Make sure you join us for this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. Some of the main talking points include: what has actually been the reason for the fall-away in confidence and form? Who plays in the halves this weekend? And what has Solomone Saukuru got to do to get an NRL debut?

They hide behind agreements made 27 years ago. A lot of water has gone under the bridge, including simple generational change in the fan base (WT fans most likely outnumber those of us from the foundation clubs), and a rethink of the organisation is needed.

“Do you think they had WTs best interests at heart” Never

HBG shouldn’t be within a 1000 miles of an NRL franchise. Rotten and incompetent to the core.

How low can you go! Wests Tigers stumbling and bumbling to the end of another season, and with that comes a pretty raw edition of the pod.

On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, we look at how we get on top of a Bulldogs team that has found some form in recent times. Debate whether Koroisau or Haywood starts, mention a couple of possible recruitment targets, and look at the guys that have had two stints with Wests Tigers, and...

We take a look at some of the main issues that have been plaguing the team, including poor red-zone attack and poor counter-attack, as well as a couple of positives, including the debut of young Haywood.

Some optimism (possibly misplaced?) has crept into the Wests Tigers Podcast team. Find out why we reckon an ambush may be on this Friday night at Campbelltown!

It sure is. Also for the fact that post-loss editions are nowhere near as listened to or watched as those that celebrate a win (understandably).

Josh and Nick join me for a look at the Dragons' loss and try to answer some of the big questions coming out of another heartbreaking night for Tigers fans.

The latest mid-week edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast is warmed up and ready to go. The boys discuss the latest Wests Tigers player trades, give AI a chance to predict the team's finish on the ladder, and preview Saturday's big clash with the Dragons at Kogarah.

Well, that sucked! Nick and I perform a post-mortem of the Wests Tigers' insipid performance against the Knights in Newcastle.

Big test coming up this weekend against the Knights in Newcastle. Nick, Joel and Mitch discuss the signing of Jake Averillo, look at other positions that need strengthening for 2027 and preview the big clash against the Novacastrians on Sunday!

The Wests Tigers soldier on, despite the injury gods continuing to wreak havoc! We discuss whether the 2026 side has been physically prepared for the rigours of the NRL in 2026. On a positive note, well done to the boys for not giving up, and who might be the debutant coming in for Patrick...

I know :)
