compose himself and slot one when we really needed it.
IMO Ben is one of the smartest plaers in our 22 now when it comes to play...
He just constantly makes very good decisions, has the abilty to seize up the moment ....and knows how to find team-mates in good positions.
Add to that his ground level work and tacking abilty and you get a lot to be excited about about with our ruck division.
Having him play with Gardi will continue to hone his ability to influence the game aroun the ground.
His general workrate is outstanding for a bloke who stands 2m tall. Five tackles last night, by way of example.
Captain in making.
As I type Big Mac slots his crucial goal. 13 paces by my count. Last few were shuffled. He would have been stiff to be pinged.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

Has come along in leaps and bounds this year , and especially the last few games, is really beginning to impose himself on the game.
he is improving each year, and thsi year he has improved so much. he is really a cool head and it shows not just that goal but a couple of other times during the year!
But you have to admit, it was the most awkward play of the game
He couldn't make up his mind and had all the time in the world too. The good thing is, others in such a situation normally panic and kick indecisively, but nice and composed, he slotted the crucial goal!
I heard we really wanted Lachie Henderson who is now at the blues. When he went earlier than expected we went for Big Mac. Lucky break for us when you consider henderson probably would be a back up tall for if roo or Kosi went down.
Haven't developed a good ruck of our own since spider.

He must've come close to his full measure
I thought so too, but on the replay it wasn't as bad as it seemed live. Perhaps just because he wasn't running that fast it seemed he ran further than he did.
10 or 11 steps i counted them....big legs .so..probably more than 15 metres though...
.everybody still loves lenny....and we always will
