Supposedly this guy has been on the money in the past, gets the inside scoop from somewhere.
With strife at the club and Sheens on "shaky" grounds (as the media probably try to point out), we all know there's a clause in Marshall's contract to get out if Sheens does.
Hope this isn't the start of more 'divisions' at the club >_<
"I was told today that the Warriors have had 2 meeting with his manager Martin Tauber so far this year. No contract has been offered but there is another meeting planned in the week leading to the Anzac Test.
The Warriors are in a unique position of being able to make him the poster boy of RL in NZ. In Sydney he is a small fish in a big pond but in NZ he would be marketed to be bigger than what Dan Carter is today.
With the Salary Cap to be raised and 3rd party deals falling over themselves Benji would have his face on everything in NZ and potentially could make over 2 mill a year easily. A sticking point though would be his contract with channel 9 which wants to have him tied up for ever so he can pursue a media career when his footy days are over.
Tim Sheens is nearly on the outter at the Tigers and heaps of people have said Benji wont stick around once sheens goes and $$$ talks
I dont know what to make of this, this is a very reliable person who told me but a couple of things i dont get are, his cotract ends in 2013 so this is a loooong way off and could the Warriors be the team he wants to head to.
Watch this space i guess"
