No one could afford him under the cap in the UK without having semi pro players around him. spending 700k on 1 player would be impossible for every team.

A change to the salary cap system though, as most people seem to agree on would bring him over to a club with an owner who like's to see the best players on their pitch.

Otherwise I fear a trip in the murky waters of Rugby Union in France for Benji.

London bound, he's also convinced Soward to stay there with him so they can form the most devastating Half Back combination Super League has ever seen... icon_wink.gif

So when he teams up with Chase,SBW and Frank Pritchard along with at least another 6 big name signings at Salford i guess that means we will be winning everything next year.
Time to start increasing the stadium capacity to fit everyone in and dont forget to book your season tickets early.

WOW! What an idea!

If you don't mind, I will call David Hughes immediately!

This is the only way we can stop the rot of Super League playing standards, given the economic situation in Britain and the incompetence of the RFL management in acquiring funding for the game.

The marquee player exemption -- one or two players exempt from the salary cap --- would seem to be the best solution IMO.

As unlikely as it is, Salford would be daft not to make him an offer. Say £400k a year for 3 years.
And also to think Wigan will be saving around that with Sam Tomkins and Pat Richards leaving at seasons end. You never know!!!

Benji is a great talent but I dont blame wests for taking away the contract. Marshall's form for 12 - 18 months has been patchy. He doesnt attack the line anymore and is just happy to pop the ball of to someone else. Look at how Thurston plays compared to Benji. JT wins game for his sides and is a real game changer.

Benji on form isnt guaranteed to start for the Kiwi's. On form the half backs should be Foran & Shaun Johnson.

The days of star players of any description plying their trade in Super League are well and truly over. They'll either ply their trade in the NRL or in Rugby Union.
