The Tigers' recent slump has been a stark contrast to their early-season success, and Benji Marshall is taking the blame. With a mounting injury toll and a mounting list of excuses, the Tigers' coach is facing the music and taking responsibility for their poor form. Marshall admits the team is 'in a bit of a hole' and is lacking confidence and resilience, but he's not shying away from the tough questions. He's questioning his own performance as a coach and the team's overall approach, especially defensively. The Tigers' sudden slide has been attributed to a combination of factors, including injuries, a lack of class, and a mounting injury toll. But Marshall is determined to turn things around, even if it means taking the blame for the team's poor form. He's calling for honest conversations and a return to the drawing board, with the bye week providing a much-needed opportunity to reset and reflect. The Tigers' future looks uncertain, but Marshall is determined to lead them out of the hole, even if it means facing the music and taking responsibility for their poor form.
