, that he rejected an invitation for his family to join him on the field after his final game on Saturday night.
The knee injury was a sad end to Marshall's second-coming at the Wests Tigers, but his teammates say the sadness set in the moment he found out he wasn't wanted. He has since shown his disappointment with an unwillingness to help the club facilitate a farewell befitting the champion playmaker. "Benji's been my guy ever since. Whenever I play against Benji, I'm star struck. Even with Shaun Johnson, too. Those two guys will always be idols to me. I've seen a photo 'work until your idols become your rivals'. Those two are definitely that for me."The Parramatta Eels are planning on naming Dylan Brown in their side for Saturday night's qualifying final against the Melbourne Storm at Suncorp Stadium.
"He's going well but we won't put him at risk. If he's right to go we'll play him, but if not we won't hesitate to wait until the next game we play.
