The biggest week of the year is only just starting - but Benji Marshall has already set a grand final record.Benji's remarkable feat of playing two deciders 16 years apart is unparalleled in the 113-year history of rugby league, according to stats guru David Middleton.A cheeky youngster when he threw THAT famous flick pass to win the Wests Tigers the unwinnable premiership in 2005, Benji is now 36 and the wise old man in the Rabbitohs' quest for glory.One of Benji's former team-mates - dual international Lote Tuqiri - comes closest to matching his feat, with 14 years between his two grand finals - for the Broncos in 2000 and Rabbitohs in 2014.Ageless former Storm skipper Cam Smith also played grand finals 14 years apart (2006 and 2020) - but played quite a few others in between.
