Ennis get ahead of him in previous years as origin hooker? And dont give me favouritism rubbish. Go back to threads on here from 2011 and you'll see most agreed that Ennis deserved his origin position over Farah.
We have never had Marshall and Farah play to their best in the one year, if we ever do we'll smash the comp.

Don't think you'll find too many Ennis fans on here.
Was watching some highlights of Origin stoushes the other day and they showed the one where he started a stink then hid behind his teammates (actually burrowed in behind them covering his head).
Hilarious.
SOO legend :blush: :unamused:

did you actually go back to the threads from 2010/11?
i agree with gallagher here.
to us fans, farah seems really great because he has what most of our team lacks…heart and courage. but compared to the elites of the game, farah isn't as good as people make him out to be here.
