It might only be first versus eighth on the ladder, but Friday night’s blockbuster between Canterbury and the Wests Tigers has the potential to decide the question of who is the most exciting player in the game.

Tonight on a jam-packed NRL Daily, hosts John Gibbs and Brad Fittler take a look at the salivating head-to-head match-up between Benji Marshall and Ben Barba. 

“I think an ambush is coming and Benji Marshall will be the mastermind behind the whole thing,” says Fittler. “He’s been in great form and looking super slick.”

Can current Dally M favourite and leading NRL try-scorer Barba stand up against one of his own heroes in Marshall and keep the Tigers fighting to secure a finals spot? Vote on the Versus match-up now

Also on today’s show we take phone calls from Bronco Luke Capewell and Shark John Morris, preview the big matches in the round ahead and sit down with Dragons playmaker Jamie Soward as he returns to the starting line up against the Cowboys.
