We've counted at least five major issues boiling away in the background that must be some sort of distraction for rookie coach Benji Marshall. In no particular order, they are:

A stoush between current and former board members that threatens to end up in the Supreme Court​

A push to ease veteran prop David Klemmer out of the club​
Former player Jordan Miller's legal action following his sacking for failing to turn up at training on time​
An arm wrestle with the NRL over whether centre Justin Olam can be medically retired, potentially freeing up $1 million in salary cap space​
The fight to convince gun playmaker Lachlan Galvin the club has a future before he goes to the open market on November 1​

Have we missed anything? Marshall, as his fights to prove he has what it takes to lead a club, has enough on his plate without dealing with these off-field dramas coming across his desk.

As James Graham told Triple M: "The Tigers play a lot of teams (early) that didn’t play finals last year. It’s the Eels next week, the Dolphins away the following week, the Warriors at home and then the Broncos before the Knights again. It's a favourable start for Benji's second year in charge. There's no such thing as an easy game but you'd look to build off that (draw). It’s important they get their game management right and look to close out and win tight games."

Have they missed anything? More like, have they found anything?🤣🤣🤣

is it a push or an ease of Klemmer?

What does a boardroom stoush at Wests Ashfield really have to do with Marshall any more than you or me?

Former fringe Top 30 player Jordan Miller's legal battle is even off Jordan Miller's radar. He has now taken up boxing.

An arm wrestle with the NRL? Tigers are following the NRL's policy. Can't wait to have an arm wrestle with Services NSW next time I go to renew my license.

The fight to convince Galvin the club has a future lol Galvin watches more Tigers footy than most coaches and defo this journo..Galvin's at Lidcombe Oval, he's at Camden. The guy's heart is in the club.

I doubt if this journo has ever undergone change. The list is always long and because of that there are always multiple pots on the stove. But it's not a a pusg, a fight, an arm wrestle or a stoush. If there's a plan, it is all about patience and consistency.
