There's a whole lot of different Wests Tigers news and issues to discuss on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. With the Wests Tigers season starting in just days, Joel Helmes is in the host seat and is joined by Steve Stretton, Declan McCutcheon, and Garry Watson. First up, one word to describe the arrival into Australia of our new international backrower, John Bateman. There's a look at the side we expect Tim Sheens to name for the round one clash with the Gold Coast Titans at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday evening. We discuss whether trial form will be taken into account when the Head Coach sits down to pick the side and if guys like Asu Kepaoa and Charlie Staines have done enough to win a spot in the NRL side. Just when you thought it was over, Mitchell Moses still appears a chance of leaving Parramatta and signing with the Wests Tigers. We take a look at the latest developments in the long-running saga. There's also a look at the Danny Weidler article around the latest round of infighting at Wests Tigers.  Steve and Garry do battle over the incident that saw the Wests Magpies Chairman Shannon Cavanagh vent his frustration to the CEO of Wests Tigers, Justin Pascoe. And there's an update on the round one Ambush event, our Wests Tigers Podcast Forum tipping comp, and our Geoff Chisholm Player of the Year Award.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
