The fact of the matter is that no NRL club needs him or wants him. It is easy for Benji's agent Martin Tauber to predict that Benji won't be going to England to play in Super League. But when he discovers how uninterested the 16 NRL clubs are in Benji, he will have to eat crow. London is the club that could make most use of him. They could play Benji at 6, and move Ben Farrar to the centres. It would probably give more direction to their attack. It would however still leave London with a desperate need of two aggressive prop forwards. But the difference that Benji could make might be enough to avoid relegation. The only real question is whether London's owner David Hughes wants to spend the money, or whether he has accepted to let London be relegated out of Super League. The failure of Hughes to outbid Bradford and acquire Jamal Fakir suggests that the latter might be the case. |
