That’s $150k in Rorters Dollars, there’s a 3-to-1 exchange rate to AUD don’t forget.

He was asking for near $500k a while ago (TK numbers, so grain of salt)...now he’s happy to drop to a third of that?

I call shenanigans

I doubt this will happen, we've already got an ageing roster no point adding to it. And besides we picked up Adam Keighran as our back up half so I see little value in adding Marshall.

Keighran is only 23 with only 9 NRL games so he doesn't really fix the problem of the lack of an experienced leader in the halves. Based on last season plainly Keary, even at 28 and 154 NRK games, is not up to it. Personally I see a lot of value in adding Marshall, it will be relatively easy for him, for all his career he has been expected to be the game winner. In this case he just has to lead the team around and get them to do what the coach wants them to do. No miracle plays required.

I think we're looking for another Cronk and this is a square peg round hole thing. I just don't see Marshall as being a consistent organiser in that vein. We've also got Lam vying for the 7, Walker's apparently impressing all and pushing hard to make his debut, can't hold him back for long. And Marshall would be a weak link in the defensive line. Too many cons not enough pros looking forward.

I'd start with Lam and have Walker debut when the intensity drops after the first 4-5 rounds. See how he goes and take it from there.

Experienced depth player I guess? I can’t see him getting much game time unless there is an injury or two.
