Benji Marshall's most iconic moments | Retirement Reel | NRL Telstra Premiership | 2021

[@jonemataitoga3625]

Deserves Rugby League Immortality... everyone playing footy wanted to be like him. The flick pass the step. I was a big kid growing up, but I would always sneak in a step and a flick pass whenever I played and I would be my own commentator by saying Benjis name when I did it. My friends did so as well. First topic on Monday morning when we met in school was, " Hey did you see Marshall's game in the weekend" He was a childhood hero... The influence he had to kids watching NRL was unmatched. I know someday I'll show my kids clips of Benji and tell them all the stories of his games. Happy Retirement Benji👏. We will miss you. ❤

Yea oath 100%

[@TheRadFactor]

Same here. A prop doing Marshall steps and being told off by the coach😂

[@martinprice6706]

What a player. There are loads of candidates for greatest player of this generation, but I can’t think of a player as successful AND as entertaining as Benji Marshall in my 33 years watching RL.

[@isaiahcoe6532]

Successful probably no, but by far the most entertaining and skillful, absolute legend Benji

[@tanthaman]

Inglis is best

[@pube66]

100 percent facts!

[@user-uw4yb3oj7c]

So a career like no other comes to an end. The genius has left his mark on the great game like no other. Benji inspired millions of kids to not only play Rugby League, but to fall in love with at the same time. We all wanted to be like Benji in whatever thing we were doing, mostly when we had the footy in our hands. Those sharp steps, 50 meter field goals, guiding New Zealand to their first World Cup, an epic Four Nations win in 2010 and many more. Who could ever forget that flick pass in the 05' Grand Final. That will forever be imprinted as an iconic image in both Australian and New Zealand sport. Those 20-30 point comebacks on a Sunday afternoon. Fought through injuries off the field to get back to doing what he does best - inspiring and entertaining a generation. You will always be in our hearts Benji ❤❤❤. Marshall Skips away, Marshall skips away.....to Rugby League Immortality.

Well said!

[@tukamadafuka]

Couldnt agree more, well said mate

[@internetcommenter6145]

Make him an immortal. He won a premiership, he won a world cup, but more importantly he brought so much excitement to the game that has had a lasting impact and influenced a whole generation.

[@thatguynargh]

Deserves to have his name in contention for immortality. The way he played the game will be mimicked for generations to come.

[@lachiehutton6526]

Definitely absolute weapon in the on top 10 players for sure 💪💪💪

[@benjaminwaters241]

Not the absolute best player ever, but right up there with the greats, and by far the most inspiring and entertaining player of the NRL era. An entire generation of footballers owe their love of the game to Marshall

[@husseindirani9689]

He is one of the best

[@pat4711]

One of, if not the nicest man in rugby league, had the pleasure of meeting Sir Benji multiple times and he was always polite, respectful and always down to take a photo and have a chat with the young kids that looked up to him, thank you benji you absolute legend, will miss you ❤️

[@brian95331]

I've had the opportunity to play touch fotty with benji i will miss him case hes one of the greatest players and surely immortal 😇🥰🥰

[@tasmanianscallop435]

You lucky man he was a god at touch footy

[@jarainoz]

Absolutely true and Genuine super star. He will be deeply missed but forever not for forgotten. Wish you every success into your new life after professional rugby league

[@m.daniels1496]

Immortalise this man…..Benji you may have retired but your playing style will live on in NRL through the kids you inspired✊🏾

[@ChiefWiggum-sf7uq]

Undisputed the most entertaining rugby player to play the game. No doubt how excited bro Rabbs get when Tigers were playing

[@luisaguirre7912]

One of the best of the best unbelievable how good he was!!! Will be miss for ever go Benji !!✊🏾🔥🥲

[@RsDeepHalo]

Should be an immortal for sure. It shouldn’t matter if he wasn’t the absolute best player of all time, his influence on the game and the fans of that generation has got to count for something. No disrespect intended, but I can’t imagine kids would run around the school yard screaming out darren lockyers name while playing footy with their mates at lunch time. Everyone wanted to be like Benji. He deserves immortality for inspiring a generation of kids like never before.

[@paulieplayspoorly]

He's a Kiwi.

Started watching NRL because of Benji Marshall. no words can describe this man. Absolutely phenomenal! yet to find someone as incredible as he was! thanks for entertaining us for years Benji! Rugby league Icon

[@SuguAmesi]

Before RTS, Ponga & Shaun Johnson, there was Benji Marshall. Farewell Legend. 🙏🏼

[@GodIsGood4777]

If you compare his accolades with players like JT, Cameron Smith, Cronk, or Lockyer it really ain't that impressive. But if you wanna compare the amount of influence he had on revolutionizing the style of the game and motivating a whole generation of players and fans alike, it's honestly greater than any of those players mentioned above put together. On that ground alone I do believe he deserves to be made an immortal. Plus he's the nicest guy to ever play the game and we will miss him dearly 😪❤❤❤

[@xXSinForLifeXx]

Cronk Smith and Lockyer had the pleasure of playing in a stacked team full of superstars for pretty much their entire career. Benji was often carrying the Tigers by himself it's totally different. You put him in the Melbourne team next to cronk and he wins mutiple premierships.

[@KonFry]

A sportsman kids could always look up to. A legend. An immortal in my opinion

[@realifehaps6307]

Tearing up. Will truly miss you Marshall...

Had to watch that half way drop goal 4 times lol 👍 well done a magnificent career mate legend 👊

[@toolz9764]

that field goal is the greatest of all time, even after they added the 40 metre rule, he was a true legend

[@E_T_H]

Made me think Benji should’ve been the one to take that shot at the end of the game of the grand final haha. But will say I think Chris Sandow’s one from half way to win the game was equally as impressive.

Benji Marshall reminds me of Derrick Rose in the NBA, in his prime just an absolute menace on the rugby field. If grew up in the early 2000’s everyone wanted to step and flick like benji

[@stevechamberlain5583]

To me, I’ve never seen a more skilful player ever

[@thebpulse6477]

He isn’t the greatest player, but undoubtedly one of the greats. Where he does reign supreme is I don’t think there is a player that has inspired as many kids to play the game as benji has. Growing up in primary school from 2005-11 he was literally the biggest thing ever. Everyone was doing the benji sidestep and flickpass, he got kids that played soccer and AFL to play rugby league. The only person that was on his level of flare and superstardom at the time was jarryd hayne, with Greg inglis not far behind. I’ll definitely miss him, he was a big part of my childhood

[@johnnypepper881]

Make a full length one

[@danielgorry4705]

So many scored under the posts. He must have been a nightmare to defend in the middle.

[@Jsten16]

I hope tim sheens brings him in to mentor brookes/ in a coaching role. Tigers did him dirty last year when he was playing nuts footy- and they ended up doing worse in 2021. Benji is a born mentor. Get him in

[@user-wv4xc1us6u]

Lots of little kids started playing because of Benji

[@gorky1317]

Old boy should've gutted out one more season. He was big in Souths performance this year. and he'd easily be #3 on all time matches played

[@E_T_H]

These highlights are terrible. The lead up to all his tries are what should be shown because that’s what his greatness is defined by. The side stepping and crazy no look/flick passes are what all us kids growing up who watched him emulated. Anyone can score a try, but not many can score or set them up like he could. An absolute magician and genius of the game. The greatest 6 in NZ history nuff said.
