Is Marshall a great player?

[aqua_duck]

Absolute flat track bully. Kills it against lesser teams like Penrith and Parra, but when the going gets tough he fails. Also absolutely shirks it in defence.
Honestly cannot think of a player who gets more of a free ride in the media

 

[Iafeta]

At club level, maybe that's true. But in the big games in tournaments for the Kiwis Marshall has done very well. I think its been a challenge for the Tigers in that this year, aside from Aaron Woods, their forwards are below average at best.

 

[aqua_duck]

Forwards aren't great but it doesn't help when the bloke on big money refuses to put his body on the line in defence and takes the wrong option more often than not in attack

 

[Liddell]

He did throw a nice flick pass 8 years ago.

 

[chrisD]

Yes he is a great player.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

He was very good for a period. Not great.

Now he's below average.

 

[innsaneink]

The casual mug fan that follows the game for 90 minutes per week love him, he makes them buy jerseys and memberships
I laugh every time the teams announced at games, he still gets the biggest cheer...but kids are kids

 

[RHCP]

Since NRL players are now judged on their last ten games, no he isn't.

 

[Mr Saab]

Since NRL players are now judged on their last ten games, no he isn't.

Even if it was the last 50 games he would not be in the top 30

 

[LeagueXIII]

Yes.

No coincidence that teams he has been in as the key player have won

- NRL Premiership

- Four Nations Title

- World Cup

When these competitions started his teams were not the favourites.

 

[gUt]

Even in his current form he'd be a significant upgrade in the halves for:

The Cowboys
Broncos
Warriors
Knights
Panthers
Eels
Sharks
Dragons

Most other clubs he'd be a sidegrade, and they'd have to change their style to suit him.

In fact the only club that wouldn't want to see him at all would be Manly. Says something.

He can add a spoon to that collection soon.

That might be the case, but it also shows how bad the quality of halves we have out there are and does not make Benji look any better.

I dont want him anywhere near my club

Quite a compliment gUt. Marshall needs to tighten up his game, but he's a rocks and diamonds player - and that's not going to change, so us Tigers fans just have to cop the rocks - and as long as the diamonds come at a better rate, so be it I suppose.

Problem is, there's been no diamonds for 18 months now. It's been a shower of rocks.

Where there's life, there's hope - the life of a Wests Tigers fan.

 

[Matchball]

Married life f**ked him up. I'd be hitting that all day and probably quit footy altogether.
She is our Yoko ono.

 

[God-King Dean]

Did I miss the announcement on Benji Marshall's retirement?

When was it?

It's all so sudden.

 

[hardbaby]

Yeah lots and lots of rocks in the last 18 months. And the diamonds are getting smaller.
