It was that long ago even Ben Ikin can't remember it.

I don’t even remember him as a player. Not that I’m not old enough, he just wasn’t that memorable. Poor Grimey.

Many say he only had a career because he married Wayne's daughter.

Perhaps so but it would take very little to be a better husband than his father in law

No but judging by all the rumours about him going back many many years i would rate him as another politician in the trustworthy stakes

Nah. No way.
Wayne Bennett Raised 3 disabled boys.

Nah, no way.
Bennett has 3? Disabled children with his wife and raised them well.
He was married to Trish from 1974 to 2016. Ilook different times, but that is an age to stay together. I look at Marriages among my friends, over 50% divorced within 5 years. He did 40, thats something.

Ofcourse it would be hard, Bennett is a great coach. His time for his family wont be as much. But hey non smoaker, non drinker, non gambler. He puts bread on the table so . Nothing against either Trish or Wayne, but I reckon Wayne would be a better dad then most.

He has a running style very similar to Ben Ikin.

Who the hell is going to remember Ben Ikin’s running style? ?

Don’t ask me I don’t even remember typing that 2 years ago.??

Ikin's running style was hampered a bit this day😂

Congratulations Zac on your selection....👍

Zac Cini to make NRL debut
Dan TalintyreSat 1 May 2021, 10:11 AM
Wests Tigers outside back Zac Cini will become the 243rd player to play first-grade for the club after he was named to make his NRL debut in Sunday's Round 8 clash against the Dragons.

Initially named outside of the club's 21-man squad, Cini has been called into the side in place of James Roberts and will start on the wing for this week's game.

A Minchinbury Jets junior, Cini joined Wests Tigers in 2019 from the Penrith Panthers and quickly started to turn heads at the club — promoted to the Development squad in his first season prior to the June 30 deadline.

With Australian Schoolboy experience already in his young career, Cini featured as a Development Player again in 2020 — playing just one game due to the COVID-19 pandemic — before transitioning to the full-time squad this year.

Having featured primarily as a centre or winger throughout his career, the 20-year-old transitioned to fullback in 2021 and has so far revelled in the switch.

Cini's good form at the back has played a key role in the club's Knock-On Effect NSW Cup side, Western Suburbs Magpies, who sit second on the ladder heading into Round 8. He has played every game, while also accounting for 198 running metres and over five tackle breaks per game so far this season.

Cini's first-grade debut certainly comes as a reward for his good form throughout the year so far — officially set to become Wests Tigers Player #243 on Sunday.

So has Roberts been dropped or is he injured?

I think to change the squad he has to be injured but the article doesn’t say which is strange.

 

[Speed2burn]

Well deserved. I really hope he plays like he belongs in grade tomorrow

Apparently gone to the wing?

He has looked good, where our FG have looked ordinary, so I hope he plays to his strength, which could easily find him a regular in the team.

It’s great to see our good young blokes get there chances, especially when the blokes above them are dishing out trash, week in, week out.
