Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2872617, member: 9052"] Everyone knows that the media will blame Bennett for this but realistically Milf needs to man up and take himself out instead of "oh I'd love to play for Samoa " To me the facts are: - if he gets selected for Aus he's likely behind Maloney and potentially Munster for the 6... therefore bench utility or selected against minnows at best - for Samoa he's the starter but unlikely to progress beyond quarters - playing the world cup delays his surgery till probably December at which point he has 4-6 month rehab and therefore not back till April - June 2018. He would basically be choosing to play a bit role in the world cup whilst severely hampering his origin chances... where he is more than a chance of taking JT's vacant spot for the long term. He's also severely hampering the broncos season and potentially derailing it all together. We'd miss him for basically the first 8-12 rounds and have a halves pairing headed up by Nikorima with minimal back up. He'd also kill off any preseason in a 2018 season where he'll be the primary playmaker with a brand new inexperienced halves partner beside him. Those 2 need as much time together as possible There's also the fact that NRL careers are short yet he's willing to potentially cull an entire season to potentially play off the bench for Australia or get eliminated in the quarters. This isn't only his season either this would be an entire team's season and Sammy's last in a broncos jersey. All of this yet he has left it to Bennett to publicly make the call when it's obvious that he should be booked in for surgery the day after our season ends. [/QUOTE]
