Wests Tigers Podcast

The Wests Tigers might not have got the points against the Raiders yesterday, but the side didn't lose any fans. In what was another close loss, Wests Tigers collected their ninth straight defeat, putting the club on its second-worst-ever losing streak. But were there some glimmers of hope in the 22-18 loss to the Raiders? Eddie Otto, Garry Watson, and special guest host Kelly Hollis pull apart the Tiger's performance in the nation's capital. Some of the key talking points from the match review include:

• The improved performance of Luke Brooks
• David Nofoaluma's 100 tries for the club (but also his recent form)
• Is Jahream Bula starting to feel the grind of the NRL?
• Why do we make so many dumb plays?

And, of course, Eddie, Garry, and Kelly take a look at some of the poor officiating the side was exposed to, including Canberra's two very questionable forward pass tries. Away from the match against Canberra, the guys also take a look at the strongly rumored signing of Jayden Sullivan. Is a four-year deal for the dangerous, but inconsistent young Dragon a good one for the club? And just where do we see him lining up in the Tigers team in 2024? While the guys also take a look over the Wests Tigers NRLW loss to Canberra as well. It's a big edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast after another frustrating day at the office, we still hope you enjoy it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wests Tigers traveled to Tamworth last week and while it looks like another successful trip to regional NSW, the club again failed on the field. Playing against a Souths team looking to get back on track, the Tigers tried hard but our weaknesses were on again on show when the opportunity to achieve success was on offer. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel Helmes, Steve Stretton, and Garry Watson take a closer look back at Friday night's match. Post-match, Tim Sheens said the club still needs to recruit and also needs a bit more experience too, we take a look at the areas of the roster that the Head Coach might be referencing. He also said the team is a two to three-year project - does that mean that there's plenty more pain ahead for Wests Tigers fans? We talk David Nofoaluma and John Bateman and how the experienced pair seem to be struggling in recent times. There's also a discussion around an on-field strategy that seems to not be working for our team - short dropouts! Reports say Shawn Blore might be off to Super League, we give our thoughts on that, as well as linking Payne Haas to the report that the Wests Tigers are targetting a NSW Origin star for 2025 and beyond.

The Wests Tigers continue to splutter and stutter from one crisis to the next - and this coming week looks no different. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Eddie Otto is joined by Steve Stretton for an update on our own petition calling for a thorough external review of the Wests Tigers administration. We thank everyone who has signed that petition and left their comments too - it is both very humbling to see the support, but also an eye-opener regarding just how much frustration and even anger there appears to be in the fan base. If you haven't done so yet, please sign the petition which can be found by following this link. The boys also take a look at what might be unfolding at Concord right now with an emergency meeting being held today to discuss the ongoing issues between Benji Marshall and Scott Fulton (interestingly, Tim Sheens was not invited). Is someone going to be making an exit from the club? What is going to be the circuit breaker here? Eddie and Steve have their say on that. Further to those issues, the boys also take a look at what these ongoing issues could mean not just for future recruitment, but also our current playing squad. There's also a look back at yet another loss, this time the Wests Tigers performance on Friday night against the Newcastle Knights. Steve and Eddie are honest, and fairly angry too, please don't miss this latest edition of the pod! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
