Benji Marshall Quotations

I was playing like a rugby league player with 14 rugby players.

This morning I was standing in the shower and thought how I was sick of losing and how it was about time I had a big game.

It felt good out there. There were no nerves. It was just great to be back on the field far quicker than expected following the injury.

A lot of people think it was a fluke that we won the comp last year. But it doesn't bother me one bit. We've got a point to prove, but not to other people. We've got a point to prove to ourselves, that we can back it up with another big effort this year, when it will be even harder.

I just want to concentrate on my rehab and work hard in the gymnasium to strengthen the shoulder so I can get back as quickly as I can.

I feel I can play 80 minutes. I might lack a bit of match fitness, but a Test is a different arena and the adrenaline can get you through.
