Get marshall out, now!

[hybrid_tiger]

Well said, I am sick to death of people questioning others loyalty just because they dare criticise the team. I'll criticise as much as I like, doesn't make me any less loyal. If I didn't care would I bother posting on a team forum? Wake up.

i was originally calling for fullback, but i dont like the idea of him under the high ball. i know barba managed, but i dont think marshall will be quite the same. he pretty much defends in the centres anyway (or atleast in the front line) so i think centre would be an easier transition.

Benji not a good 5/8???
Wow, plays a few bad games and the ridiculous calls come out! He is brilliant in the halves, if he ran the ball more then it would be great!

He didnt even play a few bad games , his attach on Friday was brilliant , his defence was exceptionally poor ….
This is just another dumb thread from an excruciatingly reactionary forum

Some of criticism on this forum is unfair , and it is fair to say that that people who post that criticism have no loyalty

EG : suggesting that Benji should be replaced in the halves by some one else , shows no loyalty to Benji .

Benji might be a defensive liability but he is one of the main reasons I drive for hour half way to Canberra. He can still do things that no other footballer can do. Now if it was my call I would put him back to six but really if we were playing a grand final tomorrow I would want him at 6 or 7\. His all round kicking game has been one of the very few positives for 2012\. I think Sheens should take him aside and give him a gentle rocket over his defense but that aside we a very lucky to have him where ever he plays

 

[happy_tiger]

Marshall was defending in the centres on Friday and look what happened

At least closer to the ruck someone can help him out and if he misses a tackle its not a likely speedster beating him and gaining big metres more likely a forward

Play Marshall at six and tell him if he doesn't run the ball he can play NSW Cup until he listens

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Tell me what Benji did in attack that was "brilliant" on Friday night?

I love Benji as much as anyone, but what he dished up on Friday was CRAP, stop sugar coating it.

Quite a few people call for Benji at fullback and whilst the old Benji would be great with the extra room, its worth noting that th eold Benji is gone and replaced with a new Benji that never runs and relies on a passing and hot or cold kicking game to spark something.

THe more critical thing is that at fullback Benji would be BASHED, and I dont think that is going to give him any longevity at his age.

People in the public eye, that every day people pay money to watch perform/act/sing/run the country, should never be exempt from criticism.

Unfair….pffft :unamused:

They are paid exceptionally well to be where they are, they know this and they also know that if they dont want the criticism they can always leave their high profile position and get out of the public eye.

If you all want to bash someone thats easy Mr Sheens …Benji should be playing 5/8 and the lower grade player in Miller or the like should be at 1/2.Make no mistake this is Sheens fault very lazy as also going into this year cutting 2 props without replacements. Benji has sucked it up and bowed to the master the problem is the Master gets no critisism ...the constant movement of players out of position is crazy,just for one minute think how the players are feeling getting bagged weekly because the Master wants them to produce out of position,I know what I would be saying and maybe they are with there performances unhappy campers maybe.Start to channel the critisism in the right direction.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Marshall is the effect, Sheens is the cause. What part don't we understand?

I recon its a fair call to put him back to 5-8\. He definately hasnt had the same impact at half back. As for all the other rot about Marshall playing in the centers well not going to happen is the nicest I can be. History will remember Marshall as one of the most devastating attacking footballers ever. Ther are not many players who introduce a move into the game that everone starts to copy ie the no look pass, which has given us so many wins over the years by the way. He is capable of game breaking attacking footy but is just struggling a bit at the moment. Perhaps a couple of weeks off may freshen him up a bit but then again who knows whats going on in his private life.

agreed with that.. i remember reading an extract from benji where he says how he has to deal with expectations, pressure etc and how he is always in the spotlight.. when you do anything on such a big stage, and are paid to do so, you should pretty much be expected to get criticised

Cronk does it with ease every darn week.

in no way reactionary. i was too drunk to watch the game on friday (well, remember it).

have been calling for him to be moved for a while. last year even the year before. im just sick of the same old same old.

our attack is bland and we can't create opportunity close to the line. the attack needs to be stimulated. sirro and moltz can do just as good a job as marshall in the halves. moving him infact gets it out of everyones heads that he's gonna pull a rabbit outta the hat, probably dig in more!

marshall & lawrence in the centres, its a grand final winning combination..

 

[bigsiro]

Reactionary is an understatement. There are often calls on these threads to even drop him.

Fact is Benji is the best attacking player most of us have ever seen.

He may be one of the worst defenders but if our messiah has a few shockers here and there we need to get behind him.

Prince was a horrible defender too, but what we would have given not to have lost him…...

 

[The_Tooth]

I cant believe anyone in their right mind would suggest moving Benji NOW. No coach would be so stupid. Lets just see what happens over the next few weeks with Robbie and Moltzen back along with Ellis. We hold our spine together and we make the finals. Look at Melbourne without Smith you fools.

I've read enough, I'm out!

Come on guys - now you have made the tooth pull out :laughing:
PS Don't give up tooth - we all support the same team

 

[Leich-a-tiger]

His defence has been awful

Center is the hardest position to defend in.

Why not fullback, he has a licence to roanm, chime in when he sees something, do some ball playing, be creative…call for an ovrlap....dunno defensively tho at #1

Yeah I've always wanted to see him given a run at fullback, I think it's the best fit for his style of play. The only thing counting against it at the moment is the lack of options to replace him in the halves, but it's definitely worth a try.
