Cheap Vikings Jerseys China .At his best, Marshall was one of the most skilful and naturally gifted athletes to grace an NRL field and a player who has achieved almost everything rugby league has to offer.He has tasted premiership glory with Wests Tigers in 2005 and captained his beloved New Zealand to victory in the 2008 World Cup and 2010 Four Nations.But those days are long gone - or are they? Well, Wayne Bennett clearly doesnt think so.?It would appear that Bennett has more to lose out of this than Marshall but that hasnt stopped the seven-time premiership coach risking his reputation.Bennett knows Benji more than most after the pair formed a strong relationship during their time together with the Kiwis and the NRL All Stars team and the coachs faith might just be the secret to re-igniting the Marshall magic.(Bennett) is someone that Benji looks up to, Marshalls manager Mario Tartak revealed.He placed a lot of calls to him during the year. They had a heart-to-heart. They talk a lot, just for advice. And he just said he wasnt ready to retire.Marshall, who turns 32 early next year, will embark on his 15th, and most likely his last, NRL season at the Broncos.One of Marshalls greatest attributes throughout his career has been his ability to back himself but this time it has hit him hard in the hip pocket.Despite a difficult season, he openly rejected a $300,000 a year deal to remain at St George-Illawarra.at the end of the NRL season, when there were no offers on the table and no phone calls from rival clubs to his manager, Marshall stood by his decision.Im a big believer in self-worth, in knowing what youre worth. And I believe Im worth more than that offer, Marshall said in August.Ive played 14 seasons and know that, if injury free, Ill offer a lot more. On the field and off it.So yes, $300,000 was thrown onto the table which I declined.Whether he is right or wrong in his estimation of his value on the open market, his self-confidence is an admirable quality, if not a costly one on this occasion.Reports suggest Marshalls deal at the Broncos is $100,000 less than what the Dragons put on the table but it might not just be in the wallet where he loses out.The Broncos boast a galaxy of Origin-quality stars, some in Marshalls favoured positions; - so it is also likely he will lose a coveted starting spot.Ben Hunt and Anthony Milford have struck up a strong combination in Brisbanes halves, Darius Boyd is among the top five fullbacks in the NRL while the younger legs of Kodi Nikorima would surely provide more impact in the utility role off the bench.So where does Marshall fit in?That remains to be seen but one thing is certain - Bennett will have a plan in mind and if it leads to a Broncos premiership then he will be justified in his decision to Holler for a Marshall.

He finished third in the voting. The last receiver to do better than that was Pitts Larry Fitzgerald, who finished second to Oklahomas Jason White in 2003.The APs Heisman panel is still locked in on Lamar Jackson at the top of the charts, but more players are getting attention down-ballot:Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville (21 points)Numbers to know: Jackson is sixth in the nation in rushing (133.4 yards per game), leads in touchdowns with 19 and is averaging 7.25 yards per carry.
