| That's what I was getting at, although he's certainly no world beater, Robson is the ideal style half back to accompany Carney, and Carney plays a lot better when Robson plays. For a little half , He's a great little defender is Robson too.
The Sharks are a great roughie bet to win the NRL with a current price of 66/1. Even though they're only 1 from 6, with the amount of upsets so far in the NRL, they're only a couple of wins from the 8. Although I'd still suggest they are probably a couple of centres short of a premiership winning team, but as they showed last year, on their day they can and do mix it with the best. I'd suggest it's worth a cheeky fiver bet.
And back to the original point, it still wouldn't surprise me to see Marshall sign with the Sharks, even though I don't think they really need him. There is talk of Robson moving to 9...

| 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.'"
i'll bet you a pint of tooheys new that he plays nrl this season?

| 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.

| 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.
