Should we go after?

He is better than what we have now.

EDIT: He isnt the best half but on his day can be a weapon.

Marshall victim of Dragons' cash flow problems

The Dragons are offering Benji Marshall to rival clubs – on the quiet.

Benji has another year to go on his rich deal with the club and the Dragons would be happy to see a rival club take him off their hands next season.

The former Tigers pin-up boy has improved his form in recent weeks and took out man of the match honours in the Dragons’ big win over the Bulldogs – but is still struggling in key areas of his game.

Even with the Dragons willing to pay some of his wage, it’s doubtful any other NRL club will be willing to take Marshall off their hands given the big dollars he is on.

The Dragons are still sorting out a salary cap mess from recent seasons and cutting the Kiwi ace loose would free up some much-needed funds.

Club officials know they need to sign new blood to be a force in 2016 – but can’t do so at the moment as they have so little room to move under the cap

If dragons are willing to pay part of his contract than im all for it. Marshall has more talent and creativity in his left testicle than both our halves combined. Just depends on the money transfer and needs to come this year not 2016.

At the right price e.g 400-500k sure for this year and maybe next.

He still has a decent kicking, running and passing game which is something we need.

His defense is woeful though we could cover alot of that with Jackson/Morris near by.

He would be hungry to win a title again before hanging them up and behind a pack like ours with Morris bro's, Lafai, Rona etc he would go pretty well I reckon.

Only reason I'd say no if it's like 800k or 3 years or so.

We have become a bit desperate.
No we haven't... we only lost 2 games of which one of them we had half of our team (our main strike powers and some of our best players )out... It's not as bad as we are making it out to be...

remember 3 weeks ago we mounted the biggest comeback against the Tigers...

Our halves are out of form, but things are not that gloomy as much as some are making them out to be... People need to chill the Phuck out...

Yes I know. But we need some excitement in attack. We are pretty boring. Benji has the talent to spark something from nothing. I think this is what we are after. We havent had anything like this since 2012.

I don't believe so.. I think we had excitement in attack when we fielded full strength side including BMoz...

I think what Marshal may offer in attack, lacks a lot in defence..

even at full strength this year and Halves in good form, we still cant score tries and dont have the Xfactor halves that can get us over the line and the Elusive premiership. The proof in that is 3 semis 2 grand finals, 2 shit halfbacks, we need clutch plays to win the big games...
Benji would give us the Xfactor we lack and behind our forward pack with help from Mbye/reynolds would make us that more complete and Dangerous.
