RL:Tigers urged to farewell Leichhardt in style

As they prepare to say goodbye to their spiritual Leichhardt Oval home, Benji Marshall wants Wests Tigers to use their farewell game at the venue as the turning point for their stalling NRL season.

The Tigers face Gold Coast at the popular suburban ground on Sunday, before the dilapidated venue undergoes a major facelift in time for the 2028 season.

Wests have won five of their last six games at the iconic ground, but enter this round under big pressure.

Marshall's men have just one victory in their last five, with their defensive woes laid bare in last week's 68-0 loss to Penrith.

"It's a big occasion for everyone and in the context of our season for us, but also for our fans and our crowd as the last game there for a while," Marshall said.
