Got a ton of suggestions to check out Benji Marshall after I reacted to Shaun Johnson's best moments: • HOCKEY FAN REACTS: Sha...
Awesome video. Could really tell why you all suggested Benji. Lots of amazing plays and such, very similar to Johnson stylistically. Really cool to see that Benji won a premiership, which Shaun is lacking as of now. Curious about Benji's coaching career though. I touched on it towards the end of the video but what are your guys thoughts? Is the situation with the Tigers sort of his fault or is he just not in a position to succeed for other reasons (money, bad owners, etc? Let me know Wests fans.

Sonny Bill Williams is probably the most high profile one because he went from league to union to league to union and back to league,and he was exceptional in both, having a super successful career in both.
Playing 128 NRL games and representing the Kiwis 12x and playing 111 first grade rugby games and representing the all blacks in 58 test matches, so SBW probably the best who could seamlessly interchange between the codes at the highest level and be more than just a bench or interchange player, another great who excelled in both codes is Brad Thorn(but his representative career plays out a bit different) playing 200 nrl games for the Brisbane broncos,10 state of origin matches for Queensland, and 3tests representing Australia, his rugby union career consisted of over 100 super rugby matches for highlanders and crusaders, and representing new zealand in 58 test matches. And 1 other notable mention, the only man to reach the top level in 3 codes is Israel folau,playing over 90 NRL games,representing Queensland in 5 state of origin matches and the Australian kangaroos in 8 test matches,before a brief career in the AFL playing 13 games for greater western Sydney, before taking up a rugby career where he played 96 super rugby games for the waratahs and playing 73test matches for the Australian Wallabie where he is tye all time leading try scorer in wallabies history, those are probably the ones with the highest accolades Israel was exceptional in union and league,but didn't live up to expectation, honorable mentions- to Wendell sailor,Lote Taquiri, Marc Ellis. And many failed attempts at cross over Benji Marshall and Sam Burgess being the most high profile ones, roger tuivasa sheck made it to the top in union playing a few games for the All Blacks,but never quite cemented himself or had the impact he had in union,and was definitely getting pushed down the pecking order in his union career
Sonny Bill Williams has World Cup wins in Both League and Union, He was part of that 2008 rugby league world cup right? He was not out injured? I remember him scoring that last Try in the Final of the 2015 world cup final.
Also Don't Forget Brad Thorn, He was a Rugby Union Great, he Won a World Cup for the All Blacks, So he played international rugby union for NZ for years, and He also Played Rugby League for Australia he was a Kangaroo, and I am not sure he might be another one who has Won Both a Rugby Union World Cup 2011 and a Rugby League World Cup 2000.
Nice one. I really like this tribute to Benji, though I wish it showed more of his dummy passes. Because he could run, pass and kick guys used to bite on his fakes so bad.
When it comes to the coaching, I think a lot of flair players especially find it difficult to pass on their ideas. It's often the more average players, who had to work really hard to have a long career, that make the better coaches. Of course there are exceptions to that, but its generally true in most sports..
As a totally unrelated suggestion, since it's Paddy's Day tomorrow, was wondering if you have done any reactions to Hurling? With a name like Eamonn I'm guessing you have connections :)
Ah ok yeah that makes sense. Same situation in hockey where the lower end players seem to make the best coaches.
I actually don't have any connections to Ireland haha. My mom visited when she was young and really liked the name. No actual family connection or anything. I have hurling on the list. Not sure how soon I'd be getting to it though.
Benji was famous for his side step (Juke as a North American/Canadian). He was inspired by a touch football player named Remus Gentiles. His footwork was next level. There is one video of him on youtube but that just scratches the surface.
You need to check out Warriors v Storm and Cowboys v knights. Best games of the round, down to the wire and 1 went to extra time!
The Tigers are bad because no good player wants to play for a team coming last, and the only way to get good recruits is by overpaying for players, which ruins the teams salary cap and prevents the tigers from having a good spread of experience and new players in their team. For any team trying to come off the bottom of the latter it isn't easy. Benji status may attract talent, but I'm doubtful they'll improve my much or at all
they played brilliantly and pumped the Sharks.
@MusMasi I'll amit the Tiger surprised me. I wouldn't mind seeing Benji succeed. We'll see if they can build some consistency this season. I don't think they'll do better than the bottom 4 tho
Because the game style is close between union and league, you'll find players switching between either codes. And yes many have switched. Some do go back because they find it hard adapting. One of the guys in that Tigers team (he looks like he has dreads) Tukere, used to play for the Wallabies.
Sonny Bill Williams used to play for Bulldogs, and Roosters.... ended his career playing for NZ All-Blacks. Funnily, he was playing both codes at once, very strange, but I think it was due to contracts. Coaches weren't willing to let him go.
Benji started 8 years before Shaun. Almost all players try an imitate Benji these days, no look passes and the step.
All these quick nimble players played touch football. It’s fast pace and agility is high
cant wait for you to see the wrap up of round 2. saturday matches were crazy down to the wire
Nah, NRL sucks.
Dude, the NRL comp this year is INSANE. Ive been a dragons supporter since i could say the word dragon, over 30 years. This years comp is SO close, the NRL is in the most competitive state its been in for decades. That Storm v Warriors game though...
@@Lollashgames Nah, the comp doesn't matter if you live outside Australia. League is just another Aussie sport now, like Aussie Rules.
@@n-tertainmentx-tended4760 Considering that international viewership has been growing 15-30% year on year over the past 5 years, and the NRL is currently looking to secure ownership of the English competition AND a supporting role in a breakthrough competition in the US id say that no, the NRL and Rugby League in general is one of the fastest growing sport in the world on the back of the Australian competition. Nothings set in stone, but if the management of Abdo and V'landys continues to make strides in the way they have done the game is only going to improve and become more popular
@@n-tertainmentx-tended4760 NRL is easily the best rugby comp of either code, and one of the best comps of any sport period
Brad Thorn, Dual international all round winner…BEAST
Check out Roger Tuivasa Shek, he won the Dally M in 2018, hes also another Kiwi, and plays on the Same Team and Shuan Johnson the New Zealand Warriors, he also won a Premiership with the Sydney Roosters before he came to the Warriors. Benji Also has a World Cup win in 2008 to go with his Premiership in 2005.
Sonny Bill Williams is the most successful Rugby League and Union player because he has won championships for club and country for both Union and League.
Actually id say brad thorn is more accomplished
@@lacedgoods9155 Oh ,I forgot that he was the only Origin All Black player. Definitely him because was he there during the super league war? If it was, he would've had multiple flags from ARL, Super League, an Origin series, and rep footy at rugby.
Brad Thorn
Thought I'd explain what was happening when that defender dived and looked like he didn't get close, it's called an ankle tap, a last ditch effort when you've been beat, the idea is to slap the players heel so they trip over their own feet and fall over.
You would also enjoy Carlos Spencer. Union player from Cullens era
7:58 that guys trying to pull off an "ankle tap". He'll swing his arm hoping to hit one of benji's feet, which will cause his legs to cross over each other, which then causes him to trip himself.
So many tries have been saved by players using this last ditch effort.
More tend to switch from League to Union, rather than the other way around, and come back to league.
Main reason is that League is more physically demanding, and I'd argue, pound for pound that league produces a higher standard of athlete (fitness wise) who can adapt (adjust down) to the rigours of union, rather than union players being able to keep up with the pace of league. Back in the day, some came from union to league and did okay, however in the NRL era this is unlikely,
Because union has more of a worldwide presence, the paypacket for a middling league player is much higher as union can pay more (also limited by things like NRL salary cap.) This is prevalent in all pacific islands, NZ, Eng and Australia. I'm sure in other countries where RU dominates with little to no league presence, many people come from RU to League.
This was a huge focus in the 2000s with Aus Rugby union raiding league, players to start the trend include Wendell Sailor, Lote Tuquiri, Mat Rogers, Israel Folau, Karmichael Hunt, Sonny Bill Williams, brad thorn, Sam Burgess, Andy Fowler, and the list continues.
Yeha benji is my favourite player. Tigers have won two spoons in a row but those are the only spoons we’ve won. Tigers are bad because we can’t retain players. You could nearly make an origin team with all the players we couldn’t keep. There’s been buzz around the club tho, lots of new talent and signings, on paper the club should be on the up but people thought that last year and we ended coming last. So far not a great start to the season but the raiders are a bad match up for the tigers. Didn’t look good in that game tho. 😢 might be another spoon 🥄 this season, finish off the legend spoon-peat
Is there a reason for them not being able to retain players specifically? Or just have been unlucky? Spoon-peat haha.
@@EamonnReacts bad upper management, not great results. Tigers aren’t a club that people would want to play for. I’d say like an Orlando magic rather than the Celtics. Can’t be too angry at the players cause all their careers improved as soon as they left so maybe that’s why. When the tigers are playing good they are so fun to watch but the other 95% of the time I want to headbutt the tv. They’re not good enough to pressure teams, or play a field position game of attrition so they should focus on ball movement and attacking benji footy. I think if they did that they’d be more successful.
Tigers still havent got a winning team other then having a star hooker a bunch of rookies and an average forward pack😢
Benji was terrible in union. Gave up aftet a few games and came back to league. Good player, but bad coach. Tigers will win the spoon (last place) this year for sure
Do Andrew Johns next, he was a tactical mastermind!
bengy leaves johnson in the shade.
West tigers stink
