Benji was a freakishly talented attacking player.
He wouldn’t be in the top 30 halves I’ve seen though.

What was it about his halves play that impressed you?
His organisation?, leadership?, tactical kicking?, tempo control? defence? or was it just his nice running game?

I think if you compartmentalise the great halves into “types”, spontaneous and innovative are not necessarily the big two readily required skills.
Organisation, passing skills, tackling, getting the backline moving etc are the usual prerequisites and whilst Benji had some of those it was more just off the cuff.
Brilliant at times, but plenty of mistakes and burying him out past the centres in defence.
As you say, he was very talented but spasmodic. But wouldn’t it be great to see a few young Tigers with that zest for the game, like they were playing in the backyard or down the local park.

Brooksy will do everything in that highlights reel and do it in every game he plays.

Hank, Imo a very good player but still to be judged as a coach( probably won’t really know until he takes the reins in 25).
We can discuss it further then, if I’m still around.
I don’t like making commitments too far ahead, 3 years is about my current max.

Telling that a thread about Jackson Hastings degenerates into nostalgia for what a "real half" looks like.
Time will tell.

I was shocked Hastings is 103kg according to Sheens which is 2kg less than Cameron Murray.

Hastings has no pubic hair and trims his toenails and has no belly button lint. Other than that he is a Cam Murray Clone.
I’m shocked Cam Murray weighs more than 100kg

Sorry, I know, you are wondering how I know that he trims his toenails.
you got a hedge trimmer ,with your hoe ???
Until I got cancer 2 years ago I weighed more than anyone in our top 30 lol
can it be cut out,or is it inoperatable,feel free to tell me to foff,you with terms with it all,god bless buddy,
WTS have made many mistakes over the years,but the 2 biggest was ...
1.Sheens turning Benji into a half when he clearly was a runnimg 5/8..buying a true 1/2 to play alongside Benji in the form of Prince got us success...
2. Playing Brooks at halfback when he is clearly a running 5/8 AND NOT getting a true halfback to play alongside him...
JUST MY OPINION AND I DONT CARE IF YOU DISCREDIT MY OPINION.....CHEERS LOVE YOU ALL....
