Benji Marshall #70

[The Spine]

the post football deal must go and never be offered again

I've been watching NRL 360 a fair bit since Ben Ikin put his hand up to be CEO of The Broncos. If he gets the job then who takes over Ikin's 360 gig?

I would reckon a Benji jump into that spot would be a near certainty! Afterall, the Show already has a stack of media hacks in Kent, Rothfield, Crawley, Hooper & Reed and very little real footy players input other than the Benji segment with Damien Cook. So life after Footy for Benji in the Comfy Chair?

I imagine one of the girls will get the gig ....

The Girls work cheaper.

Not really surprising that Benji would be offered a position after he stops playing.
Very marketable, ticks the sponsors boxes, has high profile, and would be especially good with young players coming through.
Hope he stays.

If you have former players involved in the club, it leads to a much stronger message when journos contact them for comment.


Why do they need to comment should things be kept in house and leave the comments via the CEO/Coach or Marketing executive not former players???

How does the club prevent that?

Well the 1st thing would be limiting the current players from speaking about internal club decisions with a privacy policy and termination of contract clauses.

Next would be limiting the amount of staff that are available to talk to the media as mentioned prior.

Anyone involved in the Media (Benji - Fox) is requested not to make comment and extra clauses inserted.

We have a culture that player unrest dictates what happens rather than club policy and whenever there unhappy they just spray the club rather than keep in house.

Noted Madge for all is hard nosed approach is not a very good communicator with the players, Benji decision already made but did not have the balls to tell him at the time, was leaked from whom ????

Example is players that left the game early, change the policy that all players contracted regardless of playing need to turn up and support the club/team unless given an exemption by the coach signed off by the CEO.

If your getting paid at your workplace you turn up....

Dean Ritchie reports the petition is set to fail..Sorry Bulldog there was never a snowflakes chance in hell of it succeeding in the 1st place..

I often wonder if these blokes ever re-read what they write before it's published..

I'd love to hear about the last petition that actually changed an organisation's mind.

A lot of us are still hoping the Kick Hobbo out petition has or is about to work

You would be bored if Hobbo got canned.

Tigers new role to keep Benji Marshall revealed. But it won’t be on the field - Fox Sports
Unwanted NRL legend Benji Marshall is set to be offered an off-field position at the Tigers in a bid to keep him involved with the club.
Marshall was told by the Tigers last month that his services were no longer required in a playing capacity beyond 2020, before 8,000-plus fans signed a petition to give him one final season in 2021.
However The Daily Telegraph’s Dean Ritchie revealed the petition is set to fail, but the Tigers will offer Marshall an off-field role to keep him involved with the club he loves.

“No the petition will not work,” Ritchie said on The Big Sports Breakfast.
“I am hearing he will be offered a job at the Wests Tigers as a support for the players.
“They are trying to keep him in the organisation. It won’t be on the field unless there is a late miracle.
“But I think they are looking to keep him on-board in administration, which would keep Benji involved and keep him at the club.
“Benji has to weigh up do I go elsewhere for one year and throw away perhaps a long career off the field at the Wests Tigers or do I take the job.”

The 35-year-old veteran has scored 93 tries in 322 NRL games to date for the Tigers, Dragons and Broncos.
Marshall has been linked with a return to Red Hill depending on who is appointed coach next season, but Ritchie said there has been no concrete offers for Marshall’s services.
“I haven’t heard of any offers,” Ritchie said.
“I’m sure if he priced himself in the right range there would no doubt be some clubs who would look at him.
“But if there is a job there at the Wests Tigers I think Benji would look at it pretty seriously.
“It sounds like a good job. It is long-term and it is at the club he loves.”

Has Pascoe told the NRL? Would be a shame to get another penalty for a post career job....

As stated former players unless the CEO/Coach should really be saying nothing that's not in there PD.

There are lots of leaks coming out of the club always has been policies in place prevent that and add to culture, Cheers.

We are talking about Benji i assume that what this whole post is about, he is a current contrated player and has been whinging to all his mates at FOX that's why we get so much negative press, former player current player still need some confidential clauses or terminated.

I listen to blocker rave about Marshall the other night then put in a nothing kick - Former players will always comment about the club right or wrong.

Surely Pascoe is not that stupid to do it again?????
Then again if the club handled it correctly maybe we did not need to offer anything, pretty poor form of the club.

50/50 call on this one won't be upset if declines the offer and plays on somewhere else but if he does ensure the offer is relinquished.
