A consortium - believed to be led by four men - has launched a bid for a Wellington-based team to enter the NRL in 2018.
The New Zealand Warriors, based in Auckland, are the sole representative of the country in the 16-team competition.
Former New Zealand captain Marshall, who plays for the St George Illawarra Dragons, believes the time is right for a second Kiwi franchise.
"I am all for it," Marshall told Fairfax Media. "There should be another team in New Zealand because the following has gotten so massive.
"If you look at the number of juniors and the amount of talent they have got coming through, it would be great and it is something they have to look at to help the game grow bigger over there.
"It would create a rivalry too because everyone who lives in Auckland loves Auckland and the people who don't hate them so if they put in a Wellington team, the rest of New Zealand will go for them 100 per cent."
