The players that get the marquee player contacts are going to be under a different kind of pressure, every drop ball, missed tackle is going be scrutinized 10 fold. I can see some players not wanting that.

If we are after a half back James Maloney would fit the bill and is more realistic, he's off contract and not signed up. He is exactly the type of player the marquee rule will attract. On the fringes of Origin, not an international but a gun player.

Goal Kicker aswell

Totally agree with you. Interestingly a few days ago there was an interview in SMH with his manager who said he was considering 4 options, one of which was SL?

I agree but cannot see us signing either to be fair.

What happens to Sutcliffe if we sign a big name NRL halfback?
