Ahead of the 2024 pre-season, the Wests Tigers have confirmed all the coaches that will look after the teams in the pathways program.
This comes after the Tigers announced Benji Marshall will be joined in the coaching box with newly appointed assistant coaches Chris Heighington and John Morris next season, as well as former club captain Robbie Farah.
“When a young player comes through our rep teams and eventually makes it to the NRL, it’s important they know what we are about,” head coach Benji Marshall said.
“Having already been coached using similar guidelines will make the transition to first grade more effective.”
General Manager, Women’s and Pathways Matthew Betsey, would go on to discuss about how important all the coaches are to the success of the Wests Tigers and the club’s development plans for the future.
“As a development club, our mission is to develop and retain the very best talent in our catchment areas, and that doesn’t just apply to players,” added Betsey.
“Junior coaches, whether they be representative coaches or coaches at junior rugby league clubs, play a hugely significant role in player development.
“It’s vitally important that we not only have programs in place to educate and develop players, but for our coaches as well.”
