Would you want Benji Marshall to join our team this season?

[rissolerob]

He has just changed his name by deed poll to Hasbeenji Marshall

 

[Stoofy]

I think he would be a great pickup for a club. Not too sure if we can use him though.

Being told he is not wanted by the Tigers & getting a new start might just be what he needs.

He would also need to forget about the Footy Show & concentrate on his game.

 

[BUGDOG]

His missus will decide whats best for her "career" and benji will follow..

 

[jon50n]

No we don't need him, if he came it would be another Barba saga by disrupting our team .. what would our juniors think Templeman, Mybe etc who are playing in NSW Cup to get experience we would risk losing these kids for someone who is well over his best! Sorry no thanks

Also look at how good our boys are playing this year, similar to how the Tigers are playing as a team.. last year with Marshall and Barba disrupting their teams now after a few rounds in 2014 none of them are at the Tigers or Doggies and both sides are in the top 4 ... Yes we need that x factor and whilst on his day Marshall is that, I would not want to risk on what we have achieved so far this year ... need I say more?

[Moedogg]

ben roberts, ben hannant ,ben barba. The last three bens proved disastrous. No more bens for me.

 

[N4TE]

^^ I agree Ben there done that..

Sorry guys..

 

[TalDog]

If he is cheap then for sure

 

[blueyedsamurai]

Benji played 10 years for the tigers and they made the finals 3 times. He is a good touch footy player though

 

[Qld-Dog]

We don't need him, we don't want him and we do not need another Benchy!!
Bad attitude, seen better days and certainly not worth any funds that may be available from the Bulldogs bank account. please stay in NZ permanently.

 

[vietorious]

Id take him on my touch team.

 

[K E]

No, fck him. Not even if he was salary cap exempt. I'd take Mbye as backup over some turnstyle who's living off reputation.

 

[Powerslide]

Why is our team captain quoted in the media as talking up Benji?

 

[Packy]

I believe the correct answer to this thread is "lol no"

 

[rexest]

Mbye is living off his u20s rep, Has done nothing in the nsw cup tbh bad form from the 4 or so nsw cup games that ive watched.

 

[immortalbulldog]

And play exactly where?
Tomkins - the $2.8 million dollar plus massive release fee recruit has FB spot.
Johnson - actually currently playing very well and just signed new contract has HB spot.

Both are far superior players to Benchi

You kind of left out his preferred position which is 5/8

 

[immortalbulldog]

Why is our team captain quoted in the media as talking up Benji?

When?

 

[immortalbulldog]

I doubt he will even be considered by the club. What for?

Even the media haven't suggested we would chase him and they link us to everyone else. They listed about 4 teams that might want him and we weren't one of them.

Matty Johns kind of hinted that we were sniffing around which means there is no chance in hell he is coming lol.
