Re: Manuel Benson
Cullen was set up to fail though. When he was given an adequate partner and had Muric back in and could receive the ball to his feet he started to look like the Cullen of last year. Everyone seems to disregard this. I agree, the first 10 games were a complete write off, nobody knew our best side or...

Re: Manuel Benson
Pretty clear to me why Benson hasn’t been starting games but I too am surprised he hasn’t been used when we’ve needed an impact. He was brilliant off the bench last season. Benson has spent 80% of the season injured including all of preseason (if I remember correctly). My guess is Benson does not wa...

He’s a weird one, a proper different kind of fullback, from the sheer brilliance of a nutmeg to the reckless tackle in a matter of seconds. I think the word is an enigma, fun to watch though and I like him.
