Robbie Farah looks set to be shown the exit door at the Tigers amidst a fresh wave of turmoil at the club.

The former Tigers player, who has been serving as an assistant coach, is expected to be part of a coaching overhaul at the end of the season.

The Tigers find themselves once again at the bottom of the NRL ladder, in danger of claiming their third consecutive wooden spoon under the leadership of Benji Marshall.

Despite signs of improvement from Marshall's team this year, they continue to falter, as evidenced by their recent humiliating defeat at the hands of Cronulla.

With only four wins so far this season, the Tigers are on track to match their dismal performance from 2023.

It's clear that changes need to be made in order to avoid another wooden spoon in 2025.

While questions have been raised about Marshall's future as head coach, Tigers CEO Shane Richardson has expressed his support for the first-year coach, urging for patience as he builds and shapes his team.

The upcoming addition of premiership winner Jarome Luai is expected to bring some much-needed quality to the squad, but there is a growing belief that Marshall could benefit from more experienced coaching support.

In a recent segment on NRL 360, seasoned league journalists Brent Read and Phil Rothfield hinted that Farah is unlikely to stay on as assistant coach next season.

Despite having former Cronulla coach John Morris by his side, it is anticipated that Richardson will look to bring in additional coaching experience to bolster the team, leading to Farah's expected departure as part of the shake-up.
