Benji Marshall seeks return to NRL
Well, he certainly will be if Bellamy continues to waste him in the reggies.The Mauritian wrote:
Forget Cody, he is on his way to Souths next year. Lets not develop him for them. We won't get benji but I think he would be good for us for the rest of the year. If he was smart he would come here. But I think he will go and play for bottom of the table sharks.
In what possible way would Marshall benefit us this year? He wouldn't improve our attack, if anything all his sideways running would make it worse. And his defence is poor at best and we're struggling there at the moment.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately
If we sign Benji, it'll be a 2-3 year deal and doing that would basically tell our young halves we don't trust them and they'll look to move on. Both Walker and Hampton are off contract this year, Mann off contract in 2015. Wouldn't expect them to want to hang around if the club throws money at Benji.
But apart from the Bulldogs, we seem to be throwing everything we have in every game. We were winning by small margins now we are loosing by small margins. Every team knows what is coming, it is always the same. I have never played a game of league in my life and I know what is coming.
Comes down to playing more ad lib footy. What do you think is more likely ? Us signing Benji and allowing him to play his natural game ? Or sign Benji and try to fit him into our structure ? Bellamy is stubborn.
Yes, I can.routy21 wrote:We scored 10 points at home to the team with the worst defence in the comp. You can't tell me that a "fit" Benji Marshall couldn't help us???
Go back and watch his last 2 years with the tigers. All he did was run sideways, and his try assists were way down on his glory years.
I don't think he would have done any better in attack than Hampton did last night, and his defence would have been worse.

I would love to see Benji in a navy, purple and white jersey, however I don't want him at the expense of Ben Hampton who is off contract and could be lost to the Storm if we sign Benji. He was our best player against the Warriors in what was a really poor team performance.

Done deal......wonder how he'll go - could be a scary combo
