Benji Marshall

[@davecronin130]

These are from years ago these highlights he’s trash now

[@fuatapulatu7130]

Watch George taufua

[@yeetgore6018]

32 years old

[@rhyleeioane1232]

You need to watch Roger Tuivasa-sheck! He got MVP player in 2018 💪

[@NepDaStep]

I’ve heard his name quite a lot already I think I’ll react to him shortly

[@saintewhap4206]

Thats the man

[@laho_nucks]

Yep RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck) is a weapon and also plays for NZ Warriors. Johnson has left the Warriors and plays for the Cronulla Sharks.

[@official_clapz7559]

Yea he should

[@makavelliwilliams2910]

Yeees

[@bzapd3518]

He hasn't retired and yes hes from New Zealand the best place

Bzapd I am NZ and yeah your telling the truth

No he’s not

[@melissahandsaker722]

Benji marshal but highlights of his hole career not just 2019

[@tillyg1541]

melissa handsaker he was a beast in his prime

[@Angel-oj5in]

I played touch football & rugby league when I was younger I really liked Shaun Johnson hes been one of my favourite player's he's BRILLIANT! GOO JOHNSON!

[@aspidistratosphere]

And he's incredibly humble. Loveliest guy in the NRL

[@masiTzz]

Shaun Johnson still plays bro he's still pretty young at 28, also he's at the Cronulla sharks but international football he plays for New Zealand Kiwis also to add he plays against Tonga Next Friday US Time search up Kiwis vs Tonga 2019. Great reaction and if i were to add a player to react to it would be the tank Jason Taumalolo who will be playing for Tonga lol

[@NepDaStep]

I will definitely check that game out and possibly try to do a live stream

[@masiTzz]

@@NepDaStep Ohh love that Idea my guy, I'll be there if you do for sure

[@hawirawall2409]

Watch kiwi and tonga this weekend you won't be disappointed especially when the haka is performed to set the scene

[@Wreck_The_Ronin]

Lol Johnson scored twice vs Tonga in that game a few days ago

[@isaacrauluni6366]

I go for Fiji

[@sallymay24]

He isn’t retired ..but he has moved clubs...he is now at the Cronulla Sharks

[@NepDaStep]

Thanks for letting me know lol I was nervous

[@jacksinclair6524]

@@NepDaStep although he still plays, he's had more of an impact at the warriors. At the sharks he doesn't run the ball as much as he used too and didn't play his best this year (battling injuries and since it was his first year at the sharks). Maybe next year he'll have more of an impact, once he gets used to being at the sharks.

[@Xauthereal1]

He started his career with New Zealand warriors, he now plays with cronulla sharks and is around 29 years old, he plays at the half back position, which is similar to a pg/playmaker in basketball

[@NepDaStep]

This man would be a killer punt returner in the NFL

[@Xauthereal1]

@@NepDaStep I agree for sure, they're actually two players that transitioned from NRL to NFL. Jarryd hayne from parramatta eels and Valentine Holmes from cronulla sharks. Jarryd hayne played for 49ers special team and I think Valentine plays running back for the giants

[@matthewhorua5820]

You have a very good knowledge of physical skill . Many ppl wouldn't know the change of pace like you do

[@matthewshipley4421]

Look up benji Marshall highlights bro, he was who Shaun Johnson looked up too as a kid and he is still playing today!! 💪🏼💪🏼

@MAN UTD but whod win in a fight aye??? Yeh dats right 😤

[@robertpearson510]

reactions are classic bro and so humble,keep up the content yo new subscriber from nz hea 👍

[@NepDaStep]

thanks for the kind words Robert, glad to have you as a part of the Family!🤘🔥

[@rooman3334]

Shaun plays in NRL Cronulla Sharks (in Sydney) and right now he is at hes prime at 29. He was worlds best player in 2014 (golden boot) . He also plays for the New Zealand Kiwi's national team and is considered in the top 3 worlds best players in Rugby League., a gift from the Gods....

[@sammaka7894]

I was watching till the end and, you have the best videos👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I subscribed and watched all of your vids🌟🌟🌟

[@Earnthelux4999]

Johnson still plays and he’s still got it at the age of 28

[@calebfalloon3902]

Twixi sike he’s playing 6 at the sharks and he’s playing so average after all his injuries

[@Earnthelux4999]

caleb falloon yea I know he plays for the sharks duh I watch every nrl game 😂

[@Earnthelux4999]

caleb falloon and he’s also still got a good step on him

[@royceturia1562]

Also remember Shaun & other players play the whole game i.e. no subbing different teams onto the field. So not only is he fast, but they have to keep it up for most of the game. He is not only fast, and a stepper, but they have to be the play maker, play defense, assist tries, stop tries etc etc while trying not to get taken out. Then you get to see these high lights in between. It's hard out.

[@royceturia1562]

Yeah bro - Shaun Johnson chased down Greg Inglis and other "not as fast" players like Michael Jennings, Daniel Tupou etc - Total Speed & Stepping Freak. Often too - his tries & kicks were the winning tries & field goal kicks in the last seconds of the game especially that one where he juked or stepped the whole team. Shaun is not retired yet but he is getting older now. He is from NZ and used to play for NZ Warriors for ages. Now currently plays for Cronualla Sharks in Australia. He just played in the NZ game against Tonga last night and scored 3 tries. Tonga is becoming a power house in Rugby League now but Shaun is still carving up.

[@royceturia1562]

OH Yeah forgot to say the Rugby League World Cup is coming up - happens every 4 years (? - Google it). Hope Shaun Johnson makes it as it will not doubt be his last one.

[@NepDaStep]

Thanks for all your insight on the game Royce👍🔥

[@revxz4158]

Jarryd Hayne- The ultimate tribute. Won’t disappoint

[@ngatokoivatuakanakore9338]

The try 4:25. I was at that game. It was pouring down with rain here in Auckland, NZ. It was 16-16 between Warriors and Panthers so it was golden point, meaning the past full time so the 2 teams have a 5 minute break then carry on playing till the first team to score wins. Warriors lost the a few games before this during golden point so we fans were worried as hell. Usually teams go for drop goals when they're close to the post so the opposition look for an take out there best kicker. At this time Johnson was the kicker they were looking at taking him out before he drop kicks. He stepped them instead an went straight for the try line. Mt Smart Stadium went ape shit that night. YEEEAH BOY!!!!!!

[@DylzNZ]

The "fake hand off" is called a "dummy pass" and yes SJ is one of the best at it because of his elusiveness no-one knows what hes gonna do. Love your work brother.

[@reacher316]

4 years later and the bro is still playing. Back at the warriors

[@jamierobertson2018]

He's not retired but he left the warriors and went to the sharks and things haven't worked out for him yet but at his best it's amazing to watch. And if you want to see RUGBY LEAGUE at it's best make sure you watch next year's state of origin. NSW vs QUEENSLAND.

[@NepDaStep]

Definitely gotta get on that Jamie!

[@yungudon4715]

"New Zealand Cronulla Sharks" Nice

[@brendanyehh]

😂

[@khanpovey3367]

😂😂😂😂

[@rohangurungpriv]

I though he said New Zealand and Cronulla Shark but noo... Just no

[@JohnDoe-tc5bc]

That's when he played for nz Auckland warriors he plays for ausi sharks but hasn't been playing tht good

[@Hedriks]

yeah... shaun took the side-step to a whole new level when he came into the game

[@lottiesiaosi5598]

Shawn isn’t retired but he is fast

[@hornetsgospel6563]

3.52 he breaks his leg scoring that try and never really got back to his blistering best but is still capable of some magic

[@ss2gora0]

That was a dope reaction my bro!

[@NepDaStep]

allisrevealed233 thanks fam

[@shannonlester1662]

now he plays for sharks

[@lachiehutton6526]

Shaun Johnson is my favorite player in the world

[@mekisavaliga3003]

He used to play for New Zealand team call Warriors he plays in Australia now for a team call Sharks and he's still playing long way to go he's a special talent like your reactions though lol

[@NepDaStep]

I remember reading more and more about him after making that reaction...thanks Meki👍🔥

[@gromans01]

The thing about SJ was the way he moved like no other IMO, yeah he's been injured a few times and of course his game had to evolve ( just like Benji Marshall) but at his peak he was absolutely 100% the best. Way better than Ponga, yeah he has a step too but no were near as fluid/smooth. The only one near the move is RTS for me, BUT SJ can kick, makes more try assists than most and dummies/fakes better than the rest for sure! Past his peak of course but that style is over at 25 to be honest... Still the best I have seen ever!

[@Drugon-Dag]

I believe shaun johnson has the better step in his prime and in general has much better pace and field awareness than both rts and kayln ponga; although roger tuivasa-sheck probably has the most smooth, quick, and fluid split step I've seen so far.

[@memorykara222]

hi at 2:05/2:15 the change of speed we call a goose step, in America it would be similar to a hesitation or hesi in bball. He slows up gives a slight hop which is when he kicks his feet out. ( which slows the defender cos he is now worried of the side step) when u see the defender slow up u put the peddle down or in bball terminology you blow by your defender.oh you also hop before u sidestep.So the hop before the step or blow by is a hesi. So any player like benji marshall with a sidestep also has to have the goose step. as an alternative. Like crossover or blow by sorry i love bball aswell

[@MitchellOriginals]

dude he was GREAT, sadly he wasnt in the best team to win a championship. he had an injury which CHANGED alot and you see it in his performance post-injury. he wasnt at his best. still playing but i hope he gets this greatness back & wins a championship, he deserves it. *i know im late, but gotta comment*

[@Eddie_Mungus]

Love your reaction my dude

[@Braggeh]

Yeah Shaun Johnson straight fire

[@Braggeh]

Favourite player for ages but small fell out of form, maybe coming to end of career but still has time to refind form. Kayln Ponga been playing for not even 2 years and has more stylish steps coming from a touch background. In saying that so did Shaun Johnson and his touch clips can be found on youtube, with some dirty jukes.

[@NepDaStep]

Lots of Kayln Ponga requests bro I think I’ll react to him next

[@imsooobored123]

He was a touch footy player before playing rugby league, if you watch his touch highlights there’s a massive highlight video from 2007/8 on KZbin that shows his stepping like crazy, check it out dude it’s actually insane

[@TheRelenquished]

Instead of a fake we call it a dummie brother. Should check out RTS Roger Tuivasa-sheck. Shaun johnson played about 3 years with him at the warriors

[@zenko_zK]

he’s not retired but you can see in one of those highlights he broke his ankle and has had bad hamstring problems since and never been the same but still a solid player

[@jorichmurray1378]

CHESLIN KOLBE !!!! Next please 🔥🔥

[@NepDaStep]

Coming soon bro

[@liamsaunders6073]

Not retired he plays for sharks but is a lot older than then and he doesn’t run the field anymore and do those steps but he puts in really good assists now

[@Xauthereal1]

Benji Marshall career highlights, he is similar to Shaun johnson

[@vaughnwilliams8691]

Yep Benji Marshall highlights 🐅👑

[@mekebro27]

Benji was shaun idol growing. Patterned his step off him

[@taisynsullivan664]

shaun johnson is a beast im a big fan of the New Zealand warriors you need to watch his touch highlights that is where it started untill he was hit up to play rugby league

[@nitsujnaej]

Shaun Johnson was at his best before he suffered a bad leg and ankle break in 2015. After that, he was a shadow of his past.

[@fwuahowt]

Hes from New Zealand but he plays for Cronulla Sharks (Australian Team)

[@isaacrauluni6366]

I’m from Australia and he played for New Zealand Warriors and now plays for Cronulla Sharks

[@Xauthereal1]

And a field goal is worth one point, u can kick a field goal at any time in the game. Field goals are very hard to do because you have to allow the ball to bounce of the ground before you kick it, we call it a drop kick. Field goals are usually attempted towards the end of the match to clutch a win.

[@briangordon8061]

he was in his prime back then but he still plays and is still one of the best halves in the game

[@centaursauckland]

Lets go! All the way from NZ💯

[@tane5802]

2024 is supposed to be his last season for the NZ Warriors (only NZ team in the Australian comp) first game of our season is in NZ on the 8th March.😉

[@hectrix6985]

He’s older now and is in the Cronulla sharks instead of the NEW ZEALAND Warriors

[@stevesut2566]

Correct Package some people have the other one...which is still great !! He still plays for the Cronulla Sharks and New Zealand.

[@skuxkarnage_ttv4756]

He doesn't play like this anymore bc he broke his leg

[@davidalbert7927]

All he does is kick mostly he doesnt really step anymore

[@joshmigotto4882]

He got his steps back in the world cup nines this year

[@aaronc7542]

He's slowed down a lot by the looks of things in the world cup.

[@jamespasifull]

He's good, but I thank god I'm old enough to remember the Welsh rugby Union team of the early 70's, with Phil Bennet (the original sidestep king!), Gareth Edwards (best player in the world......by far!), JPR Williams (toughest SOB at full back, & a qualified MD!) Every other member of the team was a star player, & they were genuinely feared by EVERY team on the planet, at the time!

[@ltogiahoe2012]

Up the wahs!! Hes back with the Warriors 🤟😁

[@BoggPSO]

he is playing live now he is also 29

[@elementzr6s2]

He used to play for the New Zealand Warriors. Now he plays for cronulla sharks

[@aidanbinskin2390]

You should react to shaun Johnson’s touch highlights he is so much better in that it was in 2007 and 2008

[@-AEDOS-]

Your watching his old highlights when he played for New Zealand Warriors, now he plays for the Cronulla Sharks he is still good but no where near him at warriors.

[@NepDaStep]

Guess I chose the more entertaining highlights from earlier on in his career

[@jackkerney2861]

You also need to react to Semi radradra highlights. Guy was a beast 🙏🏻

[@Xauthereal1]

Yes react to semi please, he played rugby league for parra

[@NepDaStep]

Thanks for requesting him I’ll check him out soon Jack

[@lix4509]

Now he's playing rugby union in france

[@deathslayer-qb7fl]

He is still playing but in the last yew years of his career. Watch quentin ponya in his first year he is special, watch the career of benji marshall what a talent and the amazing skills of roger toa sheck. Now put them all together what you got KIWIS mate. One big difference between kiwis and Australians is that in NZ everyone playing rugby union or league is taught how to kick the ball and then pass and tackle. In Australia they are taught passing and tackling. This means that many nrl teams have a kiwi as there kicker also big front rowers from NZ can kick the ball.
