Where would you play benji?

LR OUT… until he gets fit,then i would prefer him in the centres and
defending at 5/8 or wing depending where the opposition are on last.eg if the opposition are bogged down coming out from there line i would have him defending on the wing to bring the clearing kick back same as 05 GF Pat Richards try.

To continue with us - 5/8\. I think in another team environment he could play as a fullback.

We need to stick it out with Benji in the halves and hopefully inject Brooks in later on, or keep going with Sirro, either way we need to choose one pairing and stick with it. It's killing us that it's round 8 and we've already had 4 or 5 different pairings.

hardly anyone's fault. If mick had had it his way it'd be Miller Marshal then Anasta Marshall. Maybe Sirro or Brooks mighta got a lookin later in the season but that'd be it.

I would be starting him on the bench - if he doesn't want to put in for 80 mins maybe he can be a super sub ala craig wing.

To all the idiots saying left out or anywhere other then the halves -thanks for allowing me to mark down opinions to ignore. The problem Benji has faced this year after 3 great years is that he has had no forward pack. You could play Andrew johns at his best with Wally Lewis and they would be I effective behind our forward pack. We only have one prop in the squad who is up to standard since galloways injury and we lost our best 2 back rowers at the end of last year and replaced them with pettybourne and bodene Thompson ( who even at that has only played 1 and a half games ) . We have no pack so of course our halves can't do anything. If you knew anything about football you would know that.

As for where he should play whence have a decent pack that makes halves matter . I would prefer halfback but would be ok with five eight it depends who is their with him. With Anasta he should play five eight, with Sironen he should play half, with brooks or miller he should play five eight and with Moses ( my pick as the better out of brooks and himself) he should play halfback

Boonboon, you are internetting way too hard, lol…

So in the games when we have had periods of domination, parked on Manly and Storms line, why didnt Benji whip his undies on the outside and turn into a superhero? Maybe he was saving it all up for extra time, trying to lull the opposition into a sense of complacency by being pedestrian and predictable, throwing in the odd stupid grubber on second tackle, maybe a pass to nobody to make sure he could keep the opposition under as little mounting pressure as necessary.

Dont blame the forwards, as many times in every game we will be in the arm wrestle for Benji to piss it up the wall because he has a brain-snap. To be competent in the halves he needs to make alot more astute decisions. Read through the thread you keep reading "persevere with him in the halves" "stick with him", why? because he isnt a natural 6 or 7, he is an oddity, a damn good one on song...
