Tigers CEO Steve Gill was also delighted that the trio had committed to his club.

““It’s fantastic news for our club to secure the future of our coaching team,” he said.

“The hard work they have all put in has been rewarded, I feel we have some real quality people within our coaching ranks, and they have played an important part in developing the culture within the team and club.”
