its a league player according to the doc on twitter.

His tweet was in reply to "is the player a union or league?" His reply was "league and I hope he stays in the game" now to me that someone going to Union from league? Maybe Sonny Bill or Big Sam??? Any other other special league player posed to cross to union???

After 3 months of rah rah pre-season, perhaps Benji Marshall has realised he made a horrible mistake?

Like I said earlier it's unlikely to be permitted at this stage for the outcry from Saints, Wigan, Leeds et al, who would be disadvantaged by the sudden late change.

But maybe there is no bid, but it's a good way to get in the press and say well if it had have been allowed I would have stopped Burgess going to Union etc...

Regardless of whether Burgess would have signed for Salford or not.

I think other clubs would have been informed about a marquee player rule as well as Salford. The way RImmer was talking about it on bbc Manc I think this will get the go ahead, or maybe it already has??

Hether[iington said: "We proposed this a few years ago and didn't get the support of enough clubs. But it's been brought up again by Marwan, and there are people at other clubs like Simon Moran at Warrington and Ken Davy at Huddersfield who have the private income to spend more than they are currently allowed without jeopardising the stability of their clubs.[/i

[iWood talked of Super League's "world-class clubs", and said: "Our elite teams need to be cut loose to be internationally competitive." When asked whether that meant a relaxation of the salary cap, which has remained at around £1.7m per club for several seasons, he said: "That is entirely a matter for the clubs. But the centre [the RFL has been promoting the introduction of a marquee player allowance for a couple of years now[/i
