Surely you guys can keep either Farah or Benji

Surely you guys can keep either Farah or Benji, and I know many people talk about Robbie testing himself on the open market for 2010 but the fact of the matter is he flew up to the Gold Coast, held talks with the Titans, and the talks were, from the Titans end, very positive. This should send Alarm Bells ringing at Leichhardt. I think the Tigers need to hold urgent talks with both Marshall, Farah and their managers to know where they stand. Both are coming off contract in 2009 and the outlook is not positive. Having Scott Prince at the Titans may also help lure Robbie Farah to the Titans. It's almost certain the Tigers will lose one of, if not, both their marquee players. The solution? Benji Marshall has indicated that this may be his last year in the NRL and surely Farah is worth more than he's currently on. If that is the case, they can possibly top-up Robbie's contract a fair bit (not all of Marshall's salary or course). The problem here lies with Benji Marshall and the Tigers are currently in between a rock and a hard place. Benji must immediately let the Tigers know of his intentions for the future so they can start working on the contracts of their 2 most valuable players.

At the end of the day mate its hard to keep players if they dont want to be there i suppose.

That's true, and Robbie also has the temptation of living on the Gold Coast for a few years. If that's the case, the Tigers could possibly offer him more money to keep him at Leichhardt. It is ashame, but money could be the only way to keep Robbie at home.

"He just thinks it's not what it used to be like when he first started with the club,'' - a source close to Marshall said. (From http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegrap...006066,00.html)
I'm surprised more has not been made of this comment, to be honest...

The Tigers want to meet with Marshall and his manager soon - that was in the Sunday Telegraph.
