I was at Shark Park for the Fitzhenry try, in the main grandstand. Me all alone in my Tigers gear with a sea of Cronulla jersey's, Cronulla beanies, Cronulla seat cushions, Cronulla scarves all around me. We'd scored a couple of tries before that and the big screen showed 1 or 2 replays. This try got about 5 or 6. After the front on replay was shown they were all on their feet applauding. One of them turned around and said to me "how great was that?". Benji at his best transcends team loyalties, national loyalties. Great player, great person. The single most joyful player to watch in my 50+ years.
Hey mate Benji is still relevant today as he marches into South Sydney Grand Final this Sunday 3rd October 2021. Still playing with all the skills he's honed over his time. Giving young and old players the gift of his knowledge ....So proud of Souths for giving him this chance after Wests turned their back on him. He's rugby League royalty.
If he's not in consideration to be an Immortal, let this video argue his case. I mean...the side steps, the no look and back passes, intercepts, kicks and chases, field goals from 50m. He's done things others simply cannot do on a regular basis. The guy changed the game. To me he is the most influential player for most of the players in the modern era.
Dragons fan here. Benji is a legend. Influenced a whole generation. Growing up playing backyard footy, everyone wanted to be Benji. Such a goat. Will be a sad day when he retires. Respect!
A legendary strike weapon with classified lethal capabilities is probably the best way to describe the man. Definitely one of the most influential Kiwi players of all time, and certainly within this recent era. The way he added air time to the jink step, was inspiration for a multitude of younger players following in his wake. Truly was poetry in motion to behold. E te Rangatira Riki, nui tonu to mana.
The great thing about benji is when he throws those outrageous passes, all the other players know they are coming and all expect the unexpected and he caught the opposition every time, great stuff and a pleasure to watch😊
From Whakatane NZ same place as Benji I'm 24 now but growing up watching Benji I wanted to be like my hero.i supported the tigers because of you and still to this day tigers are my team...you made me proud to be Maori and I'm so happy I can say I grew up watching the great Benji magic marshal
I've seen a lot of the really great ones over the years and Benji is right up there with the best of them. A rare and special talent. I hope his retirement is a long, happy and healthy one. Thank you for all the special memories champion!
He went from a super star kid to a very humble grown man...no one does more for kids than he does. Benji has spent countless hours visiting sick children in hospital and doing as much as he could for those that he needed help. A legend off the field as much as on the field.
A player like Benji only comes along once in 30 years. I am so glad I had the privilege of watching him play for 18 years at the highest levels of NRL. He will be sadly missed especially the magic he weaved on the field whether it was playing for the Tigers, Saints, Broncos, Souths, New Zealand or playing touch footy in the State Knockouts. He was a spectacle to behold....a real magician and a nice guy to boot!

From 2009 to 2011 he was the best player in the world. Amazing speed and footwork never died wondering and most importantly just a good human being thanks for all the memories Benji Marshall
Hey guys, Benji has just retired September 2021 helping South’s get to this years grand final and narrowly losing…I implore you guys to watch this reel again and then do the right thing and push Benji Marshall’s case for being inducted as an Immortal of the game to the top of the NRL, ARL and to all the key decision makers….he genuinely deserves it ✊🏼 cheers guys
Fantastic highlight reel. 🤙🏽👌🏽👍🏽😎 Benji will probably go down as the most entertaining NRL player of all time! From his sidesteps to his ‘no look’ passes to his pace to his ‘chip & chase’....He was one hell of a player!
Before shaun johnson,roger tuivasa sheck & kaylen ponga there was Benji 'the magician' Marshall...&what about that no look pass tho?..havent seen it again since?...
He’s the only one with a championship ring. Beat Thurston in the grand final. Won the RL World Cup. This guy has done it all. Greatest Kiwi league player ever.
Benji was the most entertaining 5/8 to watch. the side steps, the no look passes, the over lap passes, the haircut and talent. Every kid back then wanted to be Benji on the playing field.
Benji got alot of people interested in football so many kids wanted to watch him play and be like him. As a Tigers fan I can say he's the best player our club has had and is a big reason I was so dedicated to them now and then.
Benji Marshall the legend. He went to school at Keebra Park State High School and i went to Southport State High School back in 2003. Miss the 2000's NRL games..
Something I learned today was that my homeroom teacher refereed benji when he used to play in local football clubs as a child, my homeroom teacher used to be a referee before she took the job as a teacher.
Benj had that tigers side humming! 05 to 11 they were so so good to watch.. and I hated when we had to play them coz ol mate would always burn us! Congrats Benji, you're a legend of the game
Watching this is incredibly bitter sweet. To see where the wests tigers are now compared to what they once were uhh makes me so sad as a beloved tigers fan. 😢
Gotta admit as kids growing up in early 2000s we all wanted to be like benji
💯
Yup
I hear ya mate !! We all have tried that Flick Pass at least once in our life !!
yep
Now as men we still wanna be Benji what a guy 🙌🏻

Well said mate, 2005 was a great year.
💯
beautifully said king phelpsy
Benji was god tier in his prime
@rtd lol
@rtd yeah true everyone was stepping and wannabe benji lol
@MUFC fam no one cares
@rtd haha so true!!!

One of the greatest to ever do it.
Can’t believe this legend we grew up watching and emulating is playing in another Grand Final. 16 years on from his last with the tigers, insane!
If he's not in consideration to be an Immortal, let this video argue his case. I mean...the side steps, the no look and back passes, intercepts, kicks and chases, field goals from 50m.

Because it’s a Aussie sport 😂they don’t want kiwis too be one 🤷♂️
he didn't do enough to be an immortal, but will definitely go down as on of the greatest of this generation.
@@isaacwells6236 I disagree I think Marshal was up there with Andrew Johns for sure.
No way. Good highlights but poor winning record
@@gregdogg10 Id argue he did quite a lot.
won a premiership and World Cup.
But I think the impact he had on the culture of rugby league is undeniable
Dragons fan here. Benji is a legend. Influenced a whole generation. Growing up playing backyard footy, everyone wanted to be Benji. Such a goat. Will be a sad day when he retires. Respect!
And that day is today. 😔
Man i loved benji i always wished he played for the warriors
His great except I’d rather Shaun Johnson
This is why Benji Marshall should be anointed with ‘Immortal’ status in Rugby League.
Bit hard when he's still playing isn't it?
As much as I love to watch him attack, an Immortal needs to be able to defend as well.
@@peterpiper831 Thurston was a horrible defender too but seems to be considered an immortal already...
@@richardrea2735
I know.
I really dislike the expressions
"Future immortal" and
"Immortal in waiting."

Bring back those days!
tooold

How good was the Rabs call "Dont tell me !""You've been told" classic Benji classic Rabs !!!
Benji Marshall, what a legend...I'll never forget that name 👏👏👏
Who's here after his retirement? Deadset legend, will miss watching him. Part of my childhood goooone
Thanks for everything Benji the moments we'll never forget them.
I was never a Tigers fan but I loved watching him play
There will never be another Benji, he made league fun to watch, true Entertainment, respect.
Possibly the best attacking player ever.
Agreed
Definitely
His skill was incredible
Dude's beasting again. He might not be as physically fit and explosive as before but he is a much smarter footy player now.
Absolutely brilliant, greatest Wests Tigers player of all time.
That ender though, was waiting for it the whole time, the NZ GOAT 🔥🔥
Has to be an Immortal. He changed the game. 2022 and those passes are part of the game.
From Whakatane NZ same place as Benji I'm 24 now but growing up watching Benji I wanted to be like my hero.i supported the tigers because of you and still to this day tigers are my team...you made me proud to be Maori and I'm so happy I can say I grew up watching the great Benji magic marshal
If you can confuse the camera man, you are on another level... Benji was on that level...
Benji is still such an influencing player! The guy needs immortal status and a coaching gig!!!
He's coaching tigers now bro haha
1 N ONLY.BENJI MARSHALL.HE REPRESENTS NEW ZEALAND RUGBY LEAGUE.
I've seen a lot of the really great ones over the years and Benji is right up there with the best of them. A rare and special talent. I hope his retirement is a long, happy and healthy one. Thank you for all the special memories champion!
I'm a Broncos Fan but honestly Hands down Benji was truly a Magician twinkle toes of NRL
He went from a super star kid to a very humble grown man...no one does more for kids than he does. Benji has spent countless hours visiting sick children in hospital and doing as much as he could for those that he needed help. A legend off the field as much as on the field.
Some blokes you just never want to finish. Thanks for the memories & entertainment and all the best for the future; you’re a great great man 👍❤️💚
For me the greatest. What a player. As a Rabbitohs fan its an absolute steal to get him from Wests.
I know this'll probably be his last season but can't believe tigers let him go
@@liamevans8726 will be sad to see one of my childhood heroes retiring, even if it's not at the tigers
A player like Benji only comes along once in 30 years. I am so glad I had the privilege of watching him play for 18 years at the highest levels of NRL.

As a Knights supporter who’s had NOTHING since Johns left we could only dream of such quality. Definitely deserves immortal status
Now that's how you do a highlight Reel Video 👌🏽
One of the greatest most unique players in Rugby League history, he's inspirational, love watching his moves.
That last play though 🔥 💯
THE BEST NRL HIGHLIGHTS IN THE GAME. Benji Marshall what a player

Absolute pleasure to watch. All the best B.
Coming back from watching them play against the titans last night. AMAZING!!!!
Just one of those player you would watch even though you wasn't a tigers fan & even till this day he still shows some class,, legend of a player💪🙌👏
That last try against parramatta even confused the camera man
Benji Marshall is the reason why I love the West Tigers!!! 🟠⚫️🟠⚫️
Benji too good and still the best magical player always, Wil be really missed by everyone. You've been a true legend. God bless you and your family.
That last pass v parramatta, man alive. Never gets old watching that and hearing Rabs and Gus go off. 😮
Fantastic highlight reel. 🤙🏽👌🏽👍🏽😎
Benji will probably go down as the most entertaining NRL player of all time! From his sidesteps to his ‘no look’ passes to his pace to his ‘chip & chase’....He was one hell of a player!
The human highlight reel.
That was good shit
His side steps was the best during that time.
impressive steppng
THE G.O.A.T Tumeke brother, pure Maori talent and Class!!!
He gets the class from his European side. 😅🤣
Brilliant natural talent.
Before shaun johnson,roger tuivasa sheck & kaylen ponga there was Benji 'the magician' Marshall...&what about that no look pass tho?..havent seen it again since?...
He’s the only one with a championship ring. Beat Thurston in the grand final. Won the RL World Cup. This guy has done it all. Greatest Kiwi league player ever.
AreLL Lio jt has a championship ring.
Cronk to Slater comes to mind - no look pass...
Kalyan
@@deevita7459 jt has one with bulldogs one with cowboys
He is the definition of creativity.. BENJI is my favourite player even though I dont support and watch a lot of Rugby stuff..🔥👑
Who here is crying that’s he’s retired now :(
Ce mec est incroyable! Quelles passes formidables!
Benji deserves to be an Immortal! In his prime, guy was supernatural.
Benji was the most entertaining 5/8 to watch. the side steps, the no look passes, the over lap passes, the haircut and talent. Every kid back then wanted to be Benji on the playing field.
There will never be another benji marshall ❤
Benji got alot of people interested in football so many kids wanted to watch him play and be like him.
As a Tigers fan I can say he's the best player our club has had and is a big reason I was so dedicated to them now and then.
Absolute rugby genius
What a magic career he had... awesome Benji! 👍
Benji doesn't need to be declared an immortal. He is an immortal by default.
Benji Marshall the legend. He went to school at Keebra Park State High School and i went to Southport State High School back in 2003. Miss the 2000's NRL games..
Something I learned today was that my homeroom teacher refereed benji when he used to play in local football clubs as a child, my homeroom teacher used to be a referee before she took the job as a teacher.
This is real rugby league entertainment 💯👍
The man! Every opposing coaches nightmare!
One of the best.
@Ceivexus Totally Agree.
Fantastic video.
The best running 6 EVER 🤲⬇️
Benj had that tigers side humming! 05 to 11 they were so so good to watch.. and I hated when we had to play them coz ol mate would always burn us! Congrats Benji, you're a legend of the game
What an inspirational player. A true great of the game!
Honestly...how can anyone dislike this video and call themselves a rugby league fan?
Was the best at that time goat
Got to be an immortal for sure.
The generation of young talents he influenced. He is definitely one of the greatest to ever do it..
His flick passes were second to none 👌🏻
Watching this is incredibly bitter sweet. To see where the wests tigers are now compared to what they once were uhh makes me so sad as a beloved tigers fan. 😢
He was just too good
Best highlight reel in nrl history the skill is breathtaking and there are plenty of highlights not in this video
One of the greatest players of the game ever.
Had Unique flick passes that finds its mark.
Great watching those times. Was a fan...
Tricks the camera man at 5:59
he felt for it😂😂
Last 4 clips defined his play style 💯
Benji qualifies in all department. His steps and no look passes were a class.
Benji you are a legend. Your bring flare to NRL that otherwise be straight forward.
Before Shaun Johnson this guy burnt everybody in the field. Good to see this video look back at his skill and talent.
While everyone was trying to be like Mike. All us in nz/aus we’re trying to be like benji.
That last highlight 🤯💯
That pass at 5:10 I don't think I've ever seen another player pull that off
OH!!! DON'T TELL ME... YES!!! YOU'VE BEEN TOLD!!!
He was the best player in the world there for a while. Still playing good footy.
Greatest 5/8 ever.
Benji Marshall West Tigers all-time Great NRL player ever !!!
