    Wests Tigers and Kiwis veteran Benji Marshall has left the door open to play on for another season and possibly become the oldest active player in the NRL

    Wests Tigers and Kiwis veteran Benji Marshall has left the door open to play on for another season and possibly become the oldest active player in the NRL

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    Off-contract in November, Marshall insists the coronavirus-forced shutdown won't impact whether or not he laces up the boots for a remarkable 19th campaign.

    Melbourne's Cameron Smith, who turns 37 next month, is the oldest player in the NRL -- he is yet to commit to another season.

    Marshall says he will weigh everything up.
