League: Tigers look to Benji Marshall

The Tigers league team is hoping the attraction of Benji Marshall will bring at least a few fans out to Ericsson Stadium tomorrow night.

The Warriors host the Tigers in NRL league, and coach Tim Sheens is hoping they are not playing to an empty ground.

Sheens says he thought everyone might be out watching the rugby union tomorrow night!!

He says he understands it is the first time Marshall has played for the Tigers in Auckland, so hopefully the fans will come out of the woodwork.

He says Marshall is in good nick, and is making a rare start, but they are sure his body is up to the rigours again of starting.

Sheens concedes the Tigers have had a spluttering start to the season, but they are looking to continue to turn things around tomorrow night.
