If true, I despair at our clubs. We make a really positive move by bringing in the marquee allowance to combat the player drain to the NRL, so what do teams do? Use it to give an antipodean a one year retirement holiday.

I'd say Marshall is a pretty special player and one I'd be very excited to see play in SL.

As far as I'm aware SL isn't losing anyone to the NRL this year and on top of that Hull aren't losing anyone else they'd like to keep i.e to another club either.

If they've got a marquee slot open and no other targets, then why not? It doesn't seem to be at the cost of anyone else.

To be fair he was playing some good rugby last year so I’d think he could still do a very good job here pulling a team around the pitch.

He wasn’t the line breaker of old but a bit like some of the better halves do he adapted his game to be more of a midfield general.

I’d like to see him do a year maybe 2 here.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Dec 01, 2020 9:06 pm  
If I were a fan of Hull I’d want to know what the longer term plan is. Once Benji has taken his wad back home, do they have a succession plan in place or will these constant stream of quick fixes just keep rolling through. St Helens have just won their second GF on the spin, Wigan won 2 of the 3 before that, Leeds won the ones either side of that Wigan win in 2016, Saints, Leeds and Wigan dominated it before that, alongside Bradford and all four threw themselves head first in to bringing talent through their academies and continue to do so. Hull have dipped their toe in a little bit but not to the level that is needed to build a club that will challenge the monopoly of those 3 sides above (which used to be 4). Rugby league seems a way of life in Hull, the amateur clubs always seem to be strong, so where are the players? Why is it failing in the main?

Don’t solve that and you can keep bringing as many Benji’s in as you want but you’re going nowhere in the long run.
