Quote: Saddened! " The rumours in Aus have you making a firm offer to Benji Marshall. Why would you do that if you weren't losing one of your halves?'"
You don't get how agents in Australia work, do you?
Simply, they use Wire as leverage to get their players a new contract - we are the biggest spending UK side and so they immediately use our name to whip up a rumour. No doubt we are always the first SL side that gets offered these bigger name NRL players for the big, final payday too.
If we had signed every NRL player linked to us during the last decade, we would never had to play a single UK born player.
