'I'm not going to add any fuel to something that's not true,' Marshall said. 'I'll show you the video. Benji Marshall at Wests Tigers training at Concord. Picture: Sam Ruttyn Marshall denied any altercation with Adam Doueihi (right). 'I've been doing it (joining in training) for the last three years and all of a sudden now it's become an issue. 'It's not about me, the way I coach or the way I do things or whatever, there's always a reason for it. 'It comes down to winning and losing and when you are losing these things come out.' After a bright start to the season, the Tigers have fallen to 14th on the ladder on the back of six straight losses which Marshall said would always bring pressure. But he was adamant the Tigers were still on an 'upward trajectory' and wouldn't be derailed by off field noise. 'You are under pressure. But you have to keep believing in what you are doing. Keep fighting for everything,' he said. 'And as long as inside the four walls with our playing group we are solid with what we are doing and where we want to go, then nothing else matters. 'The only pressure I feel is I want these guys to do well, I want the club to do well. 'Coaching is a privilege and what comes with that, you understand winning and losing determines everything. 'Although we have been losing, we are on an upward trajectory. 'If those wins don't start coming, then of course this talk will start happening. I knew what I was getting into when I took the job.' The Tigers will tackle the Roosters at Allianz Stadium on Sunday. Originally published as West Tigers coach Benji Marshall denies altercation with Adam Doueihi

Terrell May in worrying scenes as Tigers prop cops massive State of Origin blow
It wasn't the greatest day for the Wests Tigers' State of Origin hopefuls as they suffered an embarrassing 64-0 loss to the Melbourne Storm on Sunday. And there was a concerning moment involving Terrell May that might go a long way to deciding whether Laurie Daley picks him for NSW. May has enjoyed a stellar start to the season with the Tigers, and many have called for him to be handed a State of Origin debut. But he crashed back to earth on Sunday and was stymied by a dominant Storm team. The front-rower had 12 runs for 106 metres, and made a whopping 52 tackles in 73 minutes. But he missed three tackles in uncharacteristic fashion - including a crucial one on Cameron Munster that led to a Storm try. May tried his guts out and played big minutes once again, but produced a tired effort on Munster in the 74th minute. The Storm five-eighth brushed past him easily before setting up Bronson Garlick under the posts. The game was already well gone by that stage, but Daley would expect more from a State of Origin player. The fact the miss was against Queensland five-eighth Munster shows what May will be up against in the Origin arena. It left NRL fans questioning whether May is as much a lock for the NSW team as some would think. Roosters great Bryan Fletcher declared him a must-pick recently, but Mark Geyer and Greg Alexander left him out when they named their NSW teams. Tellingly, former NSW advisor Alexander said he believes Jacob Saifiti might have his nose in front of May. What about the full game specialist Terrell May? Stefano played less than half the time he did and almost matched him. This May for origin talk is insane. Playing big minutes means nothing when you're too slow & tired to bend the line — Hillstrand (@hillstrand0) May 11, 2025 Terrell May for origin you reckon 😂😂😂 absolutely praying he's there as a qld fan #NRLStormTigers — Michael Andrews (@Michael26123906) May 11, 2025 Jarome Luai also suffered a blow to his hopes of retaining his Blues jumper. With Nathan Cleary set to come back in at halfback after missing last year's series through injury, Luai is in a shootout with Mitchell Moses for the five-eighth role. Luai and Moses formed a series-winning combination in 2024, leading the Blues from a 1-0 deficit to 2-1 victory. Although Moses failed to fire in Parramatta's loss to the Dolphins on Thursday night, he appears to be slightly in front of Luai. And Ryan Papenhuyzen sent a staggering statement to Daley and NSW selectors with four tries and 10 goals against the Tigers. Dylan Edwards appears likely to hold the NSW fullback spot despite the Panthers' poor start to 2025, but Papenhuyzen showed it's not just James Tedesco vying for the role. Storm coach Craig Bellamy - who will act as Daley's advisor in Origin this year - said Papenhuyzen wouldn't let the state down if selected. Bellamy even floated the prospect of Papenhuyzen being picked on the bench. "I can't remember too many players scoring three tries in that quick succession of time (17 minutes), especially at the start of the game, so he was certainly on the ball today and got some real rewards for him and the team," Bellamy said. "There's a lot of good fullbacks around so that'll be something for the selectors to decide. But at the end of the day, he's never going to let anyone down, without a doubt. "Usually these days that fourth bench player can play dummy-half and play probably in the halves a little bit as well, and I think he could do that well if he had to. At the end of the day, it'll be up to the selectors and what they think but as I said, he won't let anyone, or himself down."

Lachlan Galvin recalled to Wests Tigers team for NRL match against Cronulla Sharks
Lachlan Galvin has been recalled to the West Tigers first-grade team a week after coach Benji Marshall dropped him and a day after the Eels beat the Tigers without Galvin in the side. Amid claims of bullying, potential legal action by Galvin against the club, and a fan backlash, the 19-year-old is set to rejoin Jarome Luai in the halves against the Sharks on Sunday. Galvin played for Western Suburbs in their 22-10 NSW Cup loss to the Eels on Sunday, hours before last-placed Parramatta upset the Tigers 38-22 in their Easter Monday NRL blockbuster.
