Benji Marshall's stirring haka for his little brother Jeremy after NRL debut win over Warriors

Kiwi league legend Benji Marshall gave his brother an NRL debut to remember, leading a family haka in the stands after the Wests Tigers beat the Warriors.

Jeremy Marshall-King came off the bench for the Tigers, the team where former Kiwi captain Benji made his name with a daring brand of football which inspired a grand final win in 2005.

Wearing jersey 19, Jeremy stood in front of the stands as Benji, in white shirt, led the haka for him.

"I knew I was going to cry and I actually ended up crying up there," Benji Marshall told Fox Sports after the game at Leichhardt Oval.

"As a big brother you watch them grow up and I'm just proud of him.

"I thought what he did tonight coming in at a little bit of notice, coming in to probably the hardest position of hooker, I thought he did a great job."

The 21-year-old utility Jeremy was born in Whakatane and moved to Australia at the age of 10.

The 32-year-old Benji re-joins the Tigers next year, having left after the 2013 season for stints with the Dragons, Broncos and Auckland Blues rugby team.
