West Tigers coach Michael Maguire insists rugby league star Benji Marshall is still very much a part of his plans for this season and remains committed to helping the side make the finals for the first time in almost a decade.

Marshall has been linked with Parramatta after the injury to star halfback Mitchell Moses last weekend while – according to a Sydney Morning Herald report – other clubs have had discussions about his services following Maguire’s axing of the Tigers skipper three weeks ago.

The Tigers have since won two of their three matches and last night’s 34-6 defeat of Canterbury was hailed as the 80-minute performance Maguire has been seeking at a club that last qualified for the finals in 2011.
