  • Wests Tigers Brave In Raiders Showdown

    Wests Tigers Brave In Raiders Showdown
    Aug 31 2025
    It wasn't a win, but the Wests Tigers lost no friends on Saturday afternoon in Canberra. The GIO Stadium clash ended up being a 24-10 win for the Raiders, who also wrapped up the Minor Premiership on the day.

    For Wests Tigers, though, our performance had most fans convinced this team is heading for bigger and better things in 2026 and beyond. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Zac, and Declan take a look at many positive aspects of the Tigers' performance.

    Some of those positives include the way the forward pack muscled up against what is arguably the best pack in the game at present. The at times quite sharp attack, our lethal left edge, and determined defence that mostly kept our top-placed opposition at bay.

    A couple of things that weren't so positive are also up for debate on this edition, including the second-half refereeing performance, aspects of our kicking game, and the Wests Tigers bench.

    A varied array of One Word submissions on this Wests Tigers podcast. Some of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum 'One Word' submissions this week included: Seven, Effort, Proud, and Fate. As always, thanks for all the contributions!

    The boys also look at what the spirited effort on Saturday shows us regarding team harmony and attitude. It is easy to see that our side has gelled more as the season has gone on, and this is a stark contrast to what we have seen in recent years.

    Some of the other talking points include the performance of Fonua Pole, Alex Twal, and Latu Fainu.

    Unfortunately, Jeral Skelton may have played his last game of 2025, and we discuss whether that opens the door for a debut by Haemasi Makasini against the Gold Coast Titans.

    It is a post-loss edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, yet things do seem different after a spirited and mostly quite slick performance from the boys. We hope you enjoy this edition of the podcast, and don't miss the big mid-week show with a preview of our last game of the season.

  • Wests Tigers Prep For Major Canberra Test

    Wests Tigers Prep For Major Canberra Test
    Aug 27 2025
    There are just two games to go before the Wests Tigers enter another off-season, but it's hoped our team finishes on a high.

    After a narrow loss to the Cowboys last weekend, Wests Tigers have a horror road trip to Canberra to face the high-flying Raiders.On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Eddie is joined by Nick for a look at our chances against a side looking towards the finals and their top-four finish.

    Is this a good time to play the 'Green Machine'? Or will Canberra use this game to make a statement to their premiership rivals? Eddie and Nick discuss the potential outcomes, including what attitude the Wests Tigers are likely to bring to the Saturday afternoon clash in the nation's capital. There's also a more analytical look back at the game against the Cowboys on this edition of the podcast.

    Have the Wests Tigers improved? We discuss that on this Wests Tigers Podcast. Nick brings up the 'Richo Meter' with the guys working to ascertain where the team currently sits on that five-level meter of progress and performance.

    The big announcement made at that game also features on the run sheet, with the boys having their say on the funding packages confirmed for our two suburban home grounds - Leichhardt Oval and Campbelltown Stadium.

    While Yioti has brought some brain-teasing Wests Tigers trivia, which includes questions on the Tigers and the Raiders, Scott Prince, and there is a top-level 'Who Am I' which identifies a player many had high hopes for!

    Don't forget to join the Wests Tigers discussion on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum, including signings and suggestions, and game day threads.

    Enjoy this big Wests Tigers Podcast with Nick and Eddie, and we look forward to bringing you the post-match edition of the podcast on Monday morning.

  • Wests Tigers Go Close But Spill Lollies Against Cowboys

    Wests Tigers Go Close But Spill Lollies Against Cowboys
    Aug 25 2025
    It was a memorable afternoon with the Wests Tigers showing how far the team has come in the past 12 months. But, sadly, in 15 minutes, the Cowboys managed to wrestle the game away from us at a sold-out Leichhardt Oval.

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Nick, Zac, and Jordan to look back at the many highs and lows of Sunday afternoon's game. Yes, of course, Jordan contemplates whether he has put a curse on the club after so confidently tipping the boys to win three straight games last year.

    Well, it's now the end of 2025, and that mini streak still hasn't happened. With only two games left in the 2025 season for the Wests Tigers, we will have to wait until next year! See what Jordan has to say for himself on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.

    Some other talking points from the 6-point loss to the Cowboys include:
    • Why do we tend to struggle in big event games?
    • How much of an impact was it losing Adam Doueihi to injury?
    • How the Cowboys showed up to play
    • Our continued struggle in the red zone with our attack
    Some of the key moments from the game are also up for discussion, including the remarkable Wests Tigers try that was so akin to Pat Richards' Grand Final try twenty years earlier. There's a discussion about the continued impressive performance of Taylan May, the 'Rocks and Diamonds' that is Brent Naden, and concerns about our lack of bench strength as well.

    As always, heaps of Wests Tigers Podcast Forum 'One Word' submissions feature as well, and we take a look at the big news that the club has secured tens of millions of dollars in funding for an upgrade of Campbelltown Stadium.

    It's not a post-victory edition of the pod, but we hope you enjoy our take on an afternoon at Leichhardt that was oh so close to being a classic!

  • That's Two! Wests Tigers Trump Manly To Keep Trifecta Alive

    That's Two! Wests Tigers Trump Manly To Keep Trifecta Alive
    Aug 17 2025
    We've been here before, fourteen times, but the Wests Tigers are again on the verge of winning three games straight.

    Sure, we've picked up two points three weekends straight and won three out of our last four games, but that elusive trifecta remains to be achieved.

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Zac, Nick, and Declan for a review of the 26-12 victory over the Sea Eagles.

    Some of the main talking points on the podcast include how the side managed to win back momentum after a shaky start.

    The form of Luai and Doueihi in the halves, and what these performances mean for halves make-up in 2026. Some of the other individual performances in the Wests Tigers' latest victory that are looked at include Taylan May, Sione Fainu, and Alex Twal.

    Starford To'a looks to have finally succumbed to that shoulder injury. Does that mean Heamasi Makasini makes his debut this weekend? IF not, who might get that right centre spot?

    The boys also chat about what could be a grand final-like atmosphere at Leichhardt Oval this Sunday afternoon!

    There is also an analysis of where the team is on the"Richo Meter". Are we finally at a good, solid average level? Speaking of Richo, all senior grades achieved victories this weekend, a great achievement, and we give a round of applause to the people who are turning our club around.

    There's also a look at an upcoming edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast with a key focus on the next generation of Wests Tigers talent coming through. While Jack Bird also pops up on the agenda with a look at his time with the Wests Tigers, and the reports that he is unwanted by the club for season 2026 (the second year of his two-year deal).

    And, of course, there is a mountain of 'One Word' submissions from the ever-growing Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.

    We hope you enjoy ANOTHER post-victory edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast!
