He's actually coming for the sunshine but doesn't want to admit it.

Moltzen just wrote to Lewis Brown (Penrith player) on twitter. Saying he is on holiday in England and is definately not thinking about a permanent move to England.

Some are also suggesting they'd 'like' to see the back of Marshall - Well if it was remotely even vaguely possible we could get him then I'd pick him up from the airport myself and drop him off at LP (I'd have room in the car after throwing Perry and Hohaia out at the other end)

Good call. I'll get the brews on for when you get back.

Its all wishful thinking though, isn't it? Surely he'll command a too bigger wage for a UK side?
No harm in making an enquiry, though Eamonn?

Would he not count as a 'star' player? a major capture from the NRL that we could get some of his wages excluded from the cap ? I'm sure we could get some private sponsorship for a player with a reputation like his ... I'm certain if he was on Wigan's radar Pollard would be kicking the salad dodger at the RFL's door down.

It's highly unlikely any ESL team could match the Aussie money but if he doesnt want to go to another NRL team and doesn't fancy Union maybe he could be tempted.

I'd forgotten about the "star player" thing. Break out the Hedge funds Mr Coleman.

Unfortunately, as I understand it the clubs voted against a 'marquee player allowance' at the last big meeting about the restructuring of the league. A massively shortsighted decision IMO, and this is exactly why - a club like Salford may just have been able to turn Marshall's head if they'd have been able to bid what they wanted. What a fillip that would have been to SL.

Dont the goons have special deals for Tomkins and that Union pudding Powell? If Marshall came to SL he would be the biggest star by some way , unless these rules only apply to Wigan - wouldnt be the first time
