Benji Marshall is a on his way to perhaps a great career in the game of rugby league on and off the field.
Marshall's skills on the field are well documented, though his presence off the filed is undeniable as well as he continues to charm the media throngs scrapping for his attention.
I am sure David Gallop is quietly smiling to himself to read the following.
Union is boring for Benji

WESTS Tigers whiz-kid Benji Marshall says rugby union is a "boring" game to watch, another strong indication he is not contemplating a switch of codes.
Marshall, who comes off contract with the Tigers at the end of next season, has attracted interest from New Zealand Rugby Union, but it appears league has little to worry about.
"I watch a bit of rugby union and it's pretty boring," Marshall said at yesterday's NRL grand final breakfast.
"Playing league is the best move I ever made."
Marshall, 20, played junior rugby union in New Zealand before moving to Australia five years ago to attend Keebra Park High School on Queensland's Gold Coast.
Tigers chief Steve Noyce said yesterday he was quietly confident of keeping Marshall at the club beyond 2006.
