Over the last three seasons their finishing position has been 9th, 11th and 13th, and they are destined to continue that downward trend unless Kimmorley can have an immediate impact. 

In the brief statement released on Tuesday afternoon, the club thanked Maguire for his contributions to the club after his time there.

'Wests Tigers head coach, Michael Maguire, has today been terminated from his role, effective immediately. Wests Tigers sincerely thanks Michael for all his hard work and effort over the past three and a half years,' the statement read.
