I cannot think of a single team that would benefit from his presence...

I'll take a shot and say he'll sign with the Titans, fail and head over to Europe.

Id take him at Penrith, better than wallace. I wont be surprised at all if he ends up with us, Gus loves the merkin.

People forget how piss poor tigers forward pack was last year, behind a good pack he would be a decent pick up.

benji would of kill it if he had a real halfback next to him. He was never the same after Prince left him

Very interesting. Zoe won't want to leave auckland but there won't be a spot for him at the warriors.
Maybe he could do the ultimate code swap and play for the breakers!

In all seriousness, he should take the money Salford is offering.

Do we know what clubs have room under the salary cap?

I know Manly are having trouble fitting everyone in, but what other clubs can be ruled out due to the cap?

It'd make it easier to draw-up a shortlist of teams he *could* go to, then look at other factors.

Even though Brisbane have the worst 5/8 in the comp, Benji would still probably be a step down.

If his ego won't let him go to England, retirement and a cushy media job seems like the only option.

Kudos for giving it a crack. More kudos for being smart enough to realise if hes to salvage anything of a career, a quick get out is a must.

Still wouldnt want him at my club though.

Dragons? Lulwot? They got Widdop who needs to be the main man now. Benji's ego won't allow that.

Which was about 8 years ago. Benji is past it and I can't see any team paying what he thinks he's worth.

Who would want him?

Possibly sharks, dragons, raiders, titans, cowboys?

There is no way the raiders would want him
We're putting all our eggs in the Milford basket right now, and any changes in the halves would be Cornish replacing Campese

Not that it matters given im certain Marshall would never agree to play in canberra anyways

I actually think Penrith would be amongst the very few who would benefit.

Penrith aren't gonna win a premiership with both Soward & Wallace as their halves. They are too similar.

Then again, Marshall isn't gonna win shit, but it can't hurt to try.

Why would the Titans want him? They have two excellent halves already. The Dragons are one of the few teams who might actually be improved by acquiring Marshall. I'd want it to be on a 1 year incentive-based deal though.

This is sad. What happened to the old Benji? Where's the Benji that overcame multiple major injuries to become the golden boot of 2010? That Benji was not one to shy away from a challenge.

Guess being on the Footy Show every week and having Gus/Rabs rabbiting on about you being the best in the world inflates your ego too much, and he no longer thinks he has to roll his sleeves up and put in the effort anymore
