The Wests Tigers managed to make a meal of 'Spoonbowl' 2024, but we think most of our fellow fans weren't overly surprised. With a chance to discard the Wooden Spoon, Wests Tigers put in one of their worst performances of the year to go down 60-26 against the Eels. But does it matter if you finish 16th or 17th? Wests Tigers 2025 recruit Jack Bird (though still not confirmed as a signing by the club at the time of writing) has said missing the finals is a failure and worrying about positions from there is pointless. We start this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast with a debate about Jack's position on table positions for non-semi-final teams, and look at whether it really matters if we have the spoon three-peat. Also on the agenda, how do we fix our defense in 2025? After conceding a massive 750 points this year, is John Morris the man to turn this around? Speaking of recruits, we also discuss the probable recruitment of Warrior's winger, Marcelo Montoya, and look at who else might be heading our way for a new-look side next year. There's a whole stack of 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum, including submissions looking to sum up the 2024 season with just a single word. We're slowly packing up and moving on from season 2024 with an increasing view towards a hopefully much more enjoyable 2025! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
