Benji Marshall has just four weeks to earn a NRL lifeline but Cronulla are offering the under-fire playmaker no sympathy as they seek to address their own woes.Off-contract with St George Illawarra at the end of this season, Marshalls career hangs by a thread.Amid questions about his own form and that of the side on the back of five straight losses, Marshall was forced to deny allegations he was involved in a heated blow-up with coach Paul McGregor during a video session following last weeks loss to Brisbane.The writing appeared to be on the wall earlier in the year when the club made plays for Luke Keary and Corey Norman and McGregor this week failed to give assurances Marshall would line up next year in the Red V.Marshall is adamant he still has two years left in him and he could hardly ask for a better assignment to prove his worth than against the second-placed Sharks.Benjis a quality player, Sharks coach Shane Flanagan said.You dont win grand finals and play for your country if youre not a quality player.We just hope he doesnt bounce back this week and well just be treating Benji the same as we treat the rest of the Dragons.Marshall shared halfback duties at training with youngster Drew Hutchison during the week however McGregor said he was not about to be dropped.The Sharks are second but are an unsatisfied camp after having their 15-game winning run broken by a draw with Gold Coast and loss to Canberra.The Sharks will be buoyed by the inclusion of retiring hooker Michael Ennis, who missed last weeks defeat to the Raiders because of a virus.Ennis absence allowed Canberra hooker Josh Hodgson to run amok through the middle of the ruck in a game-changing performance and Flanagan promised they would be a different side with the ex-NSW No.9 in their line-up.What he brings to the dressing room pre-game, his contribution out of dummy-half, his talk in the game, his little one per cent efforts, his kick pressure, his kick chase, all of those things are really hard to replicate, Flanagan said.We definitely missed him and, even at training, you notice a difference.STATS THAT MATTER:* Only twice in club history have the Sharks gone a season without losing back-to-back games - their grand final year in 1973 and in 1996* The Sharks have not lost on the road since round three at Brookvale Oval, losing to Manly 22-12* Discipline is a mixed bag for the Sharks - they are awarded the second-most penalties (7.9) but concede the equal-most penalties (8.1)Source: Fox Sports Stats Miles Sanders Youth Jersey . -- Matt Ryan needed one of the best games of his career to lead the Falcons and their depleted offence out of their three-game losing streak last week.

JJ Arcega-Whiteside Womens Jersey . -- Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score, and led No. Hes ready to move on but Wayne Bennett still reckons Brisbane centre James Roberts should be playing in Friday nights NRL semi-final.Roberts was suspended by the judiciary for Friday nights sudden-death clash against North Queensland in Townsville after kicking out at Gold Coasts Ryan Simpkins last week.The 23-year-old was found guilty on Wednesday night of a contrary conduct charge - not a kicking charge, as the match review committee had deemed the action was not of sufficient force.Bennett believes it sets an unfairly low threshold for what can be considered contrary to the spirit of the game.I think we got a fair hearing, thats all you can ask for. We move on, he said.I believe he should be playing... it didnt look great, but the bottom line is if thats bringing the game into disrepute, theres lots of things we do out there that are much worse than that but we dont get chharged for it.ddddddddddddBennett bemoaned the NRL judiciarys inconsistency, saying there had been instances when players have been spared from suspension by successfully arguing they had made only minimal contact, like in the case of Roberts.I think weve all seen this year how tragic its been at different stages... and I use that word not lightly, he said.We had an incident in about round seven, one of our players got an elbow to his head, they deemed that minimal contact, thats why the player didnt get charged.That (excuse) has been used two or three times this year.Roberts has been replaced in the Broncos team by Tom Opacic at left centre, with Jordan Kahu to move to right centre and rookie Jonus Pearson, originally named 18th man, on the wing.
