IF they are serious about Marshall's extension,the people making the call should be sacked. This is the exact reason this club is in a mess,too many bad bad decisions.

No way Marshall should be given a contract extension…what has he done to earn that ?

Incompetent management making terrible decisions from recruitment to finances have resulted in us now running last and we look like being stuck here for a while.

oh OF COURSE! the lack of money injured half the team…muscles get quite weak when they aren't fed money.... :crazy
 
The more I think about this scenario of this resigning neegotiation the more I think it is a smoke screen by benjis agent. On current and past form he simply isn't worth that much money. Any idiot knows you never pay for historic performance, only for current form. What he did in 2005 is irrelevant to current contract negotiations.

Could this be a bit of leverage fom his manager/agent while negotiating with another club, eg, warriors. It'd be a good way of get his client some more $$$.

"Look benji is about to sign this massive deal with WT but he'll sign with you if you can match the deal."

I know it's a simplistic outlook, but the figures getting thrown round for his resigning wih WT just don't make sence.

Old Maggies fans would long remember that we could never keep the players we wanted. And here we are years later bagging the club for keeping one of our favourite sons …. Things have come a long way since then haven't they hey haha !!!

I hope they keep Benji for life ... The joy he has given to me and the premiership I never thought I'd see in my lifetime outweighs all of the above. I doubt even the great Andrew Johns could do much with this team at the moment. I think the Knights ran last with Joey in the team a few years ago didn't they when they went through a season decimated with injury.

Sign him up I say ..... He'll come good.

Here here,I mean x2 :smiley: …......where you been hiding knuckles??

If they sign him or anyone else for $4 million, I am going to follow the Storm.

Boy, someone at the Weststigers is brain dead.
 
You know, all this talk about Benji coming good, I just don't think it's ever gonna happen. There comes a time in a player's career when they just can't produce what they once did and I really think that Benji is at that place. I think it's time for all of us to face this fact. Sure, he will probably put in the odd good game here and there, but he will never dominate matches like he once did, imo. The game has changed too much.

x4 - He is clearly injured at the moment. People tend to (like voters) have short memories and no vision, they deal with the here and now. He'll get over this injury, Brooks will come good and Benji will start to run and all the neigh sayers will be distant memories.

If as you say Benji is clearly injured why has Potter been selecting him for the past two weeks. He did similar with Lawrence although that sorry sage lasted for 7 weeks. Fix Potter first. At this stage he is showing himself to be the weakest willed coach,
 
Its hard for benji to be a drawcard for the club if he's playiung in NSW Cup.

I'm starting a petition "No contract extension for Benji"

Anyone want to second the motion.?

I think it would be more effective as "Release Benji" I would sign it!
 
Maybe if Benji becomes the $ 4 million dollar man ,we can make him bionic

We have the technology ,we have the power :roll

Ba na na na na na na na na (You young folk won't get this ,there used to be a show on TV with Lee Majorsand the sound effects were hilarious)
 
Seriously though ,the way Marshall is playing at the moment suggest to me that Benji realizes that he is one major injury from the end of his career in the NRL
 
Any other player with his form wouldn't be anywhere near signing a $4m contract. Just goes to prove the Tigers are more concerned with his name than his form.
 
After last nights game, don't sign him. Make him sweat a week or two in State cup.

Matt Utai, Aaron Woods, Robbie Farah, James Tedesco, Jack Buchanan, Jessie Sue - all players that showed heart last night.

Blair showed signs of class, but not much heart.

Benji looked like some of they boys on my son's under 7 soccer team this morning - off with the Faries.
 
Todays DT says the contract change is not an exension, how honouring an increase in line with the cap. Im ok with that.

I reckon people are way too harsh on Benji.
