Benji Marshall, a key figure in the Tigers' glory days and their 2005 premiership victory, has opened up about the decision to part ways with former teammate Robbie Farah.

Despite rumors swirling about the club seeking more experienced assistance, Marshall remains focused on the task at hand - winning Saturday's game against the Rabbitohs.

The relationship between Marshall and Farah dates back to their successful playing days, but the club has made the tough call to not retain Farah on the coaching staff for next season.

Some speculate that the Tigers may bring in a more seasoned coach to support Marshall, who took the helm this year and faces a daunting challenge as they stare down the possibility of a third wooden spoon in a row.

Addressing the conjecture, Marshall clarified that the decision was not driven by a need for more experience.

He emphasized the importance of staying focused on the game amidst the noise surrounding Farah's departure.

As Marshall navigates the coaching landscape, he acknowledges that coaching staff are always evolving, constantly making plans for the future.

Despite the changes on the horizon, Marshall remains committed to leading the Tigers to success on the field as they continue their quest for dominance in the Rugby League arena.
