Some of Benji Marshall's flick passes have been sublime.
The one he gave Pat Richards in the 2005 (twas a great year

) NRL Grand Final was different gravy.

Really? We've not had anyone as good as that in our team in the last 10 years since Smith. And if we did have him we'd all be crowing like mad

The love in i dont get is Sam Tomkins

Jonny whitely had a great pair of hands and used to do the reverse,round the back pass

It was a very good piece of skill imo. Fair play to him.

ive no love of chase,but flair like he has seems to be a lost art nowadays.uk rugby league used to have plenty of players with similar skills.crane,newlove,lockwood,pinner,norton to name just a few..real flair and skill seems to be coached out of them now and consequently the game is poorer for it.

It's had 2.6m views on the Sport Bible Facebook page. The best marketing for our sport for a while that. The one he did against Catalans a couple of years ago was pretty good too.

Reg Bowden of Widnes /Fulham in his prime was as good as Chase. His reverse pass was the longest that I can recall seeing

It was an exceptional piece of skill, and we should applaud that in our game. Let's not forget we are in the entertainment industry and that was definitely entertaining.

He did something similar at craven park last year which was more of a reverse inside ball and they broke clear from it and scored, was excellent play and the full east stand applauded the skill level shown.

We should encourage more of this, people like him, watkins, jamie lyon etc is what we want to see and something the aussies do consistently.

I think the biggest problem is that chase is sometimes a little grub and people are struggling to comprehend something positive he did due to his lets say chequered history. As somebody mentioned, the exposure it has brought to the game is an added bonus

Agree, the flair players in all sport grab the headlines and promote the sport.

This thread would be sticky if he had signed for us, probably alongside a sticky thread titled "Chase him out, hes cack"

Don't think it had. Watched it back on a well known website and play goes on after the save for a good few seconds to the end of the clip.

It had definitely been blown, remember watching it live and saying it.

Whatever your opinion about the guy - and he's done some things not to be proud of - that was a top notch display on Sunday. If that had been a union player, the TV and newspapers would still be wetting themselves now.
