The Wests Tigers’ five-year plan is not going to plan.
Tigers coach Tim Sheens is reportedly set to stand aside at the end of the season and hand the reins to Benji Marshall 12 months earlier than planned.
The Tigers board have made the call to move Sheens into an ambassador role after concerns were raised by key stakeholders over the direction of the club.
Sheens was meant to coach the Tigers for 2023 and 2024 before his assistant Marshall took over for the following three seasons.
Sheens has thrown his support behind Marshall starting his head coaching career early but thought he’d be returning to his role as general manager, according to The SMH.
The 2005 premiership winning coach returned to the club in that role last year and was then named head coach after Michael Maguire was sacked.
But it things haven’t gone to plan for the Tigers and with just three wins from 21 games they’re near certainties to collect a second straight wooden spoon.
“It is indeed regrettable that I find myself having to speak of these matters publicly,” Tigers chairman Lee Hagipantelis told The SMH.
“But there have been internal discussions about expediting the transition of Benji into the head coaching role which is something that was always contemplated.”
MORE TO COME.
