    Default Benji Marshall

    Reports in Aussie today that he is considering a move to Warrington next season.

    Well he is the only SL club that can afford him. Lets not forget they are the only team that dont need a salary cap

    Would actually like him to sign for them as he will demand a high salary and been a shadow of his former self for last 3 or 4 years

    I think if he comes here it would be to Wigan. All depends if Leuleaui goes round again. The idea would be to partner him with Harry Smith, utilise his experience etc particularly if Hastings leaves.

    I would love it if he went to Wigan or Warrington. A shadow of his former self attacking wise and one of the worst defenders I’ve seen.

    If he went to Warrington then I would expect one of Ratchford, Austin, or Widdopp to move on regardless of the 'flexible' cap.

    Along with Inglis?

    It'd be like playing fantasy RL from 10+ years ago.

    Now that Burrell has left they will have money on their cap. Loved Burrell's comment "I was at a club with massive budgets" Like we didn't know.

    To be honest, Marshall has played well recently, and has shown that he can still come up with assists and decent plays in the NRL, so I wouldn't completely write him off yet.

    Would I want him at Saints, probably not, but no doubt he will end up at Warrington as they will throw their Monopoly money at him.

    Burrell isn’t even counted on their cap yet is he? I thought he was still 0 cost due to the switching sports rule? If he does join it will be a simple Widdop out Marshall in type situation, and between him and inglis we can play who is the bigger shadow of their former selves.

    Bored of other people’s recruitment talk though - we haven’t even announced worlds worst kept secret Joel Thompson yet have we? And with 4 senior players ooc I’d have thought we would have more than fleeting mentions in the news about targets by now ...

    Recruitment is often a non topic when it comes to Saints. Generally when they do it, they do it well, but it’s a rare topic of discussion compared to other clubs.

    Presuming those NRL lads we was last linked with are not likely to happen?

    I don't know whether he counts are not mate, it was just me couldn't resist a pop when he said about massive budgets. Makes you wonder what they were paying him

    He didn’t count on the cap, so irrelevant.

    I thought with that rule you got the first year cap-free, then after that 50% of the salary counts and then it goes up to 100%? Admittedly, I can’t remember where I read that, so I may have dreamed it.

    You didn't dream it,that is the rule. I'm assuming he would of been on cap for 50% as it was over a year since he signed,although with covid and the game being stopped you can never tell if that was the case.

    Those were the days fantasy RL. I spent all of my time making Wigan crap and getting them relegated. Who says I had a wasted youth ? (Well ok middle age)

    One of our mob has always dreamed of winning the Euromillions, actually buying Wigan, then making them crap etc!

    Irrelevant......just like Warrington then
