Come on mate, you normally provide a balanced argument on stuff like this.
No one really knows who any club have gone in for. For all we know they might be offering him a one year deal, with the intention of going big for Hastings in 2022. There were rumours of interest in him a few weeks back. Who's to say they didn't fail and Marshall is plan B, or even C?
Was Smith off contract this year? If he wasn't, then how could they have done that? I doubt we'd be tempted by any offer. As you've pointed out many a times, there's more to it than just being cashed up.
Also are they not already at square one anyway with the loss of Kelly? They need a HB and Marshall is just as good, if not better than any others available + he'll put some bums on seats too.
If it's a one year deal, then I don't think it's as bad as people are making out. Is it a long term fix - no it isn't, but it buys them a year to find someone.
Yeah maybe I am overreacting. Just seems indicative of how clubs seem to think that when a halfback spot comes up they throw a load of money at a past his best antipodean. I'm not just blaming Hull for that. We've got Connor, Myler and Ratchford playing full back, Smith and McLelland in the stands. Benji gets one last payday.
