What happened to that scapegoat thread??


Superb start to the season for Ben, looks fit, strong and CONFIDENT in first two games of the season. Long may it continue and good luck Ben

Its been coming since he returned. Bens home,

expect more performances like this from him

won the game today with that tackle !!!!!!

Damn, I was going to start this thread after starting the scapegoat thread. Thought he stood out today, great running at angles and some nice runs.

Fantastic performance from BJ, that tackle was awesome!

Which tackle was that??

Quality today

they are there just waiting for his first bad game. Keep it up ben lad

He had a good game and if he plays anywhere that level on a consistent basis I'd be more than happy.

Superb today Ben ! Brilliant in attack and defence ! By far the best player on the park.

Twice the player that left us on the basis of that performance. What was noticeable was that when behind and extremely flat BJ stepped up and dug us out of a big hole. The period running up to the break for Morrisons try, he was excellent.

Wasn't overly excited at his return primarily as from experience I couldn't see him dealing with the strength of DB's on-field personality. A performance like today has shown BJ to be a strong 6 who is capable of turning a game.

Great tackle, but Ferguson back tracking to catch Pelo in the first half was better and more vital. Two great tackles in a game, do you think Stevo and co will acknowledge - don't hold your breath

I always said I thought BJ would be a different player playing alongside Brough as opposed to Rooney and I know it's still early days but he is looking twice the player that left us.

When he went for the Catalans player behind his line I thought Garen Casey had taken over his body.

Great performance today and a country mile the best player on the park today.

hes a scapegoat

I agree with that but I would add a third, and thats when Murphy came up and smashed Adam Mogg thus saving a certain try.

Correct. Awesome.

As for BJ, simply superb and I hope he keeps on shoving it up the scapegoaters!!

No pie for me squire. I like the new Jeffries and you lot can keep the old one.

just let your rugby do all the talking bj ,

so glad bj started so well him its somthing we have missed for last couple of season a stand off who runs at the line

He played great today and had masses of drive and energy. Keep it up bj.

He's been great so far and no reason to think he won't get even better as he settles in.

He and Brough split left and right at times today and Catalans had trouble numbering up sufficiently to cover all eventualities.

I also thought Danny looked up for it today and he spent a lot of time encouraging his team, Morton in particular.

use you're own lines



I realised yesterday, that this would end up in the BJ thread

All three tackles should be in for tackle of the season - where did Fegusons speed come from, and the other 2 small guys on big guys - CRUNCH.

Great tackle by ben and the second half performance was outstanding. Jeffries used to be a 1 in 4 game half hearted player we all knew hes allways had the talent just hope he keeps it up 2 very good performances in 2 games and tried his hardest. Long may it continue.

totally agree
