Is Everything Still Good Between Benji And Tim Sheens?

[radiowave82]

I've read Benji's book, and it shows that Tim's relationship with Benji was such that he went to New Zealand and visited Benji after the man Marshall most strongly identified as his father passed away.

Something was on the news last year sometime after the season ended, it was from when Benji was doing a photo shoot for Mambo (or another clothing label, not sure) at a seaside pool. They apparently asked him if he was the person behind a player revolt against Sheens. Benji said something like "No, if I was on the board I might understand them speculating that, but no I didn't do anything." (This is not the exact quote, I'm just going from memory).

I feel like what he said in that footage could be interpreted multiple ways:

1\. "I would have if I was on the board, but I'm not so I didn't."
2\. "I'm not on the board, so I couldn't have been behind a move even if I wanted to."
3\. "I'm not on the board, so I couldn't have been behind a move even if I wanted to, which I didn't."

I'm hoping number 3 is what it was. It would be disheartening for such a relationship to turn sour. Again I repeat, I'm just going on memory on what Benji said so I might be wrong, if someone has the exact quote please correct me.

I've been told they are on good terms despite disagreeing on a few things last year

One of the first things Benji said when Potter was announced as coach was that he wanted the #6 jersey back. Benji was Sheens' puppet last year, and I dont think he liked it. When he was moved to 7, he said he's been playing there for the last three years - it was like Sheens got him to say that to remove the heat from the decision. There was plenty of obvious tension between the coach and players last year

I agree , who cares it's in the past and forgotten , i'm sure the players want to move on from the topic as well.
New coach with new beginings …. :smiley:
