1 good thing about Benji Marshell

[Crippler]

he wont have to put up with the rookie of the year JINX that has hampered players like Seers, Mathew Rodwell etc from going onto better things.

 

[vlad]

that's true.

looks like Billy Slater just in front of Brett Firman this year for RotY

Slater is overated IMO.

Marshall would CARVE him up in terms of ability.

:lol:

This post stinks of bias

Whats to stop him gettin it next year??

The 1 & only very best thing about Benji??
HES A WESTS TIGER!!

 

[innsaneink]

Slater has a great step too , but he's suss in defence! I dont spose that will stop 'em givin it to him.Firman has an attitude problem,the refs dont like him...Micheal Witt from parra ????

Its hard to see it not going to Slater given his 18 (I think) tries - 15 in Melbourne. He has certainly made more impact than any other rookie.

 

[Mighty Tiger]

Firman or Slatter will be Rookie of the year!

Does anyone know how many run on games can you play before your ineligable to be classed a rookie for the following year?

I know you can come off the interchange bench several times before your rookies status is counted but not sure about the starting position :?

Tries dont mean anything. Yes, certanly Slater can find the line. But Firman has had a much greater impact, as he has led his entire team around the park. That is itself is a greater achievement IMO compared to Slater's try's.
