First thing he has to do is get up into the coaches box and look at his chargers from a different viewpoint. He said in the press conference he was happy with that performance. He’s kidding himself and must move away from his sideline gig.It’s time Marshall steps out of his comfort zone , again yesterday showed there needs to be a sharp improvement in the offensive side of this team . Watching highly paid professional players running around for multiple tackles in an opposition red zone with no idea how to progress 10 meters is very sad to so the least and a terrible indictment on the coaching staff …Marshall needs to bring in outside help in this matter the job for the boys has run its course he is either serious about success or not , as watching yesterday was embarrassing at the extreme .
If he wants that kind of gig I’m sure fox or nine would take him on.
How he could put any positive spin on a game where we only score 6 points boggles the mind.

Just a couple of questions:
Has Marshall ever explained the advantage he feels he gets by coaching/strategising/responding from the sideline during a match? Am I right in thinking the only other such coach who does that in NRL 2026 is Ricky Stuart?
I notice the other NRL coaches sitting nearby their coaching staff and analysts in the coach's box during a game which, presumably, gives them immediate access to data and trends in play. How is Marshall getting that same information and who is providing it and how?
Apparently he has spoken about it on 9 or fox… would love to hear what are his reasons. Not just to be down on the touch line but to continually do it.Just a couple of questions:

Heighington is on the sideline also, feeding Benji the stats, and any other info he needs, via an tablet/iPadJust a couple of questions:

I still don’t see the point to continuing it though. It’s not working 🤷♂️
So who is "upstairs" in the coaches box that feeds info to Heighington and Marshall? Morris, I assume? Hodgo is the blue runner so it's not him.Heighington is on the sideline also, feeding Benji the stats, and any other info he needs, via an tablet/iPadJust a couple of questions:

Benji is copping a hammering from fans.
I was disappointed in his press conference. I thought he could have addressed the fans and been more definitive in terms of implementing a plan out of this mess.
Saying “we will look at our preparation and reassess” only works for so long.

Unless something breaks the current losing sequence very soon, the pressure from fans will only continue. Finished 13th last year and we are now tracking for 15 or 16 this season. Tigers fans are sadly used to losing games, but to have an average of 4 points per game over the past 5 weeks is terrible. Even in the 22-24 spoon years, we usually scored a try or two to give the fans something to cheer about. We hear about how good the training and preparation is leading into games but something must seriously change after the last training session to when they get on the field.
Benji is signed for 4 more seasons. We will gut the assistants first and that will buy him 2 more seasons (especially when we juniorised our halves). Then we will pay him out of the the last couple of years and all the players who are Benji’s boys ie the Mays will be paid to move on as our next coach does a clean out. Rinse and repeat
we need experienced assistants
Attack coach Trent Barrett
Defence coach Dean Pay
or
ask brad Arthur to come to and coach

Sadly @tigertownsfs you are very likely on the money with this predictive assessment of the pathway from here. Hasn't this all gone to S**t in a hurry!!!

That would certainly get Benji out 😂
Arthur, despite a spoon at the Eels, has a very good winning percentage and would likely come into consideration imo if we parted ways with Benji.

I would be okay with brad Arthur as coach for 3years. With a good young assistant coach working with him and eventually taking over from him. Maybe someone like Ryan Hoffman.
