Benji

I doubt Reynolds would make much of a difference tbh…

The fans have just had a reality check. Maybe we're not a top 8 side lol.

You think Reynolds would take the ball away from Brooks so much? Maybe, hopefully not. You think Reynolds would kick on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th tackles like Benji giving easy possession to the opposition at crucial times? You think Reynolds would improve our right side defence in place of Benji or not?

Reynolds, even playing poorly, is s huge upgrade on our current 6.

The decisions by Benji have been so costly isn't isn't funny. He turns the ball over at crucial times in the games. That has a knock on effect to the outcome in regards to momentum, and he simply does not learn.
 
he hasn't lost us 3 games in a row- it's not the losses.

he kills any momentum our guys work hard for. those 5th tackle options make or break a set and he just kills it. this game i've cringed every time the ball has come to him.

treat him like any other player- he hasn't done his job for a while

That early kick at the end of the first half was such a dumb play. The play wasn't even on. He needs to be dropped but with Reynolds due to be back soon I doubt he will be.
 
He has stopped putting his body on the line and now is the side to side looking for an offload so he does not get tackled.
 
He had Grant and Rochow chasing that 1st tackle kick. If that doesn't show a complete lack of leadership, game management and down right no brains,…...well
 
Absolute shocker tonight. Gave us no chance of winning.

Back to his bad ways the last month. Gamble or Reynolds next week.

Needs a reality check from Ivan

He needed a reality check after the last 20 minutes of the 1st Parra game , either he hasn't got it yet or he is just doing whatever he wants

Guessing Ivan can feel the burning stares of many WT's fan now …....

I agree with this. He hasn't lost us games but that isn't an excuse. If he isn't doing his job then he needs to go.
 
Benji was bad tonight put us under a lot pressure.

Has won us some as well.

Injuries aren't helping. He wasn't supposed to be playing that role full time. Play him long enough and we start to get rocks. Maybe next week at Leichhardt we will get diamonds.
 
He is trying to produce miracles. Unfortunately for him & Brooks, we have very few players in the team that can run a line.
 
Interesting. I don’t argue that his form has been poor lately but do we drop him for the Leichhardt game next week? His return to Leichhardt. I think our pack & Brooks has the form to take us to the finals. Hopefully Reynolds will be back soon, Benji back to the bench.
 
Was a bad game, Benji totally did not help the outcome.

Hard really to judge, I mean he was pretty ineffective in attack, but also Brooks was middling after a solid opening salvo.

But hard to make a judgement when the refs take the game away from you like that. The attack fell right away, of course it did, we made 100 extra tackles and dropped a lot of footy.

I was fuming at his short kick though, changed the face of that first half.

Names and venues shouldn't have a say when it comes to picking the best available team. You said it - his from has been poor lately, in other words, for several weeks. We can't afford to be charitable if we want to win games. He has to be dropped. Also, sorry, can't agree with the 'pack has the form' comment either. Our pack hasn't shown form for four weeks as we've been beaten in the ruck every time.
 
Benji can say hello to ISP for all I care, give Gamble a go until Reynolds can play.
 
Even though he probably should, I can’t see Cleary punting him. If Reynolds was fit, he probably would, can’t see him bring dropped for anyone else.
 
We could have had Wally Lewis in his prime tonight and it wouldn't have mattered, while it wasn't Benjis best night out, he definately wasn't alone.

Our forwards are the key, need Liddle, Packer, Aloiai and Lawrence back and things will improve
