But coach Paul McGregor admits there is still uncertainty about Marshall’s future after their 30-18 win over Newcastle on Saturday.

St George Illawarra have a bye after next Monday’s clash with Manly at Brookvale Oval, meaning Marshall’s future is set to be decided in the final two months of the season.

The Dragons are considering Jackson Hastings’ return to the club after missing out on South Sydney playmaker Luke Keary. McGregor said the Marshall contract situation was no closer to resolution. “We’re comfortable with where it is,” McGregor said. “I’m leaving it up to our recruitment and retention guys and Benji is leaving it up to going there and playing footy.”
