Benji Marshall #70

[Guest]

Just caught the Benji 360 interview and I realized a couple of thing, firstly it wasn't too bad and secondly there are some people on this forum that are too thin skinned. I am not a denier, Benji's time has come, we all know that, his style of play doesn't translate well to the modern game. I thought the interview was measured, it didn't cover anything that hadn't already been said, it wasn't anti Madge and it put the emphasis for the performances back on the players not handling pressure and not being consistent.
Benji shouldn't play again, not for fear of damaging his legacy, or other rubbish, the game has moved on, its time he did too. This next bit is not a job for the boys scenario, but the Tiger's should get him to do their media, we all know he is adept at it, he has the ability to get most people on side, people listen to him, he relates to the fans and media like no one else, he knows virtually everyone and he is better than whoever is doing it now.

Post of the day!

Agreed, the interview was nowhere near as bad as some people have made out.

Yes it was. He just keeps scratching away at the pillars of stability. Someone that loves the club would keep his mouth shutt so as to cease any shadow of doubt about club harmony or disenchantment. Not our Benji though.

We'll agree to disagree. I don't have a problem with anything he said or how he said it.

Anyone know why Benji didn’t want his family to attend his last game?

He is a sook

I agree it was just unnecessary and When you take shots at the club I’ll always side with the club I don’t care who you are.

So are the people still whining about him after he has left the club.

Why did he fee the need to bring up egg shells and his axing?

I thought he said the axing made him more determined to prove the coach wrong, nothing wrong with that. To me it shows determination. Also imo, it showed how some players are a bit precious and can't handle hard work and criticism.

I’m just unsure why he felt need to bring this up in that interview

Exactly right. He answered honestly and there was no malice in what he said.

Not sure, maybe trying to show no bias, getting ready for his media career 🙂

I don’t think so. That was just Benji’s regular weekly segment. The hosts were in their right to question him about the season just passed... You could see he is still hurting. Did his best to stay respectful but that ended for me when responding to the question about advice he has for Madge. He responded that Madge needs to use different approaches for different players rather than one size fits all... I don’t think that needed to be said in public... He also started off the segment referring to Tigers using “we” and ended up using “them”.
