@@UNCLEBILLYTEE He didn't "beat" JT, he was part of a winning GF team. He also left rugby league so will never be given the legendary status because of this. That was considered sacrilege by the NRL (not that I care)

@@deanbilton he did beat JT, he won the 2005 grandfinal lol. Doesn't change the impact he made on rugby league or the way the game was played. He had just as big impact as JT has had. From 2005 2011 everyone wanted to be benji Marshall, that's immortal status in my books regardless if he left league or not.

@marztar 4 жыл бұрын

Just because you didn't read about it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Benji was the face of NRL for a long time. Players like that are protected. Not saying he's not a good bloke. Just that there would be countless incidents where NRL damage control makes sure the public never know about anything that could ruin the profitability of high profile players. Every sport has it. Every industry for that matter. That's why PR is such an important element of any entity seeking capital. It's not the truth they matters. It's what people think is true.

Shame how his career finished really, once he left Tigers the first time he was still a young man and had some good offers from some good clubs including Melbourne, Brisbane, Cronulla, NQ who had established forwards and in a good spot... he chose Dragons who were a basket case at the time. He'd still be one of the best halves in the comp if he had a permanent crank.
