Benji Marshall is one of the Wests Tigers most decorated players and one of the clubs most loyal servants. Despite Benji's wish to remain at the club for the 2021 season, Michael Maguire and the inept Tiger's board have given him his marching orders, forcing Benji out of the club next season.
Now I don't know about you but I think given everything that Benji has done for the club, as well as his recent strong performances in his 17th year, I believe he deserves to be rewarded with a 1 year contract to play out the final year of his career for the club he has given so much to. Coach Maguire and the board of dummies might have the final say but I believe it's not solely up to them to make crucial decisions without any consultation from the clubs fans. We've supported the team for years, through the good and the bad, but this is disrespectful and seeing how we treat our veterans isn't helping to lure new talent to the club.
So, if you're a Wests Tigers fan or Benji Marshall supporter, show your support and sign the petition so our voice can be heard!

The momentum behind this is physically draining but seeing this many people agree that Benji deserves better keeps me going. It is clear that the club hierarchy cannot ignore how we feel about this treatment of our veterans.

Benji is a true West Tiger. Started as a schoolboy, won a premiership, left for greener pastures, but returned home. He is the only good thing left after Cleary got off the bus. Who has the ability, the passion, the footy smarts and the expertise to mentor the youngsters in 2021? Nobody I can think of. Why would you not re-signed the player with the most try assists, the one who early on in 2020 was leading the Dally Ms and the one that's not asking for the big $$$. Come on Madge make room for my favourite.
Benji deserves to be looked after by the Tigers. He is number 2 try assist in the NRL. Let him finish his career with the team he loves to play for.
He has been very strong this year and we should give him, and members/crowd, the respect of saying goodbye at Leichhardt and a proper “thanks” while he’s playing. I do not want to renew membership if we don’t.
We should respect players and show loyalty so that they in turn want to stay loyal to the tigers. If we had have done this in the past maybe players like Tedesco wouldn’t be so quick to look elsewhere
He is such a good leader and we need someone to organise the team. We have some very good young players coming through but they need someone to guide them. He's the best! Heart and soul of the club.

Keep Benji Marshall and sack management. Disgraceful handling for the past 8 years or more by Management. 1st Tim Sheens, then Benji & Robbie and now Benji again. Obviously don’t learn from their mistakes. I won’t be renewing my membership next year unless management change their attitude. Very disappointed!
