The Wests Tigers’ 2025 NRL season marked a step forward under Benji Marshall, securing nine wins to finish 13th on the ladder—their best result and most victories since 2019—despite missing finals amid ongoing off-field boardroom turmoil. Key recruits like Jarome Luai (co-captain) and Sunia Turuva injected flair, while prop Terrell May dominated to claim the Kelly-Barnes Medal as Player of the Year plus Players’ Player after playing every game with relentless metres. Captain Api Koroisau led steadfastly, rookie Tony Sukkar earned NRL Rookie of the Year for consistent second-row efforts, and Jahream Bula took the Wayne Pearce Community Award—but inconsistency held them back, with Marshall’s extension to 2030 signalling long-term faith in the rebuild for 2026.
