| Benji would be a good replacement for a not so impressive Richard Myler at the fabulous Catalans Dragons. However I think that such a move might create financial-legal problems for Catalans. But almost any Super League club other than Warrington would be better off with Benji Marshall at No 7.

I don't know the answer to that question.

He would probably want £200k minimum to head up to the northern hemisphere, don't think any club has that amount of cap space available for this season, maybe Leeds if they release Burrows. Is he a risk though he is more injury prone now and his form has been inconsistent probably due to coming to the end of his career.

Marshall is not the type of half back we need.we need an organiser not a maverick.Plus,for the money he would demand it would be a big risk for any side taking a punt as he is nowhere near the player he was before his Union move.

| Benji is not so much of a maverick these days, and he has a good kicking game.

| Surely a team can pay him more if needed under the marquee player system.

But would still be the best player in the comp, such is the gulf in class between NRL and SL, and I'm no fan of Marshall. Harsh reality is that most marquee players are going to be decent name Australian players in the twilight of their careers, as they see it as being able to extend their playing career for a year or two.

I think I would agree with that, Superleague quality across the board is poor.

| Benji would be a great signing for any side.
He is a regular guest on NRL 360 on Fox and I think he mentioned he was holding out for the best deal he can get - but his price is maybe diminshing. Step in a Super League club to pay him what Australia no longer think he's worth.
