Benji Marshall has fired back at criticism over his coaching style, shutting down suggestions he isn't committed enough ahead of the Wests Tigers season opener.
The club legend, who officially took over the reins from Tim Sheens in the off-season, will usher in a new era at Concord today when the side take on the Raiders.
Marshall has limited coaching experience but will have the respect of the playing group - many of who grew up watching the fleet-footed playmaker dominate the NRL.
