A special edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast - today we bring you an interview with a key member of Wests Tiger admin, Matthew Betsey. Matthew is the Head of Pathways at Wests Tigers, a role that sees the former Cricket Australia Coaching and Development Manager overseeing our club's pathways and junior development - taking youngsters and helping them achieve their NRL dreams. Appointed to the role a little over a year ago, Matthew has been implementing a number of changes in the way the club nurtures and develops young talent. Interviewed by our own Garry Watson at the Ambush event preceding the match against the Storm on Saturday evening, some of the topics covered in this interview include:

• What does it mean to be a 'Development Club'?
• What are some of the main challenges facing the club in this space?
• How do we compare to other NRL clubs in terms of junior development and pathways?
• What will the Player Academy/Centre of Excellence in Campbelltown bring?
