Welcome home, Benji
They're not exactly waiting with bated breath for Benji Marshall across the ditch. The respected Rugby News had this to say about the Auckland Blues-bound playmaker: "Marshall, despite those who argue, is not the answer at first five (five-eighth). He has the defensive skills of a turnstile and lacks oomph in the long kicking game. He joins the Blues at a time when his form is in decline. Given his age (28), he's hardly a long term signing." Welcome home, Benji.

Chooks - salary cap - money - bad business - gtfooh!
Chooks favourites to land Ferguson
The Roosters remain favourites ahead of Cronulla to nab exiting Canberra star Blake Ferguson, but don't rule out South Sydney or Canterbury. With their rich and strong history of indigenous players, the Rabbitohs believe they can keep Ferguson on the straight and narrow and get him playing his best football. And then there's the Bulldogs. As one Belmore insider told The Lurker: "Do you think Des would be letting Ben Barba go if he didn't a have a quality replacement lined up?" The Chooks' thick cheque book may have the final say, though. Watch this space.
