Benji Marshall will be out of action for at least a month after being ruled out with a toe injury.

Scans revealed Wests Tigers playmaker Marshall sustained ‘turf toe’ during Monday night’s loss at Melbourne and will miss New Zealand‘s Anzac test clash with Australia on April 19.

His replacement has yet to be confirmed although utility Tim Moltzen and rookie James Tedesco are likely contenders.

Marshall remain in a protective boot for a fortnight and is not expected to return until the round 9 clash with Cronulla at Allianz Stadium.
