Wests Tigers superstar Benji Marshall was yesterday crowned the 2010 Magpie Award winner at a luncheon at Wests Ashfield Leagues Club.

Marshall was the obvious winner after such a stellar year in 2010 that included the Golden Boot Award and a Four Nations title as captain.

Due to playing commitments tonight, Marshall was unable to attend the luncheon but in a pre-arranged presentation, revealed what an honour it was for his name to be added to the trophy.
