Where does Benji Marshall Rank as NRL'S 5/8's?

[wolverine]

Does any realise how big Benjis head is getting? Geez some of you need to calm down on your words about him he's just a kid. Give him a few years more in the game and then you can talk him up all you want! He's not SBW...

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

SBW is not that much better than benji

Are you serious?

Everything I've seen of the kid suggests that he has a pretty level head, same with SBW.

 

[Phillips]

he's in the top 5 five-eighths in the comp.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

agreed!

You are a dead set goose if you believe that. He does enjoy himself as he should but he did this for his family so his mother and siblings have all the opportunities in life and don't have to worry about finances.

You want to look at a player with an over inflated ego than look no further than Jason Stevens

 

[Mr Saab]

top 5 maybe, but the distance between the top 2 and the next 3 is far.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Apart from his Chronic Wedgie-ing, wats wrong wit stevens

 

[smeghead]

Your probably right. I was trying to make the point that this person said all of this praise and exposure give him a big head. Stevens has more media exposure that most so therefor he must have one of the biggest heads in League

 

[Bobby DIGital]

I'd put Benji about 4th. Lockyer, Barrett, Jason Smith then Benji. He's already better than Anasta imo. Scott Hill's shoulders are way dodgier than Benji's btw.

Thats about right and now Smith has gone for the season Marshall probably would be 3rd.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

its a pity that Smith ruled himself out for origin, Qld would have been a much impoved side with smith there

 

[m0j0]

I'm not sure exactly where I'd rank him, but I know he's miles ahead of Finch, Crocker, Flannery, Wing and whoever else we've tried in that spot this year.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

Finch shud be playing resevre grade now, with Soward at half and flannery at 5/8th

 

[waltzing Meninga]

I'd say 4th. Based on form this year, i'd go with:

1. Jason Smith
2. Trent Barret
3. Darren Lockyer
4. Benji Marshall

 

[Raider_69]

Darren Lockyer, Braith Anasta, Trent Barrett and Jason Smith are the only ones i rank ahead of him at this stage

 

[Vicious]

1.Lockyer
2.Marshall
3.Barrett/Anasta

Those who rate Jason Smith ahead of any of the above players that i`ve listed are dead set kidding themselves???
Admittedly Smith does a lot of classy things when he`s on the field, but at his age and fitness, he`s a long way from being an 80 minute player. Besides that, Smith spends all his time at first reciever playing the role of a halfback despite wearing the number6!

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

he does that to cover for the raiders lack of a quality halfback

 

[Foz]

Lockyer
Smith
Barrett/Anasta
Sutton(I rate this bloke very highly)/Marshall.

 

[The_Coach]

Excluding the Eels current 5/8th, this is the order i rate them.

1) Thurston
2) Marshall
3) Lockyer
4) Barret
5) J. Smith
6) Sutton
7) Campbell
8) Dykes
9) Anasta
10) Hill
11) Fien
12) Whoever Newcastle pick
13) Whoever Roosters pick
14) Whoever Manly pick
