Not this guy



Booked the first flight back to India after the last round and hasn't returned Wests calls. Interviews for a replacement have been taking place this week and a decision will be made tonight.

WT2K's avatar is the frontrunner so far.

I some how missed that story, had no idea what you were talking about and just stumbled across it. I'm scared.

Why spend money on mediocre first graders when we can buy ourselves a new logo instead.

That will give confidence to the fans.

Unusual timing with Gagai moving on, would have thought he was the most likely replacement.

Thanks for the memories, Benji. Legend. Enjoy retirement, champion.

Well played Benji, loved the way you played the game. Kiwi legend.

And the Tiger side show continues.

Bulldogs backline is going to look really different next year, something like:
Dufty, JAC, Naden, Hoppa, Cotric, Avo, Burton, with Burns now in the mix as well. Not sure what their plans are for guys like Allan, Meaney, Okunbor, Flano and Lewis. They have some decent depth that they have been lacking in recent years.

Would expect Flano Snr gets a gig as coach somewhere this season and Jr transfers to that club.

There is a case to be made that he should be an immortal based on his impact on the game. Had an entire generation of kids trying to do the "Benji" step on their siblings in the backyard. Led one of the biggest upsets of all time in the 2008 world cup final, golden boot winner and managed 346 club games. One of the most memorable grand final moments of the NRL era. I don't think we will ever see another player with that much talent that is universally loved by all fan bases

Lewis Hoppa and Meaney are finished up at the club. Meaney has gone to the Storm.

Doubt Burns is anything more than a depth player which is why Souths have no problem letting him go.

For the most past an immortal is conidered a 1 team player. This is far more alignened with the salary cap environment

Don't mind th down vote, because I don't agree with my comment. It just seems the way it is. Benji's wife never got a ring.

I don't expect he will become an immortal just due to not "peaking" as high as the next in line guys like Smith, Thurston, Lockyer, Slater.

Playing for 4 different clubs wouldn't help the case

If Immortal is to retain meaning as a phrase meaning more than just "a good player" Only Lockyer and Smith are due to get it from those named anyway.

Several of the current immortals played for more than 1 club (some get exemption due to QRL and NSWRL having separate comps)

How many seasons was Benji actually consistent for ? Hes a hall of famer for sure. No fkn way hes an immortal

He was great in 2005, then was pretty good for a few years but was hampered by injury. Then was great in 2010-2011.

Has one of the best highlights packages of anyone, but agree is not an immortal.

Benji definitely a player who's influence is greater than their actual performance. Still a great player. Has proven super durable too, I'd suggest completely busts the "injury prone" myth.

And now the toughest part - MORE CUTS

Manly farewell 5 - Sironen (UK), Suli (Dragons), Funa, Gosie, Saddler

Funa cut the same day they re-signed Taufua, who was behind him all year and is much older, seems harsh. Boyle also re-signed, and Bullemore confirmed

Storm farewell 11, beating the Dragons (10) for highest turnover so far - Finucane & Hynes (Sharks), JAC (Bulldogs), then the cuts: Lee, Pene, Booth, King (just signed with Bulldogs), Turahai, Jacks, Atkinson, Smoothy

Also Bulldogs looking at Burns as a winger. Could see him there R1 2022 but NO BUYS as a fantasy asset.

Glad I won’t be able to fall into the Gosiewski trap next year
