Daly Cherry-Evans has revealed how a text message from Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall left him emotional in the lead-up to his 350th NRL game.

Tigers legend Marshall was forced to leave his beloved club in 2013 when he failed to agree on a new contract.

Cherry-Evans will play his 352nd and final game for the Sea Eagles on Friday night at 4 Pines Park before he is expected to link with rivals the Sydney Roosters for one season after a bitter split with Manly.

There was an outpouring of love for the skipper when he played his 350th game at Brookvale against the Dolphins, and after looking through all the congratulatory messages, Cherry-Evans said the one from Marshall really struck a chord.
