Benji was the wrong fit for BJ

Time will tell but over the years I think that unfortunately Benji was also wrong fit for Farrah, Brooks, Reynolds, Mbye and our backline defence structure.

BJ gets the someone else's fault pass..


Yeah because a centre is a player whose worth is impacted by the halves inside of him. Ask Matt Gidley.

A half on the other hand is reliant on momentum of the forward pack his own abilities to create plays and use the pieces around him.

100% There is a reason Nofo was so good this year and that was BJ.

? BJ simply was not fit enough coming off injury, limited off season and then Covid. He’s a good player in attack suspect defensively. Need better players around him on the edge defensively than Marshall and Garner.

Well our biggest defensive weaknesses won’t be inside him next year. I think you’ll see an improvement.

100% and with Benji not there next year we’ll see a marked improvement in defence.

Was it the Grand Final where he didn't demonstrate urgency to get back into the defensive line and the Chooks attacked where he should have been and scored? I remember also he bombed a try by hogging the ball. 12 point turnaround in a Grand Final. No wonder Stuart was so keen to move him on, to us!

He was at DH - but don't let that stop you from piling it onto him - Oh! right!

To be fair, BJ was gassed and had been out ages leading into the semis.

Our big problem is he came in unfit also last season.

He will either come back slim, fit and keen in 2021 as he wants to convince the club to take up our option for 2022. Or...he will sulk he was dropped last round, cruise all off season and come back fat again. We will know the first day of pre season training.

And I'll continue to do so. He is supposedly a professional footballer being paid a significant amount of money working mum and dads in the many areas of Sydney, Queensland, ACT and Melbourne could only dream about. Stop and think about those families in Melbourne who have lost their businesses and employment due to the lockdown.

Compare that to your mate who couldn't be bothered getting fit or improving his defence. And you aren't shy of sticking the boot into Marshall whom. was a far greater player than Leilua could ever dream of being.
