We will have 1000 posts from 200 members blasting Benji (and deservedly so)

and then….

200 posts from 5 members (who have Benji's picture framed next to their bedside, with a bottle of hand cream and wet tissues) saying how well he played, how awesome his kicks were, it wasn't his fault - it was the players around him, there was wasabi in his eyes all nite blah blah

And then in one day......

Potter will name him as starter Captain against the Raiders

And then in one month.....

Tigers will sign him up to a record deal

And the next 4 years......

Tigers lose all the promising youngsters and continue to be a shit side who mises finals football

And in 5 years.....

Benji will be like Phil Gould - having a gig on TV and also coaching role at the Tigers

:bash

Since he likes being palmed off so much (even by Scotty Prince) might as well send him into the Brisbane showers to palm all the players for a celebratory wank
 
It's a good guess and quite amusing, but it seems like the tide is turning and he won't be re-signed if he doesn't improve

maybe next year see how he goes with Brooks partnering him and if he doesn't show any better form, out the door and Moses comes in to partner Brooks
 
Benji is a part of the fabric of this club. But the fabric is changing and Benji needs to change as a player if he is going to have a future with this club.

he's a stain on the fabric.
i ignored what i heard for years from various sources, but the end is near for him at WT.
 
i Cannot wait until 2015 when two of the biggest wastes of oxygen are out of this joint blair and benji!
 
haha wet tissues- It will make my year if I see him play reserve grade. Unfortunately injuries may prevent this from happening. Bency lives on.
 
Benji , I'm afraid is a has been. If we do go ahead and resign him, it should be on our terms not his.I personally think his "use by date "is up.

As usual massively over the top criticism. …
Benji isn't going great but this stuff is over the top and people have short memories
 
Good call Goose. Benji's defence is shithouse but his attack was fine against the boncos. Give him a break. Maybe get a new defence coach. The whole team could use some practice.

His attack was well below fine against the broncos. The bloke's kicking game was poo, and he had no hand in either of our two tries. He stunted pretty much every one of our fifth tackle options, and made the wrong decisions in attack. It was poor by anyone's standards

i think its pretty disrespectful actually,

the times when he has shown his loyalty to the Tigers, when he had offers on the table, he stayed. He has been a good team member for many years and his form has been on % basis always been a great player over the poor form.. Yet when our player starts to struggle for the last 2 years, (with out a proper half back mind you) you want him gone, PLUS not only want him gone but in the way in which you talk about him, its poor form and actually pretty sad as a fan that you can kick him when he is down.. but i shouldnt be surprised.. that is the Aussie way isnt it

YET

poor ol Lawrence who hasnt been playing well for much longer although still people think he should leave. cops no where near as much bad mouthing.

I think people have their blinkers on.. Benjis defence hasnt changed since he started with us. He has always made the silly errors, poor kicks, playing those low % Plays… BUT when they worked you all loved him.

I accept he needs to get a form injection, But i for one am not willing to dis the guy and throw him to the lions like the so called fans for someone who is known to be a better player when he has time and time again proven to be the player he is known for when he has a proper half back with him... The Club is at fault here. We had a good half back in Prince and Lui... and we know how that turned out.. but the club didnt try and resolve the problem..... they tried to use masking tape to fix the problem.. and everyone knows masking tape is shit at holding things together.

And if people think the problem is JUST Benji, last time i checked their were 11 other members on the field playing in the same team, letting trys in as well...

We are a good two years away from being a competitive team again, and from all reports the Moses combo looks to be a goer.. But i in that team i think there is a place for Benji and i think he will shine with the other two.

we have some dead wood in the team and IMHO i dont think Benji is one.

do i think he will stay? No, i actually think he will go cause the club has ZERO Money.. and even if he took a massive pay cut, i still think he will be to much to stay. If he goes, he goes, thats the way the game works... but ill always respect the guy for what he has done.. unlike alot of the fans
 
I'm with you mate. A lot of people on this forum turn very quickly on players they lauded as heroes two years ago.

Benji has been woeful this year but he has earnt my patience. I will give him to the end of the year before passing judgment.

I think the thing which annoys people on this forum is his arrogance. It's as if he is adamant the way he plays the game is the right one. He sees himself above the team and believes he is immune from criticism. For a long time, the fans of this club have shielded him from critics, who call him average, overrated, selfish, and a lot more.

Now he has hit rock bottom and we are finally realising his true self. He always cries to the media and tries to get the fans on his side. Somebody who does this should just stuff off. Its very Quade Cooper-esque, a guy who was (and is) just about the biggest crybaby in Australia.

i have yet to see the arrogance side of him.. he has admitted he is down on form in the papers and his news paper colume .. People only see the arrogance cause that is what they read into it.. Fans come away from a loss, read the next day his article and make judgment on it whilst they are ticked off. People only read what they want to read and believe rather then take it for what its worth.. You think he wants to be down on form???? you think he likes loosing week in and week out?? last time i checked the guy bleeds for the tigers. Just because he doesnt get worked up as much as Farah doesnt make him less passionate. If you think Benji is Arrogant i hate to think what u think about Farah??? Ohhh thats right, Farahs form is good atm… so he cant be arrogant.. Fans need to Wake up!! he is the most arrogant player of all.. And im not saying its wrong, as its not...

BENJI is BENJI... his way of playing is him... people accepted it when we were winning.. now we dont have a team around him to make it happen.. WE are down on forwards, down on form in other positions and low on self belief as a team.. and we are team riddled with injuries. But its all Benjis fault
 
You make some fair points T-REX in relation to Benji and good on you for your loyalty. Benji has to come to the party as well however, I know his game isn't helped by our team make-up at the moment BUT he must also take some responsibility for his game if he concentrated on getting small things right it would help for example if he took more care in where he kicks on the fifth tackle and if he took more care when kicking for touch from a penalty people would see that he is trying but when he often kicks on the fifth tackle and find the opposition player on the full or kicks from a penalty and gains little distance all this makes it harder for the team. Also if he tried a lot harder in defence it would also go a long way to show he is trying for himself and the team. At the moment, through not doing at least the 'easier' things properly he is not helping himself or the team. I would like nothing better than to see Benji improve but really it's up to him to do the best HE can and he's not showing that unfortunately.

i agree, but doesnt the coach also need to take some of the responsibilty on this as well?
normally the 7 kicks, has this been addressed by the coach, Benji isnt a great kicker, yet still gets given then job of doing it.. all good to say its all his fault, but unless it is addressed from above nothing is changing. and its not and hasnt been for years
Im sure benji being very competitive, his not going out there to kick poorly…
