The Wests Tigers have confirmed that eight players will depart the club at season's end as the joint venture sets about a roster overhaul.
Benji Marshall, Chris Lawrence, Dylan Smith, Elijah Taylor, Harry Grant, Matt Eisenhuth, Robert Jennings and Oliver Clark will officially leave the club at the end of the 2020 season.
It comes as coach Michael Maguire embarks on a major roster overhaul in his pursuit to bring a premiership to Concord, after the Tigers missed the finals for a ninth time in 10 years, finishing the season in 11th.
Club icon Marshall's final game for the Tigers ended in heartbreak as the veteran's night was cut short after suffering a knee and rib injury in a narrow loss to Parramatta on Saturday.
The club had announced earlier in the season that they would not be offering Marshall a contract moving into 2021, a decision which has since been met with widespread derision.
Meanwhile, Grant will return to the Melbourne Storm as his season-long loan deal comes to an end.
Smith, Taylor, Grant, Eisenhuth, Jennings and Clark have not been offered a new contract for next season.
The decision by the Tigers follows similar cuts made by the Bulldogs late last week who also farewelled eight players.
