Imagine Weidler sniffing around the club trying to get information...you'd just tell him to piss off wouldn't you! It's like an annoying fly or mosquito that just won't buzz off, only with a bigger head.

Maybe, as are all journo's cos thats there job but Weilder doesnt seem to say anything unless its fact. He may suggest somethings going on but wont mention names unless he has a basis to do so. If he says an agreement is about to be tabled and my money says it is. I would think it will be the same as what has been discussed and the circus will be over or just begin lol depends on how Benji plays

Atleast he only talks when its confirmed, he wouldnt tweet that if it was a rumour

A few things... i personally think if we sign benji it will be a plus... he may not be what he used to be... but he is experienced... if opposition focuses to much on widdop... marshall will carve them up... if they focus to much on benji... widdop will carve them up... benji CAN play... and i think he will be back with alot to prove after his last few seasons.
my main concern in all this... is the club knows we need big forwards... i was hoping that something was being done behind the scenes... but hearing we might need to release a player to get benji shows we cant afford to sign no forwards... that is the main thing thats bothering me right now.
that explains alot about the situation the club is in.
oh, and one last thing... hahaha at those blaming the club for not making a play for hoffman from the storm, 1.6 million over 3 years for a 31 year old??? Really??? Its just laughable to even think about critising the club for not making a play for him.
we need forwards, but FRONT ROW FORWARDS not backrowers who can be pushed into the forwards, we got enough of them already.
personally cant wait for this season to end so we can f@ck off the dead wood (harrison groat etc) and hopefully go after forwards that can play!!!
And one last thing... the speculation about thompson being released is bullsh!t... take it as fact he isnt going anywhere anytime soon. The club has high hopes for him, that i can assure u is fact.
Now lets hope our boys smash those f#cking bulldogs....

Mark Geyer: What I?d like to know is, how did Benji Marshall leaving rugby union turn into him holding a rugby league team to ransom? How did Benji being as humble as pie with his tail between his legs turn into issuing an ultimatum to an NRL club ? in this case the Dragons?

How is it Benji holding anyone to ransom.

Benji didn't demand that the Dragons offer him a contract. I think you'll find that was the Dragons decision (and a late decision at that)

The big plus if Saints do get Benji is IF Widdop gets injured they have awsome backup in Benji as 5/8. Williams, Witt and Stanley can go in the halves.
