for the most influential player in Wests Tigers history -

who would it be?

For me - it's BMM.

I put that out there. Dare have a say.

 

[tiger05premier]

Are you referring to the game when ww dropped Fifita and put BBM in and he had no impact at all. I think it was a semi final

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

no - but what you say doesn't surprise me.

 

[Cosimo_Zaretti]

Hard to tackle when he hit the line at speed. Quick for a big man too. It's a shame his hands let him down.

This is how I'll always remember him.

My apologies guys - thanks Cosimo for pulling me up - not him - Benji Marshall Magic - you know BMM
Benji changed the course of our history.
I guess what I'm trying to say - was there anyone else more influential than him in our history.

I don't think so.
In each of the semis and gf of 2005 he produced something special that got us going.
He was something else

I thought you were talking about Ben Murdoch Masilla

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

no - I'm talking about the most influential player in Wests Tigers history.

 

[tiger05premier]

Yeah i read the title than saw the letters BBM and thought you were having a shot at some of our worst performers

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

impossible - they are all heroes - but did 1 stick out more than the others?

 

[tiger05premier]

I would have to agree with you on Benji but to add some also rans i would say Brett Hodgson Mark Oneill and John Skandalis had a big influence on the club in their own way on and off the field but yes Benji is the clear winner i would say

I think Hodgson was our best in 05\. Benji though has been our best player. Prince was great but he did a runner and he will never get that spot. Robbie deserves a mention but there is no way he will ever go down as our best player. Benji then daylight then Robbie then Hodgson and then Prince.

Tedesco should become our best player but it's a while before he gets that spot.

couple of years and teddy will the best and most influential. leading us tigers where we should be, in the top 4 for one year, then missing out for 4 in a row. wont they be the days

 

[Flippedy]

Hodgson hands down!

 

[Swordy]

Fitzhenry

Hodgson by a mile. Rarely missed goals, a natural leader and had a ton of heart. I cannot believe some people are saying Marshall.
