Benjis ball skills is better than any NRL player I have ever watched, his creativity and long balls, basically reinvented the no look inside pass and no look behind the back pass. The step Marshall possessed in his prime supersedes any step iv ever seen from Johnson. Johnsons blinding speed is the only thing he will have over Marshall period.
It doesn't matter who's better. Both are amazing, only difference is Benji has more experience at the moment. Johnson will have his years to come and will be even bigger and better when Benji retires. Johnsons only younger which is the difference between the two
the difference between them i reckon is that when benji was in his prime he was the only person capable of doing what he could do on a league field, it was the first time everyone had seen those type of skills. Whereas now there is at least one of those types of players in pretty much every team, and johnson is good enough to rip teams to shreds even when he's expected to come up with the flashy plays and be manmarked by the opposition. So in my opinion, Johnson wins this one. Not taking anything away from benji cause he is a total legend and much invented flick passes haha
BENJI in his prime.. dayyyuuummm!! Can carry an average team to a premiership, that takes leadership. Both very talented players though, very diverse skills.
I’m a Welshman Rugby Union first and seen them all, Johnson at his best is honestly one of the best rugby players I’ve ever seen! I wish he played Union he’d have been even more appreciated!
Benji 2 win the grandfinal in 2018!!! and finally! FINALLY!!! we will see the greatness of Benji Marshall the GREAT KIWI MAORI!! And the PRINCE Sean Johnson carve for NZ!!!!#BENJI4PM4LFE
I miss Benji at the Tigers..... he played some awesome footy there... loved his connection with Farrah, fitzhenry, tuiaki, Lawrence, moltzen, tequiri etc but I'm glad he's back in league and not in rugby.... Benji over Johnson all day!!!!
+Kyle Turner I have indeed.... he aint the same... did you only start watching rugby league when shaun johnson made his nrl debut??? Cos Benji in his prime would kill shaun Johnson... 05 grand final winners, 08 world champions, four nations Champs n shit ... coaches would have a nightmare trying to defend against Benji he changed the style of play up.. shaun Johnson is benefiting from his labor... wait are you the rabbitohs Centre?? lol
Benji back at the place that made him a star, honestly woulda love to see him back at his best, johnson has always been exciting since he entered the comp
Aw yea thats true! Benji only had abt 85% to do with it. Lol. If it were'nt for Benji, Kiwis & Tigers would have not won a the World Cup & Nrl Premiereship😊
SamThePvper lmao you think Shaun is better than benji in his prime? Benji in his prime led the Tigers to a premiership Shaun has had stacked teams a can't lead them to a premiership benji is way better
johnson has the speed and the step but marshal has great ball movement and it is pretty close on instinc. But this is all I got to say wheres johnsons nrl premiership win
Really the question should be who was the better 7 or 6 which is the position they both play. And its benji by a long way. his whole skill set he has he came in the league with. johnson had to learn it over time through experience. Benji revolutionised the way a playmaker plays in the modern era..
There's just not enough clips of Benji to make the call who is the best ever. Benji in his day would have created the same exciting fervour that Shaun does today and those lucky enough to follow Benjis games will always remember as the best the same way I will of Shaun. What I have seen of Benji makes him tops with me also. I am happy for both of them that they equally have their fans because their both deserving of them. Therefore the only way to decide an all time best would have to be the stats, tries scored, intercepts taken, metres run to make each try, taking down of opp wingers, assists made etc....the sheer number of compilations of Shaun shows he is special.
Both kiwis..both played "step on a crack marry a rat".. they're only as good as the brothers running there angles.. brings tears to have to choose.. Benji living legend, but I also read his book...phukn magic. Sry sj
Benji is good I remember him when I was playing league and now they wanna compare him with Johnson two totally different players all together benjis passing the no look behind back dam but for foot work hands Johnson easy so mine is both are good in their own ways
Benji by far.....he got the ball skills, speed and side steps. Not long and he will have nothing cos no one gonna sign him up next year. Johnson still the man....but if benji was his age he would carve up.
Benji Marshall is the man.. Best goose/side step, best flick/no look pass, only one of four kiwis to win a golden boot award Shaun Johnson is man.. Best line break/ball runner, most exiting/explosive player in the league And possibly in history (given another 4 years) also one of four kiwi players to win a golden boot award Life's to hard to pick the best player between the two... Just got to go WARRIORS /NSW
If I were a coach I would want the current benji in my team over Johnson. Johnson looks good and is more impressive with the ball but Benji knows how to win big games, he turns up when needed and has the experience and calmness that Johnson doesn't have. He is also a far better leader than Johnson. Of course if you want to look at footwork and speed Johnson is better, but overall even the current Benji has more to offer.
These 2 guys are world's apart...one's gone away from the club he started at and has come back a smarter footballer the other doesn't like to get tackled and relied on his step and talent,he tends to go missing when things aren't firing and hasn't evolved.. his 2 former halves partners left the warriors and won the premiership the very next year ... Benji all day
I would choose Benji but only because of his ability to play under pressure, both these guys have athleticism at its best but Shaun has a slight quickness over Benji.
Johnson good but when Benji started at the Tigers he took the game to another level, no look passes, the steps, and little chip kicking, all the kids wanted to do the no look pass like Benji when he 1st done it,
Benji Marshall will always be remembered as one of the best players in rugby league.
Benji for sure, Johnson is good but Marshall will always be remembered for the big games he turned up in
Johnsons still young, plenty of games to go for him.
+cyasoonbro Johnson has already stepped up in big games for the warriors and New Zealand.
his performance is very poor this year
Deffinitly Johnson
@@CannonballZ 4 years later and still the same
Benjis ball skills is better than any NRL player I have ever watched, his creativity and long balls, basically reinvented the no look inside pass and no look behind the back pass. The step Marshall possessed in his prime supersedes any step iv ever seen from Johnson. Johnsons blinding speed is the only thing he will have over Marshall period.
BOTH AMAZING NEW ZEALAND HAVE THE BEST STEPPERS THEY CREATED IT
Paul Taputu-Crombie jahk shaun is way better bruh you aint seen shieeeet yet boy
Watch Johnson's touch games.
Lmao his step is so slow and sluggish compared to shaun johnson.
It doesn't matter who's better. Both are amazing, only difference is Benji has more experience at the moment. Johnson will have his years to come and will be even bigger and better when Benji retires. Johnsons only younger which is the difference between the two
Nothing in it! I am very privileged to have watched them both play many times pure wizardry!! From a Warriors supporter!
They are both amazing. Each have pros and cons both awesome individuals lucky to have them in our Kiwi lineup. Can’t pick one ? Head or tails .......
Benji Marshall 2005-2009 was the greatest player ever.
Everyone has an opinion, but you've got to appreciate both, both equally gifted, they do things most players wouldn't think of doing
Benji a legend and still quality. Benji 💯
Benji was the first to bring this style of individual skill to the game, he's a pioneer in the game
Another great video man! Love your channel
the difference between them i reckon is that when benji was in his prime he was the only person capable of doing what he could do on a league field, it was the first time everyone had seen those type of skills.

Great video! both have such amazing footwork!
Two great players with great skills....10 out of 10 for both...a treat to watch them both 😜
Shouldn't have to decide the should both make the kiwis
BENJI in his prime.. dayyyuuummm!! Can carry an average team to a premiership, that takes leadership. Both very talented players though, very diverse skills.
From a die hard Kangaroos supporter, I gotta say Benji for his overall skills, footy brain and a big game plays. One my all time favourite players!
just imagine these two in their prime together! hell yeah
whole career-benji
at the moment- johnson
Both are amazing players, I cant decide who is better so I’ll go with “Benji Johnson”
Same here
I’m a Welshman Rugby Union first and seen them all, Johnson at his best is honestly one of the best rugby players I’ve ever seen! I wish he played Union he’d have been even more appreciated!
They're both awesome 👍
Benji 2 win the grandfinal in 2018!!! and finally! FINALLY!!! we will see the greatness of Benji Marshall the GREAT KIWI MAORI!! And the PRINCE Sean Johnson carve for NZ!!!!#BENJI4PM4LFE
Johnsons finish at 2:30 was jaw dropping...
Benji will always be remembered where as Johnson, no matter how good he will be will never be better than marshell
No Shaun Johnson is the best player of all time
Not true
+CannonballZ yeh marshell is best
CannonballZ Johnson is the best player at them moment
David Bryan Marsh is the best.
I miss Benji at the Tigers..... he played some awesome footy there... loved his connection with Farrah, fitzhenry, tuiaki, Lawrence, moltzen, tequiri etc but I'm glad he's back in league and not in rugby.... Benji over Johnson all day!!!!
+muliparu lol benji over johnson? pass the weed bro!
+Kyle Turner lol all day sunshine.... and nah bro you didn't put in on this maaaannnnn!!! go smoke some pole hahaha
muliparu have you even seen benji play at the dragons?
+Kyle Turner I have indeed.... he aint the same... did you only start watching rugby league when shaun johnson made his nrl debut??? Cos Benji in his prime would kill shaun Johnson... 05 grand final winners, 08 world champions, four nations Champs n shit ... coaches would have a nightmare trying to defend against Benji he changed the style of play up.. shaun Johnson is benefiting from his labor... wait are you the rabbitohs Centre?? lol
muliparu that was his prime, today johnson would destroy benji at anything. Wait are you benji's manager?
Benji in prime was the best ever.
I think both in their prime Johnson wins.... skills equal vision equal kicking and playmaking equal. speed Johnson wins therefore Johnson wins...
Thank you
+Chevy Rangitakatu Benji's defence is better though
Lmfao stop . Benji shredded everyone in his prime . Johnson’s prime consists of showing up once every four games
Look benji has the best offloads and Johnson has the best footwork I'm a warriors fan and I believe their both equally good
Benji back at the place that made him a star, honestly woulda love to see him back at his best, johnson has always been exciting since he entered the comp
I think Johnson is just an upgraded version of Benji...they both Good but I'll go for Johnson
Both are amazing
shaun johnson is the bomb i wanna step like him one day
marshell is a legend but i have to go with johnson. it is that lightening pace which gives him the edge.
Both freaks! If I had to choose..i'd go Benji reason being, he's won an NRL premiership & a World Cup.🏆🏆
but it wasnt beji that won the premiership and world cup it was the players
Aw yea thats true! Benji only had abt 85% to do with it. Lol. If it were'nt for Benji, Kiwis & Tigers would have not won a the World Cup & Nrl Premiereship😊
Johnson 110% he is one of if not the best player in the comp I think he is better then Thurston tbh
both at there best SJ but JT is more consitent imo
SamThePvper lmao you think Shaun is better than benji in his prime? Benji in his prime led the Tigers to a premiership Shaun has had stacked teams a can't lead them to a premiership benji is way better
Shaun Johnson
Benji any day. Johnson as a 5/8 and Benji as a 7
I'll go with Shaun Marshall for sure. Tough pick but that's my finall answer.
Different players. Johnson steps amazing and Benji ball play is remarkable
Shaun Johnson, all the skill and speed, but Benji's got magic, literally, magic is the only way to explain some of the shit benji does.
Shaun Johnson wins people he is like the stepping god
Both
johnson has the speed and the step but marshal has great ball movement and it is pretty close on instinc. But this is all I got to say wheres johnsons nrl premiership win
2 of if not the best enterprising Kiwi's players of the last 10 years. Say no more.
benji in his prime any day of the week
both are great
thnx you made me come first in RUBY LEAGUE THNX
Really the question should be who was the better 7 or 6 which is the position they both play. And its benji by a long way. his whole skill set he has he came in the league with. johnson had to learn it over time through experience. Benji revolutionised the way a playmaker plays in the modern era..

great video
I like both of them
Both kiwis..both played "step on a crack marry a rat".. they're only as good as the brothers running there angles.. brings tears to have to choose.. Benji living legend, but I also read his book...phukn magic. Sry sj
Benji is good I remember him when I was playing league and now they wanna compare him with Johnson two totally different players all together benjis passing the no look behind back dam but for foot work hands Johnson easy so mine is both are good in their own ways
both great players
faarrrrr those skills are redefined
Johnson all the way
both are kiwi boys cant get any better then that
Sean Johnson all da way
Watch in 720p!
That's cool go benju
fg
johnson no questions hands down!
bro trash
Johnson it doesn't matter if he hasn't achieved anything yet he is only a young player and he will be remember by most of us kiwis
It's hard to decide anyway I'm going Johnson over Marshall just because of these days
I am a big fan of Johnson but have to go Marshall by far
Benji changed footy and inspired the great talent coming out
Johnson has flashes of brilliance but is average most of the time but Benji was consistently amazing. Benji will be remembered much more than Johnson
True.
Both good in their own ways
Johnson anyday of the week wow
Benji by far.....he got the ball skills, speed and side steps. Not long and he will have nothing cos no one gonna sign him up next year. Johnson still the man....but if benji was his age he would carve up.
Benji Marshall is my pick
Without Benji Marshall, Shaun Johnson would not play in the NRL
shaun johnson is the best halfback new zealand has ever seen and will be one of the greatest if not the greatest in nz rugby league history
stacey jones is the best hal back nz has ever had and benji would be the best 5/8 we have ever had
Brayden Lomax Shaun Johnson is the best half back in history
dont around yeah lol
lol gamerguys21 stacey jones is better then him and cooper cronk would smash him
⚽😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Benji Marshall is the man.. Best goose/side step, best flick/no look pass, only one of four kiwis to win a golden boot award
Shaun Johnson is man.. Best line break/ball runner, most exiting/explosive player in the league
And possibly in history (given another 4 years)
also one of four kiwi players to win a golden boot award
Life's to hard to pick the best player between the two... Just got to go WARRIORS /NSW
+Tyson Perana id just love for them to join each other in the halves
I like your opinion but Shaun Johnson in my though hes way better than Benji.
Shaun Johnson for days represent nz
How do you get this nrl gameplay
Benji Marshall all day
Shaun Johnson hands down just look at his touch days enough said
very hard i cant decide but back in the days marshall was the king
1:57 That step was pin point accurate
If I were a coach I would want the current benji in my team over Johnson. Johnson looks good and is more impressive with the ball but Benji knows how to win big games, he turns up when needed and has the experience and calmness that Johnson doesn't have. He is also a far better leader than Johnson.
Of course if you want to look at footwork and speed Johnson is better, but overall even the current Benji has more to offer.
johnson
+12SharpShooter He dominated in the 4 nations.. doesn't get much bigger than that.
+DimebagDave120804 he went missing in the 2011 gf
Johnson bcose he had more speed , but Benji was amazing
Do a tui lolohea montage
Legend v Superstar
Bro benji all the way but the only stuff up about him y go to dragons stay with the Tigers mate
Benji has gotten older and matured a lot. But he was great when he was in his prime.
These 2 guys are world's apart...one's gone away from the club he started at and has come back a smarter footballer the other doesn't like to get tackled and relied on his step and talent,he tends to go missing when things aren't firing and hasn't evolved.. his 2 former halves partners left the warriors and won the premiership the very next year ... Benji all day
Benji all the way
I would choose Benji but only because of his ability to play under pressure, both these guys have athleticism at its best but Shaun has a slight quickness over Benji.
Some would argue the little general stacey jones his the best kiwi ever!
johnson. hes ripping it up like benjy but in a tight defensive era. so yes johnson. go boi
Shaun johnson all the way man hes way better like wtf hes way better his ankles are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
can anyone please explain the diffrence between super rugby and NRL?...
Shaun Johnson can step better and is faster, but Benji is the better overall player LIKE IF YOU AGREE
there both the best in the world at football
Johnson good but when Benji started at the Tigers he took the game to another level, no look passes, the steps, and little chip kicking, all the kids wanted to do the no look pass like Benji when he 1st done it,
Both Kiwi Both sick
Both good players i rate them =
Shaun Johnson is the best player out who even needs to comment.
Benji Marshall. Best Nz player ever.
shaun marshall, i can not choose one they both are the shit
who does everyone think is better?
Johnson
Shauny
