Benji Marshall #70

[Guest]

The compounding effect of Benji’s poor defence cannot be understated because it places more pressure on the guys defending inside and outside of him. It's part of the reason why Garner has struggled more this season. BJ isn't the world's greatest defender either but it creates hesitation in the defensive line and once the hesitation is there, it's pretty well damn near impossible to stop it.

Sweet. The problem with the wests Tigers is Benji. Get rid of him and it's onwards and upwards. Remember that was the quick fix solution at the end of 2013 as well. Groundhog day...

No it wasn't, Benji asked for a release with 2 years left on his contract in 2013, they didn't get rid of him

They said yes to the request so they decided to get rid. And the years of success flowed. Benji made the semis 2 out of 3 years....2 more years than this organization

That is one bog ordinary argument, he kicked up a stink and wanted out, hardly the club getting rid of him, but you carry on with your Benji love mate.
Saints got rid of him in 2016, Broncos a year later in 2017, if Wayne loved him that much he would have signed him up, but no club wanted him at the end of 2017. Now 3 years later there are no clubs fighting for his signature, Benji as a good player ceased to exist after 2012.

Surely you can let this go now?

While Benji was awesome no doubt, let’s not forget Richards in that try. For a start he was needled up and it was unbelievable that he was even on the field. Richards caught Benji’s flick pass on a bung leg. Secondly the fend he put on Jensen with his right arm was equally as magical when considering he usually carried the ball with that arm and had never fended anyone before with his right arm. The whole try from start to finish was one of the great Grand Final trys.

Had Richards not did what he did would Benji still have reached the heights of fandom he did? It’s an interesting thought.

I was thinking the same when I posted
“Marshall skips away “
Richards was awesome...
If he’d have dropped that pass and we lost I believe Benji would’ve been gone a long time ago ..

Agree totally on this - Richards does not get the accolades he deserved for this try. Basically if you listen to most people you would not know that Richards was involved at all.

A pass from Hodgson sent Benji on his way upfield, breaks an attempted tackle by Sing, then a brilliant flick pass by Benji, miraculously he caught it himself, gets away from Bowen, sidestepped Jensen whilst pushing him away, scored the try - will attempt to kick the goal.

Did Richards really play? - One of the greatest solo tries of all time - Yeah right!

Funny reading all this. Richards was always the one I looked up to.

 

[Telltails]

I remember Richard's being very much heralded a hero for more than the just flick pass and great finishing. It was very well reported about what he had to do just to get on the field. Don't see why we have to play one off another to make one seem less valuable - sure as hell that neither of them would be thinking along those lines.

Who is doing that?

I don’t know, I think Richards would be reminding Benji every time he sees him. 🙂

It’s all good Benji is gone **we are on our way** to the promised land all problems solved according to some

Yep, finally feel we have moved on from 05 now.

Mate I’m with you didn’t come across the way I ment maybe, 15 years of on field problems all Benji and Robbies fault.
I think that Brooks is up next

Just don't mention where Thurston was taken out after the kick that opened the hole. ???

I am merely pointing out that Benji wasn't forced out of the club in 2013, the club should not be getting belted over this decision by a Benji lover who feels aggrieved

FOX were talking about the 2005 WestsTigers run to the GF this week, they mentioned that even at training they looked good, and if they could replicate the training on game day, no one could go with them, some rare good press

Mate, he is gone, let the ones that wanted him to stay vent. Without toing and froing the discussion will be over and done with a lot quicker.
