Coach Taylor announces Tigers assistants

New Tigers coach Jason Taylor has appointed David Kidwell, Matthew Cameron and Rod Reddy as his NRL assistants.

New Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor has appointed David Kidwell, Matthew Cameron and Rod Reddy as his assistant NRL coaches for 2015, with Brett Kimmorley installed as the joint venture club's Under-20s coach.

Taylor has moved quickly to stamp his authority at the Tigers, having already told club legends Steve Roach, Paul Sironen and John Skandalis their coaching services were no longer needed.

Kidwell, who was an assistant under former coach Mick Potter, has been retained.

Cameron arrives after serving as high performance manager at resurgent Penrith for the past two years following a lengthy stint in coaching roles at Parramatta.

Taylor said he was pleased with the support staff he has had put together.

"We've assembled a team of professionals from a range of areas who we believe have the skill set and drive to bring the best out of every player in the club," Taylor said in a statement.

"The club has undergone a lot of change recently and I'm confident that our members and supporters will see a positive effect when we take the field for round one."

Tigers chief executive Grant Mayer welcomed the appointments made by Taylor and football operations boss Phil Moss.

"Jason and Phil have hit the ground running here at Wests Tigers and have brought together an impressive group of individuals to make up their coaching staff," Mayer said.

"We're impressed with the direction they are taking the club in and look forward to welcoming the players back to kick start the pre-season."
