Wests Tigers head coach Benji Marshall didn’t hold back after his side suffered a crushing 64-0 defeat at the hands of the Melbourne Storm in Round 10 of the NRL.

Storm fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen delivered a record-breaking performance, racking up 36 points in a dominant display. The Tigers struggled from start to finish and never looked competitive at any stage of the match.
