Wests Tigers superstar Benji Marshall ended months of specualtion today by re-signing with his NRL club.
Courted by Japanese rugby, Marshall is understood to have become sick of the speculation and has agreed to terms with the Tigers until the end of 2011.
The Tigers are expected to announce the significant re-signing at a press conference later today.
The Marshall move follows the Tigers' successful re-signing of marquee hooker Robbie Farrah.
Marshall was the subject of frenzied speculation after he revealed he wanted to play an NRL off-season in Japan rugby. The latest development ends that prospect, but Marshall is "delighted" to have secured his future with the club he took to a grand final victory in 2005.
The Tigers play Canberra in their season opener at Campbelltown on Monday night.

About f**king time Benji.

At least they don't have to tear down that huge Billboard on Parramatta road yet, advertising Wests' junior leagues: "I'm coming for you Benji (in 2016)."

Good to see, shame it gave Union some free press in the interim but he made a good decision in the end.

Actually, the funny was the hysteria that was created when the NRL said no, particularly on this forum.......

In related News, the Tigers Physio has just re-signed until 2011 as well. He is now VERY confident that he will have a LOT of work to keep him busy until 2011.

Wait. What?
