We'd never won a spoon until a few years ago.
Benji played 3 games as an 18 year old (In 2003)
In a myriad of Positions (Debuted at Fullback if I remember)
Played less than 10 the year after before injury, about half of them in the halves.
Played behind Scott Prince in 05, and less than half a season (Behind Prince) in 06.
Injured again for a fair bit of 07,
Benji wasn't tasked with leading this team until his mid 20's, 08-11 when he hit his prime.
If all of the above wasn't the case - It still wouldn't be a fair comparison,
There's been 1 Benji Marshall in 120 odd years of Footy.
