Even Benji in his pomp couldn't carry this London team, but he hasn't 'done it' for a couple of years at least. And his agent has categorically ruled out a move to the UK. More chance of him getting a hefty wodge for a short stint in France or Japan if there really is no NRL contract. Find that hard to believe though.

More chance of him going back to the Tigers than coming to SL.

100k, David Hughes, via his actions has made it clear the current club is there to fulfil a fixture list, as he doesn't want to fall out with his friends at Red Hall. He won't be investing anything more, not one red cent, so theres either enough change from the Sky Money, or there isn't. I suspect if there was, TR would've called Benji by now.

Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Dragons have Gareth Widdop playing superbly at five eighth and Michael Witt (former London Bronco) playing well at scrum half. Sharks have Todd Carney as their star five eighth and Jeff Robson doing fine at scrum half. Neither club will pay big money for a player who is likely to be playing NSW Cup and waiting for one of the first choice halves to be injured. So my original claim that no NRL club will want Benji for the money he is asking stands unrefuted. That leaves Benji with Super League as his only option. Much has been made of Marwyn Koukash's earlier quest for Benji. But Salford have an abundance of halves, and the coach is unlikely to recommend a costly addition to the roster in that position. Perhaps another SL club might be interested. Perhaps several will be interested. But I would think that London could make best use of him --- if they want to pay his asking price, and if they can get him fit.'" news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-sp ... 383qm.html

That's St George Dragons that play in Super League cos the NRL St George don't want or need him

After watching his first game for St. George, he was truly awful! Knock ons, Forward passes, Passes straight into touch, the lot! Can only get better after that performance I suppose.
