Wests Tigers restructure coaching staff to support head coach Benji Marshall

Wests Tigers management is implementing changes to the club's coaching structure to provide greater oversight and support for head coach Benji Marshall. The club is currently seeking a pathways coaching director to manage strategic development across the football program. This move follows the departure of defence coach John Morris after three seasons. A committee led by chief executive Shaun Mielekamp and general manager Pat Richards will now identify new coaching staff, reducing Marshall's sole influence over personnel decisions. The shift addresses internal concerns regarding the concentration of power within the coaching department and the need for independent professional challenge. Marshall, who previously indicated that the pressure of the role had impacted his personal life, remains in his position as the club looks to establish a more robust high-performance framework.
