The Real Benji Marshall Story | MAYDAY™ | Ep.10

"Benji Marshall opens up on never before told stories - the 2024 Hall of Fame inductee who went from a skinny kid in Whakatane to Tigers premiership superstar overnight. From that iconic 2005 Grand Final flick pass that inspired a generation, to conquering the world stage with the Kiwis, to his controversial switch to rugby union. Benji reveals why he chose Wayne Bennett for his final season, and the emotional reality of walking back into Tigers headquarters - not as a player, but as the head coach tasked with rebuilding his beloved club." 🔐 Join the MAYDAY™ Club [https://linktr.ee/maydaytv] 🤝 Proudly Supported By: https://www.instagram.com/nathanslawnsandgardens/ 📩 Sponsorship & Collab Enquiries ⁠maydaypodcast00@gmail.com⁠ Directed by: https://www.innerdream.co ⏱️CHAPTERS: 00:00 - WELCOME TO MAYDAY 01:01 - GRATITUDE FOR RELATIONSHIP 05:15 - WHAKATANE 07:11 - PRIORITISING BEING A DAD 08:39 - CHOICE BETWEEN UNION AND LEAGUE 10:19 - JOINING TIGERS AS A TEENAGER 15:10 - SKINNY KID EARLY DAYS 17:45 - 2005 GRAND FINAL 25:48 - SURGEON SAID TO RETIRE 28:27 - HOW TO BE A LEADER 31:54 - 2008 WORLD CUP KIWIS 35:36 - SWITCHING TO RUGBY UNION 38:49 - RETIRING WITH RABBITOHS 43:09 - EXPRESSING YOURSELF 46:00 - FINALS RUN 21' BEAT PENRITH, LOSE GF 47:58 - GALVIN RESHUFFLE 49:47 - HARDEST PRE SEASON INBOUND 53:36 - FIRST CHANGE COMING BACK COACH 56:54 - FUTURE OF TIGERS SQUAD 01:06:05 - WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT BENJI 01:08:37 - MAYDAY WRAP UP
