How good was that!? The Wests Tigers scored a memorable win over the Parramatta Eels at CommBank Stadium yesterday afternoon. The big Easter Monday clash was a real test for our boys, and despite most of the so-called experts writing us off, they responded in the best way possible. On this latest post-victory edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel Helmes is joined by Eddie Otto, Declan McCutcheon, and Garry Watson for a thorough breakdown of the clash with the Eels. Some of the main talking points include:

• The performance of Lachlan Galvin
• The Galvin hip-drop tackle
• Aidan Sezer and the difference he's made to the side
• The super effort of the Wests Tigers forwards
• And the big contribution of Justin Olam

Despite the victory, the boys also look at some areas that could be improved moving forward, and which players might come under some pressure after a big NSW Cup victory as well yesterday. And there's an assessment of where the Wests Tigers might stand compared to some of the other teams in the NRL. It's everything you need in a post-victory podcast, we hope you enjoy it!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been another busy week in Tiger Town and for us here at the Wests Tigers Podcast. With Steve and Garry catching up for a chat with one of the two men who undertook the review into the Wests Tigers, Gary Barnier, and the Tigers not playing until Monday, the mid-week show is out today. On this edition, Eddie Otto and Declan McCutcheon preview the big Easter Monday clash between the Tigers and the Parramatta Eels at CommBank Stadium. Some of the key discussion points on this pod include:

• What do the boys need to do to build on the performance against the Sharks?
• Was that big win another false dawn?
• What key areas do we need to execute to beat the Eels? 

There's also a look at the future of Interim CEO Shane Richardson and what his next moves might be. In particular, are the rumours true that a deal has already been made to move Wests Tigers away from our traditional home grounds? And there's a real Parramatta flavor in Yioti's Quiz. Let's hope for another great Wests Tigers performance on Monday, and then we'll be back either way with a post-game edition on Tuesday morning for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wests Tigers Bonus Episode Gary Barnier Interview. On this special bonus edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Garry Watson and Steve Stretton are joined by Gary Barnier, one of the two people responsible for conducting the review that led to massive changes at the Wests Tigers.

Finally, the guys discuss the recent changes at board level in the Holman Barnes Group and if those changes have any chance of effecting the direction of the club and the implementation of the review's recommendations. What does the new chair of the Holman Barnes Group need to do to ensure the stability of the Wests Tigers?
