That twitter account was definitely legit.

Had a fairly extensive post history and even Damian Irvine was tweeting about how much a moron the guy was.

A push to win a Premiership in 2016? As long as Price is there that aint happening.

He will be just trying to avoid spoons the clown. If they are that desperate then they should have sacked him last year instead of waste another season, hopefully it is only half a season.

If your waiting on Doust for another title, ... good luck.
Anyone that says he already has achieved one, is delusional.
Since the JV, we have had the chance to win at least 2-3 titles.

Signing Marshall is not the issue.
Personally, I couldn't care one way or the other.
This Club should be the real "pride" of the league.

Selling our home ground advantage for a quick quid, is testament to Dousts achievements.
Simply, he is a fake.

Are you pissed again?

Well I just read in The Australian that Doust was to speak to the board today as he needs more disscussions, and the guy that's managing benjis talks with the Dragons said that he needs the offer in paper and not in promises and talk, so that pretty much says the deal is done!!!LOL and it will prolly be announced on Friday or if he wears the team tie on the footy show this week..

Clubs wait for Marshall's nod

By Paul Haigh

May 6, 2014, 6:30 a.m.

Will he or won’t he: St George Dragons and Cronulla Sharks are keen to sign Benji Marshall (left). Picture: John Veage

ST GEORGE Illawarra and Cronulla are playing a waiting game to see if league comeback man Benji Marshall will sign with either of them.
Both neighbouring NRL clubs, fierce rivals and competitors since 1967, have made very good offers to the former Wests Tigers five-eighth.
A decision from Marshall’s management was expected over the weekend and even by last night.
The Dragons have tabled a contract believed to be worth $1.1 million for the rest of this season, 2015 and 2016.
The Sharks’ deal is estimated to be $1 million for the remainder of 2014 and the whole of 2015 and 2016.
Marshall sensationally quit his brief New Zealand stint, initially for two years with Super 15 club, Auckland Blues, a fortnight ago.
He has sold his house there and met Dragons coach Steve Price last week.
Both the Dragons and the Sharks are keen for the 201 NRL-game veteran to play halfback to provide experience and a steadying influence.
Sharks chief executive Steve Noyce is keen to entice Marshall to the club.
The fact that he has many former Tigers teammates at the Sharks (namely Blake Ayshford, Bryce Gibbs, Beau Ryan, Isaac De Gois and John Morris) could sway the Kiwi international to sign.
Noyce was also chief executive at the Tigers for a fair slab of Marshall’s time there.
Marshall joined the Tigers in 2003 and is now 29. He starred in the club’s 2005 grand final win over North Queensland.
Marshall’s brilliant display announced that the youngster had arrived in NRL.

P.S Is he trying to get Cronulla to up their offer????

This is a farce.
Someone will end up paying overs to secure his services.

That article certainly is slanted toward the Sharks as fav's.

Go count to 10.....thousand !
The article is from the Leader....up there with all the red hot Twitter accounts.

The intricacies of this would be huge. You can't possibly expect all bases to be covered by both parties in 3-4 days once a deal has been agreed upon? Whilst Doust is trying to sign him, Finchy would be trying to get rid of blokes. Weighing up next year and the year after's cap, how does that effect new recruits, 3rd party deals have to be found and registered with the NRL, etc, etc.
Be patient my friend....

Thanks JB... ;-)

I have said i really dont mind whether or not he signs.
You are right, the details / intricacies / negotiations would be cumbersome.
