Yes that's a fair point, and I think Heppenstall covers soccer and RU as well as RL. That said, Marshall does seem to be a bit of a media darling and there was a similar piece in League Express last year after a big Fax win though that was by Matt Shaw who is a Fax fan (though I think he's a very good RL journalist).


From a neutral point of view I think you could genuinely argue either way as to whether Marshall is over-achieving or under-achieving.

Yep one game is hardly enough to base an objective opinion on.

And this raises another topic that has been mentioned before.

Namely information, or lack of coming from the club.

We never really know what is going on, are we doing okay, are we struggling, are we somewhere in between?

We too are often left with just a little bit of knowledge so as far as we know with the cards he is holding RM could be doing a great job, blundering along or anywhere in between depending on who you listen too.

Fair points.

With A T possibly making a return , RM could be considering to partner Murrel at halfback.!!

Yet Halifax in no rush to offer him a new contract when his runs out in the matter of a few short months. You would think it would be high on the agenda unless they see the things that other people on this board have seen.
