...well goin' into the last round and lookin' at who's takin' momentum into the finals..I'll go out on a limb and draw a line through...the Cow's...Dragon's...Knight's/Souths (if they make it)...and I got the feelin' that Manly have blown it also(obviously)...dunno about the Warriors 'cause they're stiil playin' half decent...Souths had the momentum to give it a shake but the troops are fallin' apart...here's hopin' for no more injuries/suspensions goin' into the last round...
Watching tonight, and I know it was against the Titans, but I don't recall even Johns having his way with a team the way Benji has been doing it lately. Sure he doesn't have the defense of Johns but Lockyer certainly never had either. He's brilliant and I hope we get to watch him for another 5 years.....at one stage in his career he seemed a bit brittle. We're blessed to watch some of the guys going around at the moment but Benji is the pick of the bunch IMO.
There was a moment tonight where he dummied on the inside , sold it and yet the break he made was still on the inside. The defender just stopped in total confusion
Kiwis are going to have a very very Strong Team come 4 Nations Time. The Depth in the Backline is really starting to grow thick. Locke or Hoffman at Fullback?
Sorry to carry on. I'm a heartbroken eels fan but I'll be riding tigers and warriors hard in the finals and also the knights or souths depending on who gets through. The other teams are ****ish.
To be honest they need both Hoff and Locke in the Team but that will mean kicking either Manu or Nightingale out.
Let's keep things in perspective and remember it was the titans he was up against. An orange witches hat would have looked messenger like against that sorry shell of a side.
But yeah, benji is a freak, and for mine, he surpasses Lockyer. Brisbane aren't so much of a rabble when Lockyer is out, but when benji is out the tigers would be hard pressed beating the over 50's mosman 13.
