Benji Marshall has given an insight into the mood of his coaching box during the Tigers' last-minute victory over the Eels. With the Tigers up 17-16, Parramatta were given a penalty with Clint Gutherson opting to attempt a penalty goal. The Eels captain missed, handing the Tigers a thrilling victory, bringing fist-pumps and back slapping from Marshall and his assistants Robbie Farah and John Morris. Asked post-game about what was going through his head as Gutherson lined up the shot, Marshall revealed the stressed environment he was surrounded with by his former Tigers teammates. "It's funny, you've got to sit in the box with Robbie Farah and John Morris to understand," he said. "They're both just like 'we can't lose like this' and I said 'look boys, what is meant to be will be'. "If we do (lose) just be proud of the boys and we got on the right end of it so I'm really happy with that."The win puts the Tigers at sixth on the ladder with Marshall set to come up against his former mentor Wayne Bennett next Saturday against the Dolphins. Marshall will also be coaching against his younger brother Jeremy Marshall-King.
