Wests Tigers Podcast

Another very disappointing weekend for the Wests Tigers with the side falling well short against the Dragons. That's despite a quite promising start to the game by our guys. But what's come following that Friday night game has been an even more difficult pill to swallow - the reports that two of our best young players want out of the club. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel Helmes, Eddie Otto, and Garry Watson discuss the situation around the future of Lachlan Galvin. Should we be concerned? Is this a Tedesco and Moses situation all over again? Or will Shane Richardson be able to manage the situation? There's also a look at the coach. We hate to see it, but Benji Marshall is increasingly falling under the spotlight as the team records loss after loss. But is Benji actually doing enough work? And what does it look like if we put more support around him? And we bring also you all the one-word responses to Friday night's game against the Dragons from members of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are all threes in the number of this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast...let's hope tonight's game against the Dragons isn't a step towards our third wooden spoon! On this big mid-week edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Eddie Otto and Steve Stretton preview the looming clash with a team that has already beaten us twice this season. But can this new-look Wests Tigers side (due mostly to injuries and suspensions) get one back against the somewhat hot and cold Kogarah side? There's also a round of Buy, Sell, or Hold. And the tables are turned for Yioti's Quiz with Steve becoming the quiz master and Eddie having to come up with the answers. We hope you enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast and hope to return for a big post-victory edition on Monday morning!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is Wests Tigers Bye Week, so we thought we would try something different. Joel, Eddie, Declan and Steve have taken the night off and Garry is joined by Rachel, Jordan and Nick as we give the show over to the listeners in our Bye Week Fan Pod. The crew have a look under the bonnet and conduct a midseason review, Garry introduces a new segment that has the potential to usurp Eddie's favourite segment of Buy, Swap Sell.  A mid-season report card is given for season 2024, what is working, what isn't and what can be fixed for the second half of the season. Each of our guest hosts then give their predictions for the remainder of the season and their feeling around the future direction of the club. Thank you for joining us for the Bye Week Edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wests Tigers are guaranteed to walk away from this weekend's NRL round with a much-needed two points. And, after eight straight losses, Wests Tigers fans also can get a bit of a break! It might be a bye weekend for the Wests Tigers, however, the Wests Tigers Podcast never rests...or even takes a holiday in Fiji :) Eddie Otto is in the host chair, Steve Stretton joins him for a mid-week edition just a little different from the norm. It's mid-season report card time with Eddie and Steve taking a look at the individual performances of a number of Wests Tigers players so far this year. The guys also take a look at who has been our best performer, who is our most improved player, the biggest surprise, and biggest disappointment thus far. And Yioti serves up some brain teasers in his latest Wests Tigers Quiz.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wests Tigers have gone down to the Cowboys in Townsville to mark the side's eighth consecutive loss. But despite the 42-28 loss, are there some real signs of life starting to emerge in this team? Joel Helmes is joined by Eddie Otto, Garry Watson, and Steve Stretton to look at the green shoots that might be starting to show. But it isn't all sunshine and rainbows (as you might expect after eight losses!), there's also a look at the not-so-good aspects of Friday night's performance. There's a whole stack of one-word submissions from the members of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum too.  The boys take a look at the omission of Api Korisau and Stefano Utoikamanu from the first NSW State of Origin side. Ask the question, should the Wests Tigers look at appointing an experienced coach to assist Benji Marshall in 2025 and beyond? Try to work out the real target for CEO Shane Richardson's trip to the UK.  And there's discussion around the potential call-up of young Tiger's prop, Jordan Miller.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As hopes for another season start to fade away during the Month of May, the Wests Tigers Podcast team are back for another mid-week episode. Eddie is joined by Declan and Garry to discuss all the latest news in the world of the Wests Tigers. With the big news of Isaiah Papali'i being granted permission to talked to other clubs for the 2025 season, the boys discuss the merits of the move for the club. The other news from today was Shane Richardson flying out for England to try and move some of the current roster to open up roster spots and salary cap for season 2025. Another round of buy, sell or hold is on the Agenda, what curveballs does Eddie have for Declan and Garry this week. The Pod once again finishes with Yioti's quiz, can you answer the questions the boys miss.

We can thank the 19th Century French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr for the famous saying; “plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose”. Translation; the more things change, the more they stay the same. And that is the perfect summation for our Wests Tigers at the moment - the effort is still there, but the poor discipline and the lousy execution are too. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, recorded shortly after the Tigers slumped to their 7th straight loss, Joel Helmes is joined by Declan McCutcheon and Garry Watson. The boys look at the Dolphins game, trying to find what worked and lament what didn't. There's also a discussion on where the team is at this point, for example, are we just a terrible team that has no hope, or are there the green shoots there that one of our 'One Word' contributors mentions? Adam Doueihi is in the news, his possible future at the Wests Tigers is put under the microscope. And are the Federal Government about to pump $50 million into "saving" Leichhardt Oval? We talk about what that investment might mean for the Wests Tigers. It's another post-loss edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, but hey, it must be good because we're getting plenty of practice at those at the moment!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wests Tigers are back in action in the late game as part of Magic Round on Sunday evening in Brisbane. It's history repeating itself with the Wests Tigers taking on the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium...for the second time this year! Let's hope the result is the reversal of the match played earlier in the season.  Eddie Otto is in the driver's seat for this slightly delayed version of the mid-week podcast. Declan McCutcheon joins Eddie for a look at everything happening in Tiger Town. The boys discuss the Member's email received after the loss to Newcastle last weekend. Also on the agenda is the future of Wests Tigers great, Todd Payten. Poor old Todd is in the doldrums up in the far north...do we get home as an assistant coach in 2025? Eddie has a round of Buy, Sell, or Hold. Some of the topics include the future of Jayden Sullivan and Adam Doueihi, and ask, would Mika Sivo make a good addition to our club? There's also a preview of the Dolphins clash and putting your thinking cap on for the latest edition of Yioti's Quiz.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wests Tigers Podcast is back for another post-game edition, once again we're discussing a defeat. Joel Helmes is joined by Eddie Otto and Garry Watson for a look back at the game against the Newcastle Knight in Tamworth. As usual, there's a heap of One Word descriptions submitted by our fellow fans for that Knights game that we run through, including our own. We're doing pretty well with our defense (with a few exceptions) but attack and point scoring remains the Wests Tigers' Achilles heel in 2024 (again!). We take a look at the Tigers attack on this edition of the pod, including a look at how Isaiah Papalli went in his new position of Lock. There's an analysis of the Jayden Sullivan performance, and naturally Brent Naden gets put under the microscope too. And Joel, Garry and Eddie give their thoughts on the Member's email sent by the CEO of Wests Tigers, Shane Richardson. We're on a six-game losing streak but there's still a bit of room for some fun on this big edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. Ohh and if you're wondering where Joel went mid-show - we can blame that on an electricity Blackout!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
