Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall is confident that Greg Inglis can help Jahream Bula be even better in his second season in the NRL. The 22-year-old fullback was one of the few bright sparks at the Tigers in 2023 but even he was unable to prevent the side from picking up a second-successive wooden spoon.Marshall sees the potential in the youngster and wants to help him avoid any second-year syndrome. When informed that Inglis would be personally helping Bula with his game, the 22-year-old said he "felt like crying". And Marshall is banking on the pair's chemistry to bring out the best from the fullback. "I haven't had a lot to do with Greg personally, but him and Jahream have a really good relationship," Marshall said. "They probably remind me a lot of each other off the field, they are really quiet guys and don't like talking too much, but he will be great for Jahream off the field. He won't get too involved with things in the club but it's been good having him around." Marshall has a difficult task ahead of him, trying to bring life into a Tigers side that has offered very little for more than a decade. In an attempt to revitalise the side, the club legend has brought in Canberra halfback Aiden Sezer, ex-Melbourne centre Justin Olam and for the 2025 season Penrith five-eighth Jarome Luai. Marshall has confirmed Sezer will replace Luke Brooks as halfback after he left the club at the end of last year to join Manly but who will join him in the halves is yet to be decided.
