<\/p>\nThe Tigers may have beaten the Knights comprehensively, but Benji Marshall was only happy with three quarters of his side\u2019s display, labelling their last 20 minutes \u201cunacceptable\u201d.<\/p>\n
The merger club now end Round 6 in second place behind only the Panthers, scoring eight tries into front of their faithful at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.<\/p>\n
While the Tigers secured two more crucial competition points, Marshall was not happy that his side allowed the Knights to run in three second-half tries after the 58th minute mark.<\/p>\n

Obviously the two points is what you come for and to give our fans (who) go to work on a Monday, something to celebrate is really important to us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I\u2019m happy in that respect. But unhappy at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked to elaborate on what he is unhappy about, Marshall initially said \u201cno\u201d before opening up.<\/p>\n Benji Marshall’s post-match press conference.Source: FOX SPORTS<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s obvious isn\u2019t it? The way we finished the game was just, yeah, we\u2019ve worked so hard to change our standards around what\u2019s acceptable,\u201d Marshall explained.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I thought the last 15 minutes was unacceptable… there\u2019s no way the score should have been 40, whatever, 22. It should have been 40 something to 10, or even 6.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen Jeral (Skelton) threw it in goal and just a few things (I) wasn\u2019t happy with, but sometimes you have got to get perspective around we got the two points too.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we need to be better.\u201d<\/p>\n Marshall went on to break the game down into two parts \u2014 his team\u2019s performance before the 60th minute, and what unfolded after it, particularly in defence.<\/p>\n Get all the latest NRL news, highlights and analysis delivered straight to your inbox with Fox Sports Sportmail.

But we\u2019ll take the two points, we\u2019ll move on and then another big game next week.\u201d<\/p>\n In their last four seasons, the Tigers have endured three wooden spoons and a 13th-placed finish last season, with their finals drought stretching back to 2011.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the longest drought in the NRL, but now excitement is building at the merger club and Marshall doesn\u2019t want it to slow down.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t need to keep a lid on it, we\u2019ve just got to keep working hard, it\u2019s as simple as that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Tied 1st – Tigers blast past Knights | 03:11<\/p>\n MORE NRL NEWS<\/p>\n \u2018MAY AS WELL HAVE GONE TO PUB\u2019: Bellamy \u2018disappointed\u2019 with Storm\u2019s big issue<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018DOESN\u2019T HELP\u2019: Wayne\u2019s update on Souths star amid Ricky\u2019s relief over \u2018crazy\u2019 win<\/a><\/p>\n
