‘In Benji we trust’: Wests Tigers squash Marshall resignation rumours
“It’s harder than I thought, absolutely.”
Following a string of disappointing performances that have the Wests Tigers sitting at the bottom of the ladder, rumours emerged over the weekend that Benji Marshall was close to resigning from the head coaching role.
However, Marshall and the club’s CEO, Shane Richardson, have subsequently squashed the social media rumours as they look to move off the bottom of the table and not clinch their third consecutive Wooden Spoon.
After back-to-back wins against the Gold Coast Titans and Canberra Raiders, the Tigers have had a horror past three weeks which have seen them concede 138 points and only score 40 points in attack.
“Or course man,” Marshall told The Daily Telegraph’s Buzz Rothfield on remaining on as the head coach of the Tigers. “It’s harder than I thought, absolutely. Maybe I shouldn’t say harder. Probably everything I expected to be with some GST on top.
“Look it’s not that bad. You’ve got to have purpose and challenges in your life. You can’t give up. We have to fight our way through until the end of the season.
