Hey, Hey it's Saturday! The post-match edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast is coming to you early this week with a rare Saturday night show. Joel Helmes and Steve Stretton have mustered the energy to spend 50-odd minutes talking about one of the most disappointing nights in Wests Tigers history - last night at Shark Park (Caltex Field? What is it called this week?). On the agenda - the big list of one-word submissions from members of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum (thanks everyone). ...

Once again it is time for the Midweek Pod, this week Eddie is joined by Declan and Garry as they discuss all the latest from the Wests Tigers. The boys give their thoughts on last weekend's loss to the Melbourne Storm, this is followed by a game of Buy, Sell and Hold. Topics include Stefano's contract situation and should Luke Laulilii be the starting winger for season 2025. As Declan was the only one that completed his homework, the boys discuss his preferred lineup for season 2025, where...

The Wests Tigers again fell short on the weekend with a 40 points to 28 loss to the Storm at Leichhardt Oval. But while everyone agrees that it was a game that the Tigers maybe should have, or at least could have won, the performance has left many of us scratching our heads. On the one hand, another 40 points were conceded in a performance that included some frustrating errors, a sin bin, and defensive lapses. Conversely, the guys just scored 28 points against the NRL ladder leaders. So,...

It is time for another Mid-Week Edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, tonight Eddie is joined by Steve and Garry to discuss all the latest news around the Wests Tigers.

The team then takes an in-depth look at Saturday's upcoming match against the Storm at Leichhardt Oval, will any of...

Well, it was good while it lasted, but welcome back to the reality that is rugby league this decade for Wests Tigers fans. The side succumbed to the high-flying Roosters 40-6 at Allianz Stadium on Sunday night. It was a bleak night all around. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, we start with the very many 'One Word' submissions that have come in from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. Joel Helmes, Eddie Otto, and Declan McCutcheon then take a look at what went wrong and why we just...

What is a mid-week Pod without Eddie Otto? Tonight, we find out the answer to that question as Garry takes over the host seat and is joined by Podcast regular Steve and guest contributors Nick and Jordan. The boys start by looking back at the victory against the Canberra Raiders and we get the teams one-word submissions plus a game of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Discussion then shifts to the contract negotiations with Stefano Utoikamanu, will he be at the Tigers in 2025 and who would...

What's this? Two post-victory editions of the Wests Tigers Podcast on successive weekends! The Wests Tigers shrugged off a miserable recent record at Campbelltown Stadium yesterday with an energetic performance to put the Raiders out of commission. Winning 48-24, the Wests Tigers have now won as many games in 2024 as they did in the entire 2022 and 2023 seasons. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, a late shuffle sees Eddie Otto step into the host's chair and is joined by Garry...

Once again it is time for the Mid Week Pod, tonight Eddie is joined by Steve and Garry as they discuss all the latest news at the Wests Tigers. The news surrounding the Adam Adam Doueihi extension and his return from injury opens the show. Do the boys think this was a good signing and where would they play him for the rest of the season and into 2025. We also hear from our listeners thoughts on the topic. After a couple of weeks absence show favourite Buy, Swap and Sell returns, Eddie again...

The discussion then moves to the wider cleanout of the playing roster...

Another very disappointing weekend for the Wests Tigers with the side falling well short against the Dragons. That's despite a quite promising start to the game by our guys. But what's come following that Friday night game has been an even more difficult pill to swallow - the reports that two of our best young players want out of the club. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel Helmes, Eddie Otto, and Garry Watson discuss the situation around the future of Lachlan Galvin. ...

There are all threes in the number of this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast...let's hope tonight's game against the Dragons isn't a step towards our third wooden spoon! On this big mid-week edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Eddie Otto and Steve Stretton preview the looming clash with a team that has already beaten us twice this season. But can this new-look Wests Tigers side (due mostly to injuries and suspensions) get one back against the somewhat hot and cold Kogarah side? There's...

It is Wests Tigers Bye Week, so we thought we would try something different. Joel, Eddie, Declan and Steve have taken the night off and Garry is joined by Rachel, Jordan and Nick as we give the show over to the listeners in our Bye Week Fan Pod. The crew have a look under the bonnet and conduct a midseason review, Garry introduces a new segment that has the potential to usurp Eddie's favourite segment of Buy, Swap Sell.  A mid-season report card is given for season 2024, what is working,...

The Wests Tigers are guaranteed to walk away from this weekend's NRL round with a much-needed two points. And, after eight straight losses, Wests Tigers fans also can get a bit of a break! It might be a bye weekend for the Wests Tigers, however, the Wests Tigers Podcast never rests...or even takes a holiday in Fiji :) Eddie Otto is in the host chair, Steve Stretton joins him for a mid-week edition just a little different from the norm. It's mid-season report card time with Eddie and Steve...

The Wests Tigers have gone down to the Cowboys in Townsville to mark the side's eighth consecutive loss. But despite the 42-28 loss, are there some real signs of life starting to emerge in this team? Joel Helmes is joined by Eddie Otto, Garry Watson, and Steve Stretton to look at the green shoots that might be starting to show. But it isn't all sunshine and rainbows (as you might expect after eight losses!), there's also a look at the not-so-good aspects of Friday night's...

As hopes for another season start to fade away during the Month of May, the Wests Tigers Podcast team are back for another mid-week episode. Eddie is joined by Declan and Garry to discuss all the latest news in the world of the Wests Tigers. With the big news of Isaiah Papali'i being granted permission to talked to other clubs for the 2025 season, the boys discuss the merits of the move for the club. The other news from today was Shane Richardson flying out for England to try and move some...

We can thank the 19th Century French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr for the famous saying; “plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose”. Translation; the more things change, the more they stay the same. And that is the perfect summation for our Wests Tigers at the moment - the effort is still there, but the poor discipline and the lousy execution are too. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, recorded shortly after the Tigers slumped to their 7th straight loss, Joel Helmes is...

The Wests Tigers are back in action in the late game as part of Magic Round on Sunday evening in Brisbane. It's history repeating itself with the Wests Tigers taking on the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium...for the second time this year! Let's hope the result is the reversal of the match played earlier in the season.  Eddie Otto is in the driver's seat for this slightly delayed version of the mid-week podcast. Declan McCutcheon joins Eddie for a look at everything happening in Tiger Town. The...

The Wests Tigers Podcast is back for another post-game edition, once again we're discussing a defeat. Joel Helmes is joined by Eddie Otto and Garry Watson for a look back at the game against the Newcastle Knight in Tamworth. As usual, there's a heap of One Word descriptions submitted by our fellow fans for that Knights game that we run through, including our own. We're doing pretty well with our defense (with a few exceptions) but attack and point scoring remains the Wests Tigers' Achilles...

On the Midweek Edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast Eddie is joined by Declan and Garry to discuss all thing Wests Tigers.

Eddie takes us through his favourite game with a segment of Buy, Sell and Hold, topics include Stefano's contract negotiations, a team in Perth and the controversy surrounding last weekend's loss to the Bulldogs. There is a preview to the Wests...

A tale of two halves - the Wests Tigers have given up an eight-point lead to lose to the Bulldogs at Accor Stadium. The 22-14 loss marks the club's fifth straight loss and the promising start to the season is starting to look less like it was the turning point we had all hoped for. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel Helmes is joined by Steve Stretton, Declan McCutcheon, and Eddie Otto to analyze what went wrong. We start with some great one-word submissions from the Wests...

A fan favourite then returns, with Eddie takes the boys through a...

Another big game at Campbelltown Stadium before a packed house, unfortunately the same result. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast we take a good look at Saturday night's game against the Broncos. We finished on the wrong side of the scoreboard, but were there any positives? We also take a look at some of the ongoing issues we seem to have with the Wests Tigers 2024 squad. And there are heaps of one word submissions from members of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. Joel Helmes is in...

The Wests Tigers Podcast is back for another big mid-week edition with Eddie Otto and Steve Stretton. This show is tinged with a little sadness, the boys pay tribute to one of the founding members of the Wests Tigers family - Terry Hill. Wests Tiger number 4, Hill passed away yesterday, ironically in the same week that the Tigers wear our heritage Year 2000 jersey to commemorate the first-ever Wests Tigers game. Once again it's the Broncos at Campbelltown, and just like that game in 2000,...

The Wests Tigers were better, but ultimately couldn't quite get the job done against the Panthers on Saturday afternoon. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast things are a little different. Firstly, it's back to the old line-up, just Joel Helmes and Eddie Otto. Secondly, there's a fantastic segment in the pod where we hear from the good people who joined us for the coach trip to Bathurst. So, there's plenty of one-word submissions to consider, and lots of commentary around what was...
