I wonder if.....

The same people who 12 months ago were screaming for Benji to be dumped still feel the same?

It makes a huge difference with him wearing 6 instead of 7.

also injury free and getting confidence back

there is a difference to him playing 6 and 7 .. sheens is just saying it's a number on his back because he knows he screwed up. benji is playing wider now then what he did at the beginning of the year and looking more dangerous than ever.

I agree and disagree. Benji is getting wider more often yes, but he's definately still been our main playmaker and has proved he's a good halfback who just needs a ball player with him to allow himto hunt wider a little more. If u think about it, over the last 6 weeks who has been organising us in the halves, Moltzen, Lui or Benji? Its all Benji. He's a genuine halfback or 5/8 and has come a long way. I cant cop anyone saying he's been playing 5/8, he hasnt, he's been playing 5/8 and halfback with just a link man helping out every now and then. Marshall has stepped up in a big way and should be our 7 next year with the experience he's gained this year.

Benji is playing the same. He just seems more confident with the 6 jersey on and there is less outside pressure. Numbers don't matter anymore. Lockyer and Soward where the 6 and they are their respective clubs main ball-player. Its just a number but it seems to be more than a number.
