I remember this game 10 years ago. When we called him in from school mid week to play up there. I think he might of played fullback and we squeaked home 12-10against the odds. Anyway he ran wild on the Broncos. Thats all he did, didn't pass or organise, just ran and stepped and jinked.
Tomorrow he should try and run wild on Brisbane again. They have the most missed tackles in the league with 415\. Matt Gillett has missed the most tackles in the NRL, Alex Glenn the 5th most. Scott Prince is a dodgy defender and their props are slow. They are a side under a huge amount of pressure and they are low on confidence. Suncorp is usually the fastest track in the league. We don't have much to lose, as $4 outsiders and with a stack of injuries. It's a great chance for him to just rip in and try and run the ball. We don't have great hole runners, or fast centres for any great ball playing or kicking.
Marshall with the old swagger would have seen this as a perfect opportunity to tear up a team guessing themselves. When was the last time he got tackled 10 times in a game? Would anyone be unhappy if Potter told Benji the gameplan is for you to get tackled 10 times? I was deflated that against Penrith, a similarly suspect defensive team he seemed content to try and steer us around and play in his dinner suit.
His partnership with Siro is showing signs of progress. Im confident he can do some real damage tomorrow if he just decides to pin his ears back and rip in. They have players in their side that will struggle to handle him. It's an opportunity to have his best game of the season. However does he still have the zip? the hunger?
