The Dolphins have signed Canterbury Bulldogs hooker Jeremy Marshall King on a two-year contract.

The 26-year-old, who has been one of the Bulldogs’ better players this year, has rejected an option in his favour at Belmore to accept the deal to play under Wayne Bennett.

Marshall-King, who has played 88 NRL games, was obviously facing a struggle to retain his first grade position next year with the arrival of Reed Mahoney from the Parramatta Eels.

Bennett and the Dolphins’ head of recruitment Peter O’Sullivan have been impressed with his form this year, despite the Bulldogs’ struggles.

The deal is with around the $200,000-a-season mark.

Good news. Too bad we have to watch another 12 games of him to take the wrong option and taking 8 seconds to pass the ball.. He was even more selfish than usual on Sunday. He should change his name to Jeremy Momentum Killer..

The Bulldogs have been dealt a cruel blow with superstar hooker Jeremy Marshall-King inking a two-year deal with The Dolphins.

The 26-year-old, who has been one of the Bulldogs’ worst players this year, has rejected an option in his favour at Belmore to accept the deal to play under Wayne Bennett.

Marshall-King, who has played 88 NRL games, was named as the Dally M Spud of the year since assuming the #9 role for Canterbury. He is obviously facing a struggle to retain his first grade position next year with the arrival of Reed Mahoney from the Parramatta Eels, realising that he only got the role due to nepotism as his older brother is Benji.

Bennett and the Dolphins’ head of recruitment Peter O’Sullivan have been impressed with his form this year, despite the Bulldogs’ struggles.

The deal is with around the $200,000-a-season mark and the Bulldogs will surely regret this decision, as it is ultimately up there with losing Johnathan Thurston, Damien Cook and more recently Dale Finucane.
