THE Wests Tigers have received a huge boost with Robbie Farah and Benji Marshall extending their contracts with the club until the end of 2019.

Both were off-contract at the end of the season and were yet to decide their futures.

But speculation of possible retirements have been put to bed with the 2005 premiership-winners inking new deals.

Farah, who has played 255 games for the Tigers, will be 35 years old when the 2019 season begins.

He famously returned to the black, white and gold club this season after a short stint with South Sydney.

“It’s exciting to finally get it done,” Farah said.

“I wanted to take my time with the decision and I’m glad it’s done now.

“I want to embrace everything and take it all in now knowing it’s going to be my last year, and hopefully leave a legacy once I’m gone. I want to leave the club in a better place once Benji and I are gone, and I’m really looking forward to playing that role.”

Marshall also expressed his excitement at going around again with Farah.

The former New Zealand international has played 221 games for the club.

“It was always my intention coming back here to finish my career here,” Marshall said.

“I think it’s pretty special to start and finish my career at the same place, and to be able to do it with Robbie is something I never could have imagined happening.

“You can’t get that opportunity to play again if you decide to retire and I didn’t want to have any regrets. I still feel like I have plenty to offer, so I’m just hoping that with a big pre-season and an off-season I can stay injury-free and contribute again next year.”
