If you want to see how Benny has improved you only need to look at his fitness. In game 1 down the lane, v Widnes, he had his hands on his hips and blowing out his backside for most of the game.

In the last few games he's looked as energetic as ever, probably helped by not carrying the ball at 2nd tackle every time. As people have mentioned - he's also done some great defending and looked a lot more comfortable. He's getting there.

Oh, and I'd also flag that his communication was excellent on Sunday. He was very vocal and shouting at his defenders. Good to see.
In the spirit of the final Blackadder episode - Goooodbyeee!

Time to lay off Benny, he is getting better each week and needs some support. Taken some balls for him to take the mantle from Zac.

Benny has made the 4th most errors in superleague this year. May sound bad until you realise....

4 of the top 5 are full backs
3 of the top 5 are recognised full backs and have done the job for years
1 is Jake Mamo who everyone in superleague raves about
1 is Gareth oBrien who we tried to sign for full back

For a stand in full back, he's doing a grand job.

And that the players who made the most errors in SL last season were:
1. Mark Percival.
2. Albert Kelly
3. Greg Eden
4. Mahe Fonua.

Benny had the shortest pre-season of any player I believe to then come in a play in the most demanding role fitness wise that must on here are happy to identify full back as.

Let’s be honest about him;
He’s never looked great on poor pitches or at the beginning of a season.
He makes errors and daft plays in the halves and from hooker.
He was identified as a match winner/loser with some of his plays before he signed.

Give him chance to settle into a new role, build fitness and confidence.

Evald's was MOM last night against Hull, Salford fans saying his performance was a cut above everyone else, Hull fans are in agreeance with them. Probably added a few more quid on to his value, if Salford are ready to offload.

Really classy player is this Niall Evalds. Will cost a pretty penny I imagine for anyone wanting to add him to their team. Really rate the young lad.

Took some very good high balls.
Defence looks good.
Compare that to Hambury, he’s had a nightmare with the high ball.

Apart from the two occassions where hectic not even go for the high ball.

Had that been Roberts he would have been lambasted for it...

Yeah he can link on really well with the attack too, not that he gets much chance with amount of penalties Salford give away. I really do hate Salford they bring nothing to the game

Think if he was Cas bound it would have been announced by now.
