The Wests Tigers have had another year in the headlines with some pretty big changes coming through the club.

Through the challenging times, and the odd glimmer of hope, Wests Tigers fans and members do stick solid.

But sometimes it can be hard to know exactly why and how different decisions have been made, and this often leads to speculation and concern.

Steve Stretton from the Wests Tigers Podcast reached out to Wests Tigers Chair, Lee Hagipantelis with some concerns and questions over an array of different topics.

This led to Lee and Steve sitting down for a wide-ranging discussion, with the Chair happy to have Steve relay the key points from the meeting.

On this special edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Garry Watson and Steve discuss what was said at that meeting, including key topics such as:

• How does the board actually work?
• Clarification of the ownership structure of Wests Tigers
• Is the board divided along old Balmain/Wests lines?
• How much support does Wests Ashfield offer Wests Tigers?
• Is it a conflict of interest that Lee is Chair and major sponsor?
• The coaching changes and how they came about
• Will Isaiah Papali'i be in Tigers colours next year?
• What is the identity of the club moving forward?

We hope you enjoy this special edition version of the pod and that it answers some questions for youSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
