NRL season 2025 has officially kicked off and the Wests Tigers play this Friday night.

That means it's time for some fearless predictions around some of the big Wests Tigers issues and questions for the coming season.

Eddie Otto makes a rare weekend-edition podcast appearance, joining Garry Watson and Nick Hayes for episode 0380.

The boys give their thoughts on how the coming season might pan out for the Wests Tigers.

Player and team predictions.

Our predictions podcast includes looking into the crystal ball around who will be the Wests Tigers' best player in 2025, and which youngster will be the standout too.

There's also fearless predictions around best back, best forward, and the player who is picked and played in the wrong position most this coming season.

Eddie's prediction category also includes the surprise packet of the year, and the player that will prove to be the biggest disappointment of the Wests Tigers 2025 year.

And then it's the big one, the prediction that always causes the most angst - where will the Wests Tigers finish on the table this season?

Is anyone brave enough to pick us for the finals, or perhaps you have to be brave to leave the Tigers out of the top 8?

Have your say as well.

We'd love you to join in the discussion and leave your 2025 predictions on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.

Predictions are now being taken in our 2025 Wests Tigers team discussion thread and we'd love it if you could contribute too!

The Wests Tigers Podcast will return mid-week with a look at the team named for Round One by Benji Marshall, and get ready for the return of Yioti's Quiz for 2025.

Thank you as well for your strong support over the NRL off-season and we look forward to being with you right throughout what is one of the most keenly-anticipated Wests Tigers seasons of all time.
