Benji stays a Tiger

Benji Marshall is likely to see out his career at the Wests Tigers after agreeing to a new four-year deal.
The Kiwi international, already contracted until the end of 2011, will remain with the black and golds until the completion of the 2015 season.
He will be 30 when the new deal expires.
It's a massive show of confidence from both parties, with Marshall one of the game's top talents but also one that's prone to inconsistency and injury.
The Tigers will formally announce the contract extension at a press conference to be held at Taronga Zoo on Thursday afternoon.
It comes just a month after the joint-venture club enticed dual international Lote Tuqiri to the club.
The Tigers have not made the finals since their premiership-winning year of 2005 but are confident they now have the playing roster to have a major say in this year's competition.
