To Benji Fans

[Knuckles]

How good was it of Benji to get around to everyone for one last handshake, hug, photo.
I left when he left at 10.30 …. Thanks Benji .... The memories will forever be with us.

Doesnt surprise me he did that. Good to see him provide a bit of Benji magic for the fans as well.

He's for real. It's gotta be tough for him. Thanks Benji.

Cant help thinking what an asset as a runner he would have been with someone like Brooks controlling the play.
The breaks he made the past few matches have been great to see
I think there is a good chance he will be missed on and off the field

Just couldn't believe at 10.30 last night he was still out there with the Tigers fans.
He will miss us alright !

The club didnt acknowledge Ayshford or Reddy

As do I. If his role next year was to just run the ball and link up with the very impressive back 3 of Ted, Korro and Nofo, after leaving all the setup duties to Brooks….no use thinking about it, but I'll miss him and from reading the players reactions and words about him, many of them will as well.

If he stayed Brooks would have had better offers to go elsewhere IMHO

Do you really think so? I mean yes the offers would be there but I have a feeling he would have been excited to play in and be the organiser of what is fast emerging as the comps most exciting backline. IMO he would have stayed here for less.

After watching how the team played against Dragons when Brooks was in control, I have no doubt that Benji would have gladly stepped back from the organisational and kicking duties and would have solely concentrated on his running game. In the last few weeks, Benji has taken more scoots and runs in traffic then I have seen him do in the past 2 years combined, resulting in a few line breaks and 2 tries.

I think Brooksies game would have complemented Marshal and we would have seen a return to the attacking Tigers…for mine it is a damned shame that ego's and ill informed or short sighted opinions have closed the door on this possibility. He still had more to offer.

This was a massive failure alround.
Marshall could have got a new lease of life playing outside Brooks will get less money we will lose him and I don't believe his happy leaving.

How did this go wrong?

Would be nice if he accepted the lower dollars , changed his mind and hung around for a few seasons.

if you look back at the threads, people were saying it is the best decision for club and benji if he left.

I think he will come back after 2 years.

Not all people agree with this assessment.
