Can we sell Marshall Please?

My Question is does West's Tigers Management read these board's to get a fill how the Fan's fill , HE CANNOT BE SIGNED AGAIN HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The more we hang on to under-performing first graders the more promising juniors we will lose. If I was Nofoaluma and copped an earful from Benji I'd be pretty angry.

As Happy said it , that would be humiliating for the kid to be told of like that . If it wasn't for Nofo we would of not won against the Panthers with those 2 tries he scored against them and he played busted the 2nd half , vs the Cowboys he had a blinder and scored the Match winner, in what his 4th or 5th game of 1st grade . give him a brake I would of told Benji to go and get …...
 
He has no Rugby League skill. Never has. Ive been saying it for years but so many believe all the media hype. He came to Rugby League as a kid with a step. That's it. I believe he tries but he hasn't got the skill, its as simple as that. Everyone waiting for a turnaround in his form will be waiting forever. This is his form. This is as good as you will get.

Wests will be moronic enough to re-sign him though. Mark my words…

The guy looks totally disinterested.Okay they are hard times,but you never see a bloke like Farah toss the towel in.

The coach has to sit him down and ask him if he wants out and if he wants out show him the door now before the 1st of July.I just don't think the magic is their anymore or at least with Benji and the Tigers

Can a player "throw" a game?

Obviously the money Marshall brings into the club through sponsorships and PR is more important to WT Management than winning matches.

Yep we choose the easy way out

Instead of hoping the team can become a solid unti that can compete week in week out like many other clubs , we rely on pretty boy Marshall

Is there any coincidence between his coming out about his relationship with Zoe and his form , they do correlate
 
For mine it all falls back to his formative years as a player under Sheens.

The era of zero consequences for fatal flaws in his game just increased profile and money

That sponsorship dries up really quickly with form like his though

Let's hope so, Smeg, because that will be the only way we will ever be rid of him. Unfortunately, the sponsors and media somehow don't seem to have noticed his progressively worsening form as yet. Blind, ignorant or just refuse to acknowledge it - who knows?
 
A lot of people aren't going to agree with me on this and I know Benji is in a massive form slump at the moment but everyones being pretty hard on him saying that he should basically just be shown the door and thats it.
Its not all his fault that we are losing games.
Our defence on the edges tonight was shocking in general and the Brisbane forwards just dominated us.
He's been our saviour for so many years now and its tough to imagine him playing for any other club.
Think of all the games he has played good for us and the amount of times he's won us matches.
He is playing horribly at the moment but for many reasons I reckon he deserves to finish his career at the Tigers and be a one club player.

The defence on edges? He was personally responsible for two weak tries.

the weak edge tries was him missing the first tackle which led to the try. yes he has been the saviour but you cant pay a guy 600k a hope he rediscovers his form well he isn't he is 30 or something and his time is up should go to japan for some good money and bring Moses and Brooks up next year and with his money buy some massive forwards
 
Benji's performance tonight:

1) We lost momentum around the 10 minute mark leading 6-0 when, with no pressure on him, he put in an useless grubber on the 5th tackle it didn't even make the in goal….Broncos go on the ascendancy down field

2) Before this he put up a woeful bomb on the 5th tackle that went backwards...totally ineffective and killed off any momentum we had.

3) Ineffective chip kick for Tedesco(way too high, gave Teddy no chance to run onto it)..Broncos cpome down field and score in the corner.

4) Two missed tackles that directly led to trys.

5) Blair was also useless tonight..showed no urgency to regather a kick on the 5th tackle that led to another broncos try,,..

If you are a tigers player on $100k and are playing next to these "marquee" players who are on $550k and seeking $1m per season and see their lack of effort what would you be thinking?...

We need a major clean-out....everytime Benji plays his value goes down not up...
 
Benji is burnt-out & must be dropped from 1st grade. He has become a liability in a team that is already struggling with injuries & poor form. Coach Potter is fighting for his NRL coaching career so Benji & other non-performers can expect to be dumped & encouraged to leave the club.
On form Benji would not be selected for the NZ national team.
Close to one million dollars of Tigers salary cap is spent on Blair & Tuqiri. Management can't change the past but lets hope they have learnt from their bad decisions.
 
I rarely watch a Tigers game live, but IQ it and sit down and watch the game later. After the game finished, I turned on the game to watch the demolition. I made it to half-time and switched it off and went to bed in disgust.
Up till then, I saw some players like Fulton, Iosefa (49 tackles in total), Tedesco, Simona, Nofo, Woods and a few others, bust a gut, but the failure of the high profile, high priced players were too big a load to cover for.
There were some young forwards trying, but they lacked any leader in the pack. Where was the INTERNATIONAL Kiwi great Blair, who should have been directing the forward pack? He made a good number of tackles, but did not seem to have much effect in attack.
The backs were a leaderless bunch, because Benji is NOT A BALL PLAYER, NOT A LEADER and appears to be disinterested in doing anything, which might lead to him getting dirty. He is worse than useless, because he lacks many game skills.
PLEASE DO NOT OFFER HIM ANY EXTENSION TO HIS CONTRACT!
 
If we had a draft system like the AFL, we'd be waking up this morning, reading the papers that Marshall and WT are being accused of tanking last nights game. Well this was a tanking of different sorts, the Soward experiment. I think Benji has reached his goal, give him that release. The longer we dance with Benji, the worse it will get. It's so obvious his intensions.

Benji Marshall…..

Can you imagine walking into a car dealership and paying the big bucks for a high performance Porche. Then they wheel out a rusty, beat up, old Volkswagon. That's how Benji makes me feel...
