What went wrong? That's a question that dominates this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast! The Wests Tigers put in another strong performance on Saturday evening...for about sixty minutes, eventually succumbing to the Titans 36-28.

On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Nick, Declan, and Zac for a deep dive into the highs and lows of the Gold Coast game. There were some positives, including some flashy attacking play and some good individual performances as well. But, just like the Canberra and Cowboys games, the boys just couldn't match it with the opposition when the whips started cracking towards the end of the game.

How can we change this next year? How can we make our right edge more reliable in defence? And have we signed enough quality players to turn this around in 2026?

How about the young winger? One highlight from the game was the debut of Heamasi Makasini, the young Tiger proved he didn't look out of place in the NRL. We talk about how we fit the youngster into the team next year.

There's also a strong list of 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. And a big thank you to all the forum members who contributed right through 2025!

Joel finishes this podcast with some rapid-fire questions, including: Was the season a success or a failure? And are we better placed than we were a year ago?

It's really disappointing that the team didn't manage to put a more enjoyable full stop on the season, but we hope you still enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. And stay tuned for more Wests Tigers content in the coming weeks, and right across the NRL off-season as well.

As always, thank you for your support, and fingers crossed for a bigger and better 2026 for the Wests Tigers!
