This answers the question
There's been a lot of talk about whether Tiger's star Benji Marshall will play for the Kiwis this year but this story shows he won't.
In other league news the big punters are rolling into town for this weekend's semi-final matches and one has $50,000 @ $1.30 on the Eels to take out the Cowboys.
The last time the Eels ($1.25 at TAB in NZ) played the Cowboys (3.70) was in round 9 and the Eels won 50-12.
While the other semi-finalist match sees the Tigers ($2.35) play the Dragons ($1.55) - they've met twice during the season, both were high-scoring affairs, and are one a piece.
In round 8 at Telstra the Dragons won 40-32.
In round 16 at Oki Jubilee the Tigers won 32-24.
But for star five-eighth Benji Marshall, who trained yesterday in his Balmain jersey from the NRL's recent 1970s week, the end of the campaign will mean an operation on the shoulder injury he admitted was "a time bomb".
"If the Tigers lose this weekend, and I hope they don't, then Benji will probably have Mad Monday and a couple of days to get the alcohol out of his system and then go into the Mater hospital next week," said Marshall's agent, Martin Tauber.
