In a heartwarming and rare moment for the struggling Wests Tigers, Kiwi footy fan and devoted supporter had the opportunity to get his father’s ashes signed by none other than club legend Benji Marshall. Despite the team’s poor performance this year, they managed to attract fans even from beyond the grave.
The touching encounter occurred when the supporter, holding up a sign, made a heartfelt plea to Marshall to sign the ashes. Marshall, always known for his compassionate nature, immediately hopped off the team bus to fulfill the fan’s wish. The scene was filled with emotional significance as Marshall signed the ashes that the son proudly held.
Adding to the heartwarming moment, it was announced this week that Marshall would be taking on the role of head coach at the Wests Tigers in 2024. Originally scheduled for 2025, Marshall expressed his gratitude towards Tim Sheens for making it possible earlier than expected. Marshall’s appointment as head coach is a privilege for him, considering his deep connection to the club.
Reflecting on his career, Marshall shared, “It’s not about the money or the challenge, but about the enjoyment I get from coaching. I’ll bring that joy to work every day and work towards turning the team’s results around next season.”
However, this new role poses a daunting challenge for Marshall, as he will be a rookie head coach in the NRL. Recognizing the importance of surrounding himself with the right people, Fox League host Matty Johns emphasized the need for stability and experienced coaches on Marshall’s staff. John Morris, former Cronulla coach, has been suggested as a potential addition to Marshall’s coaching team.
Despite their struggles on the field, the Wests Tigers continue to inspire and touch the hearts of their fans, both on and off the field.
