[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 637498, member: 57663"] I hope someone comes clean on who actually was in control of Benjis lead up to Rugby. All the talk on Radio sport today is that the reason Benji didn't play any Rugby prior to his attempt at Super Rugby was because the Blues wanted the to "announce" Benji as a marquee Blues player and not wanting him to play any rugby before hand, thereby trumpeting/showing off their major signing. If you buy into that argument then the Blues are complete fools! It wreaks of big egos coming before putting together a winning side if you ask me and I'd be really keen for them to get to the bottom of who ballzd this up so badly. I have in the past given the Blues the benefit of the doubt that they were not complete retards and was left with Benji being at fault by not getting his head around how hard the transition would be and how much work he would need to put in prior to playing Super Rugby. However, radio sport does tend to be on the money more often that not and the consensus there is that the Blues are mostly at fault here. All of this is making JK, Henry, Andy Dalton, Garry Whetton and the rest of the Blues board and management look really really bad. People need to be held accountable here so that the ones not at fault can stop being unfairly implicated in this mess. [/QUOTE]
