OT - Benji Marshall

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

Not working out for Marshall, already rumor of UK Super League lets make a play for him, we need backs, play him in halves or even try fullback he is a name.

 

[ghoti]

Big risk for a team like us. He needs smart players around him who can read him...can you imagine the frustration of both he and Carney making space and turning to pass at flat footed ball runners who are 5 steps behind the play?

But hell, I'd rather that then Holdsworth running confused on the spot wondering what the f**k he has to do to create a gap.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Benji at fullback is a great idea

 

[madunit]

Fullback would suit him better. Its where he should've always been.

 

[Since 73]

Not strong enough for fullback.
Wouldnt attack bombs and would get steamrolled confronting runaways.

If Barba can it Benji can too.

 

[snoozer]

yeh, no.

would he come near us with our ex-tigs anyway?

 

[Snoop Shark]

Val Holmes for me

 

[madunit]

His mates are at Sharks, Beau, Hino & Gibbs.

 

[Dr Fruitbasket Returns]

And you end up with Moltzen as part of the deal. As a Saints supporter I'm definitely hoping it happens.

 

[Surely]

Sign him now

 

[Feej]

If he was available and we had the $$$, why not? Although his last year at the tiges wasn't great by his standards, he's a proven game breaker and still has a couple of years left in him.

"I don't know where this has come from, Benji's playing rugby in New Zealand, he's comfortable in New Zealand, he loves the Blues and he understands he needs to earn his position," Tawber told 3 News

Does he have the full support of the board.

SIR John Kirwan is the coach of the Blues. (they hand out knighthoods in corn flake packets in nu zulund) and I'm doubting he has the full support of the board.

OT:

Former Liberal prime minister John Howard has disagreed with the decision to reinstitute knights and dames into the Australian honours system and said it was ''unlikely'' he would accept an offer of a knighthood should it be offered.

I knocked one back too. Nothing in it really.

I would consider it if i got to ride round in shining amour rescuing damsels in distress.

You've never knocked one back in your life. With a head like yours, you couldn't afford to. :lol:

Benji is everything our coaches don't like. No chance. FB good option. Better suited to the Cowboys.

Not a great tackler rules him out and unlikely to convert to second row. Plus Gall wouldn't like not being the centre of attention.

Said he wont play against the Tigers. Won't be cheap. Apart from that he's a chance.why ruin your legacy by joining the grinders?

I think he is past it and would be without motivation.
