Pick Benji plea

Benji Marshall has earned the chance to return from a six-year test exile and guide a Kiwis league revival. That’s the view of Wests Tigers teammate Josh Reynolds, the man veteran Marshall has usurped in the pecking order for the club’s starting fiveeighth spot. “He’s playing good footy. I’m not sure who he’s up against for that position. On form, it’d be silly not to. Just being around him, he’s just got a lot of footy knowledge. I think that can help New Zealand. If you looks at the Warriors’ form, they’re at the best they’ve been in five years. And they make up a lot of the New Zealand team. If you throw in someone like him, I think they’d be a great side.”
