Quite different cases. Benji was playing NRL less than a year ago, and his form (usefulness) had already tapered somewhat. If he'd stayed in league his notional value would at best have been stable, but I suspect dropped relative to that prior to 2013. What is so strange about saying that a player's notional value changes over time according to their performance? Imagine that he'd just been injured and missed the first half of the season....but based on last year's form would you value him as highly as early years? Do you reckon Fui is as valuable this year as last year, or 2012?


Izzy left the game (NRL) in strong form, and as a young man, then went away and played a code that does not particularly complement league skills, then returned. We tried to sign him initially for a cap amount of $250k, and you know what happened next.

In the case of Marshall, you have revealed recent deteriorating performance (if you agree with my assessment of his 2013 form) in the NRL. In the case of Izzy you have a lack of current relevant information.

I was being pretty tongue-in-cheek in my post buddy, but as the NRL knows of a contract (albeit void) covering Marshall for this year and next, they should just value him at that amount. Afterall, that is what Tigpies valued him at when they last renewed him.

For sure my friend.....I'd have no problem if they stuck to their valuation of Marshall. ....my main point was that I didn't mind if they allowed an abnormal 'backending' of the contract given the potential mid-season transfer. Each club has a fair shot if they want him (and most wont).

f**k no, not Benji...

Benji Marshall is likely to take more than a week to consider interest from at least five NRL clubs after arriving in Sydney on Thursday.

Marshall, who was formally released from the remainder of a two-year deal with the New Zealand Rugby Union and Auckland Blues on Wednesday, told reporters at the airport that he was back in Sydney to "sort out the next chapter of my career".

Melbourne and Cronulla remain the favourites to sign the former Wests Tigers star but St George Illawarra, Parramatta and North Queensland are also believed to be interested in talking to him.
