Talk about Souths have been backed in massively with rumours Benji will be rested after being knocked silly the past couple of games.

Probably makes sense Smeg mentioned this yesterday

You've got to stop the cycle because they just seem to continue Its like your brain just doesn't fully recover and the smallest whack sends you off again
 
Actually isn't that the rule brought in this year he may have no choice and to be honest it's more important then football -can't mess with head injuries - be interesting who comes in
 
Yeah as much as this would be bad timing, a player's health should come first. Any concern should override all. If we lose a game because of it, so be it.
 
Hmmm, this must be a first - a WT outfit playing without both Benji and Robbie! Will be interesting to see how they go - they'll probably win :laughing:

We need him this week.

Head gear is proven not to stop concussion. It's purely a massive placebo. The brain literally rattles inside your head and swells against the inside of your head. All the head gear does I'd stops head cuts

Yep.
If he was a boxer he wouldn't be allowed to fight the week after being concussed.

this rumour must have some credence - all betting is now suspended on the souffs/tigers game after a MASSIVE dump on souths. just before suspending betting, tigers were 2.90 and souffs were 1.45…. very interesting.....
 
Ofcourse not because the objective for a fighter is to score points on cleans punches to the face…
Different in rugby league..
Obviously his health comes first, by the sounds of it we won't be winning for a while if this is true

If he were to be out, i would expect Moltzen to push up into the halves, Beau or Reddy to fullback and then put Ayshford back into centre. As much as i no alot of people on here hate having Moltz in the halves, we couldnt play Humble and Chisolm in the halves, way to much inexperience to try and control the team and run plays etc

Whats head gear going to do ?
Theres only two reasons for wearing head gear .1 is to cover over a cut .or two is because you are sponsored and getting a quid out of it . Talk to a sports doctor and he will tell you it will not stop a concussion.
Souths should run riot on us this week if the past month is any indication and even if Benji plays they will be short priced favorites .
I cant believe the Souths coach is starting Dave Taylor off the bench, that will at least make sure we are in it for 20 minutes .

Dave Taylor can be a massive under achiever especially when they are loosing. Much like Mason.

Look at last weeks game vs Brisbane in 2nd 1/2
 
Just a quick and plausible point if benji is out. Should we rest any other player with a niggle or player who is crucial to our season as we aren't realistically going to win without Robbie and benji and a forward pack as soft as marshmellow. Maybe give some young guys a go who have eighy minutes to rip and tear. Who cares if they get suspended. Just go in there like they are in the trenches at war and maim those rabbits.
