Mm, does anyone think he will be leading at the end of the year?
I think its a 3 horse race between Benji, Thurston and Soward.

Personally i think Carney will win it.

 

[MacDougall]

If Marshall starts kicking accurately he will win it by a mile. We score enough tries for him to do so that's for sure. Coupled with the fact that he scores so many himself. He'll probably win it anyway.

Origin will rule out Thurston. I'm hoping it can be winning it at the end of the year will be a nice collect

Imagine if he could kick goals, he'd win it by a mile.

Here's hoping his kicking improves.

I think Luke Burt. He's been injured hench why he's not up there, but he'll probably bag at least 10 tries for the year, probably more, and if Parra fire, he'll get heaps of shots at goal (because they'll score heaps of tries). The top point scorer is usually a winger anyway. Michael Gordon is another goer, he's the best goal kicker in the league in my opinion.

Has there ever been a more prolific try scorer playing at 5/8? I think not. More than any other footballer, Marshall has the uncanny ability to in the right place when he's required. Take his try last week; there was no real reason he should be the one breaking up Lote's break, but there he was. I suppose it's a combination of his anticipation and phenomenal speed.
