Wests Tigers Podcast

The 2022 NRL Season is just about to wind up and many Wests Tigers fans might be quite glad to see the full stop put on proceedings. It has been, in many ways, the most trying season in Wests Tigers history. Now, perhaps just to rub a little more salt in the wound, we have to watch our two biggest rivals fight it out in the decider. Penrith and Parramatta, they've both been strugglers at different times, but why is it now they are kicking goals while we are at the other end of the spectrum? Eddie Otto, Garry Watson, and Steve Stretton are on-board for this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast and they try and answer that very question. What can we learn from our Western Sydney rivals? What do we have to do differently? There's also coverage of a story that just won't go away - is Isaiah Papali'i set to muck us around, or will he finally commit to the cause? The boys take a look at the re-signing of Shawn Blore and the rumours that Daine Laurie is only being offered a one-year extension. And there's a reaction to some interesting comments made recently by Robbie Farah, while Eddie has put together this week's quiz.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Any way you cut it, yesterday's final game of the season at Leichhardt Oval was pretty disappointing.

• What went wrong against the Raiders?
• Which area of the Tigers roster needs the most attention?
• We run through the departing players' list

We're nearly there! The final Wests Tigers match for 2022 takes place on Sunday and we finish with the Raiders at Leichhardt. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Eddie Otto, Garry Watson, and Declan McCutcheon preview that Father's Day clash against the green machine. There's also a healthy debate about winning the Wooden Spoon this year, in particular, who or what is to blame? On the signings front, at this stage at least, there's very little to officially report. Though there are a number of players that might be looking for an opportunity with the club. The boys take a look at who and what might be available. There's discussion around the impending loss of Jock Madden, most likely to the Panthers. Is it a good move? Or will we regret losing the young half? Leichhardt Oval is back in the spotlight with the local Council saying they might not allow NRL matches at the ground if an upgrade isn't carried out. What impacts will that have on the Tigers? The boys also put their minds to the test with a big version of Yioti's Quiz! And don't forget to join us Sunday night at 8:30 for a live broadcast on Wests Tigers Radio!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a season that didn't have too many highlights for Wests Tigers fans, the form of Jackson Hastings was a bright spot. Returning to the NRL after a stint in the UK Super League, Hastings played both in the halves and at lock for the Tigers in season 2022. Proving his reputation of being one of the good guys of the game, Jackson gave a big chunk of his time to fans at the latest Ambush event on Sunday at CommBank Stadium. He also made himself available for a wide-ranging interview with Garry Watson. Some of the topics discussed included:

• His future at the Wests Tigers
• An update on his injury recovery
• What he sees Tim Sheens bringing as coach next year
• His time at the Roosters and Manly
• His experiences in the UK
• What went wrong for the Wests Tigers in 2022
• Some thoughts on who our best performers have been
• His favourite Wests Tigers game this season

In a season full of pain, Wests Tigers fans had some more heartbreak yesterday afternoon at CommBank Stadium. After a competitive, if not mistake-riddled performance, Wests Tigers managed to completely self-destruct in the final minutes of the game. The 24-22 loss to the Dragons means the Wests Tigers will definitely finish the season in last place. This edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast is a replay of our Sunday Night Live broadcast on Wests Tigers Radio. We discuss the main talking points from the game, as well as:

• Kimmorley's use of the bench
• Kimmorley's injection of youth into the team under his watch
• Would Jayden Su'a be a good addition to the Wests Tigers side?
• Why the team made so many errors yesterday
• Who should be the backup hooker next year?
• What to do with Zane Musgrove?

We also inject listener comments into the show as well via the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. And listen in for a recap of the last Ambush event of 2022 where Jackson Hastings was a special guest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a slimmed-down Wests Tigers Podcast crew for this edition with Eddie, Steve, and Declan all AWOL. That means it's Joel and Garry for a mid-week look at the latest goings on in Tiger Town. Cameron Munster, he's one of the best players in the NRL and there was a report out yesterday linking us to him on a huge deal. Sure, Tim Sheens has come out and denied he's on our radar, but what would the Storm, Queensland, and Australian five-eight bring to the Tigers? Is he the kind of player that could turn this club's fortunes around? Is he the guy we break the bank for? And is this reason we haven't signed our existing halves beyond next season? Joel and Garry take a deep dive into that. If the reports were true at the time, we only just missed out on signing Tevita Pangai Junior last year. But, now that he may be on his way out of Belmore, is he a guy we should again be trying to add to our squad? TPJ is discussed on this edition of the pod. How about Liam Martin? The Panthers forward is apparently another potential signing target for the Wests Tigers. And he might be broken, but is Andrew Fafita a good candidate for a Wests Tigers homecoming? We look at what could be an impending Wests Tigers clean-out with up to ten players possibly exiting Concord in a fortnight. There's a look at the Wests Tigers team named to take on the Dragons on Sunday. A preview of the Ambus event at CommBank Stadium before that game.

It was a full house for last night's live broadcast on Wests Tigers Radio. Delayed by 24 hours, the live broadcast came in the wake of one of, if not the bleakest night in Wests Tigers history on Saturday. Joel Helmes is joined by Eddie Otto, Steve Stretton, Garry Watson, and Declan McCutcheon to take a look at what went so horribly wrong against the Roosters at the SCG. Some of the key points discussed on the show include:

• Are some Wests Tigers players already on holiday?
• Have these dreadful results tarnished Tim Sheens standing?
• Are there broader cultural issues still at work in the club?
• What is going on with Adam Doueihi?
• Are we any closer to finalizing the makeup of the Wests Tigers halves?
• Why do players fail to improve at Wests Tigers?

There's also a discussion around the James Tamou send-off. On a brighter note, Steve also brings us an update on this weekend's Ambush event, the final Wests Tigers fan gathering for 2022. It's been a tough week, but we hope you enjoy this spirited edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's been no news on the signings front of late, but there's still plenty to discuss on this Wests Tigers Podcast.

Eddie Otto is joined by Declan McCutcheon, Steve Stretton, and Garry Watson for an hour of Wests Tigers goodness.

The boys look at the new Wests Tigers Centre of Excellence that opened this week in Concord.

What will the new home base do for the club and the football team? How much difference might it make to our fortunes moving forward?

There's also discussion around the now infamous Benji Marshall bio plastered on the wall of the new Centre of Excellence.

The boys also shift gears a little and discuss a growing issue in the game - the treatment of players, coaches, and officials in the mainstream media and on social media.

There's a preview of this Saturday night's match against the Roosters.

And Yotti's Quiz tests the brain power and memory of Garry, Steve, and Declan.

We hope you enjoy this big mid-week edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast and don't forget to join us for Sunday Night Live at 8:30 on Sunday night on Wests Tigers Radio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was another frustrating and disappointing outing for the Wests Tigers against the Sharks on Saturday.

On this edition of the podcast, a replay of our live Sunday night broadcast on Wests Tigers Radio, we take a look back at that performance.

Was there anything good to take from it? Or, was it just a game to erase from the memory bank?

And, again, are we any closer to having a clear picture of what our spine/halves should look like next year and beyond?

Joel. Declan and Garry also talk 2023 Wests Tigers recruitment, including the prospect of John Bateman joining the club from Wigan.

Is the former Canberra backrower what we need?

David Nofoaluma looks pretty happy in Melbourne colours, has he played his last game for the Tigers?

There's also a spirited debate between Garry and Declan in relation to the Bulldogs announcing Cameron Ciraldo as head coach for five years.

How much of a better position are the Bulldogs in, compared to the Wests Tigers?

And we take a look at listener questions and comments via the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
