Benji has the same benefit that Billy Slater has- young players idolized them growing up, makes it easier to get respect

[@PeteRoberts73]

Benji Marshall for Blues coach!!!!

[@troystaunton254]

Not necessarily. Wally was god in Queensland and he couldn’t get the Gold Coast seagulls or Queensland maroons to play cohesively and to put into perspective the level of respect Wally had, Alfie checked if it was ok and offered to pull out if it wasn’t, that Alfie played more origin than Wally.

[@clutch7548]

@@troystaunton254 True, but im sure they still respected Wally, just sounds like he wasnt a good coach or it was bad timing

[@Jason-tb6xp]

As a Tigers fan. It's one win. Lets not blow our load just yet, wait a month and see how we're going.

[@markcoroneos7811]

This ^ Also tigers fan

[@Mr83rt]

They were feeding it to Benji with the loss and now they kneel before him... gotta love the media

Yo, Phil Gould never grows old. Seriously, does he ever age? Could he be a vampire?? 👀

Lets go Balmain 🎉

I’m a Sharks fan, I was extremely nervous heading into this match, and to be honest I feel more nervous about these games rather than against the heavy hitters such as Penrith, Melbourne or the Roosters. People expected us to win and win comfortably, and we were heavy favourites, and sure why not after the first 2 rounds and the way our defence has currently been, but I had butterflies for this match, and what I feared is exactly what happened on the weekend, sure it hurt and I felt extremely embarrased, our boys had a complete shocker. However at the same time I was happy for the Tigers, I have a soft spot for that team as I’m sure many others do, they’ve always been considered everyone’s “2nd favourite team”, I would’ve rather this happened to another team rather than us but I’m use to us getting these sort of occasional floggings happen to us over two decades. I’m happy for Benji and the boys, we got humbled and it gave us a chance to look at ourselves and make us realise that we’re not as good as we think we are, I look at this as a blessing in disguise. For Tigers sake I sure hope this is not just another one hit wonder victory and they go back to being the laughing stock of the competition getting flogged by 60 and 70 points as they have been over the past few years, I want them to be successful, for the clubs sake, their fans and the game in general, it must absolutely suck and hurt being on the bottom of the ladder every year, we felt it during the mid 2000’s and early 2010’s but since 2015 we have been a consistent finals footy team only missing in 2021 thank to the Warriors getting spanked by the Titans in the final game and they jumped up to 8th and we dropped to 9th that year. Let’s hope Tigers become a force, I believe in Benji.

[@vviv7230]

I want to see the West tigers in the top four at least. Benjie Marshall has an infectious positive nature. You can see this is filtrating through his team. These guys are starting to believe in themselves again. Most people have written Benji off. I see Benji will be around for a long time as a top professional coach. Extremely ambitious and a true believer. He will never give up.

[@travelshomeandabroad3221]

Always helps wen you get a very popular bloke like benji az a coach

[@markcoroneos7811]

Tigers have never had a problem finding talent. On paper, they have generaly maintained strong teams. The problem seems to be management and training where players are either unmotivated and/or not being utilised properly. How many times has a player left the tigers only to then excel at the new club.

[@fredrickkeviame8832]

Early days.....great start.....keep the momentum Tigers

[@KennyTseraha-xg6gu]

The West Tigers have a combo of experience and the youth. I think Benji has a point to prove and so far so good. They had a different regime in the last season and I think 2024 we will see some changes happening. Benji knows this footy club well and he might take it the next level. Go the Tigers. All the best. Regards from Bougainville Island, PNG.

[@aaronward6466]

Calm down. He has won one game.

[@MusMasi]

could also say calm down he has only lost one, game, and the week before calm down he hasn't even coached one game yet, and there were people calling for his sacking, saying hes not good enough to be an nrl coach.

[@AussieEvil88]

they always do this, use this kinda over the top hype up language, remember when they said Luke Brooks was the next Andrew Johns? (after his first ever game), the pressure heaped on that kid almost crashed his footy career into the ground. being optimistic is fine, but i would hold off on cracking open the champagne bottles and celebrating the Tigers premiership win just yet.

[@digbyleadon4264]

Champ this is the only time tigers will get any praise this season, why do you feel the need to chime in defo a souths supporter

[@pumlin1]

... against cronulla

[@nigelmcculloch3746]

No one really knows anything (except Gus of course lol) until about the last few games before the final 8!

All power to Benji at West’s but these sperts are notorious for putting the ‘kiss of death’ on players & teams.

But they we're competing for the spoon more than 5 times

Yes, the Tigers won that and they will win other games in the future. And you'll invite Benji into WWS commentary, he'd be like, Yah!

[@colinwoods5663]

Considering the poor efforts of the dragons and souths and gold coast they are a certain for bottom 5

[@bye692001]

All Prisoner of the moment, Tiger wins one game and they talking as if they have been on a 5 game win streak.

[@clutch7548]

Better than getting pumped, and they are predicting the future. What if they have more success?

[@jackallenplain]

They also lost one game and everyone jumped on Benji like he wasn't a real coach too

[@MusMasi]

@@jackallenplain lol they jumped on him even before he had even coached one game. NRL coaches get a lot of stick but I don't remember the media ever having it in for someone so early before.

[@thomasrodwell563]

Luai will ruin the Tigers. Calling it now.

There's no reason to suggest so, infact there's every reason to belueve the opposite

Love the fickle nature of sports commentary. You win = don’t doubt them, they’re great! You lose = doubt them. Reorganise the whole team. Send players down.
