Decision today on Benji Marshall
13 April 2006Â
A decision on whether Kiwis rugby league international Benji Marshall will have surgery on his damaged right shoulder is likely to be made today.
Marshall saw a specialist yesterday to discuss scans taken of the dislocated shoulder and appeared far from disappointed when he spoke to reporters afterwards.
"I had a little chat to the surgeon, but we never made any decisions and I have to see the coach (Wests Tigers' Tim Sheens) tomorrow to see what he has to say and we will probably make an announcement tomorrow (today)."
He said there was a definite possibility he would require surgery, but whether it was immediately or later in the year was yet to be determined.
The five-eighth dislocated his shoulder in the closing minutes of Wests Tigers' National Rugby League (NRL) game against North Queensland last Friday.
The most optimistic date for a return to the game given so far has been six weeks, which would still rule him out of the Kiwis' Anzac test against Australia in Brisbane on May 5.
