Wests Tigers Podcast

The Wests Tigers can't show up with the same attitude that they had last week against the Dragons, surely? It's going to be  a big task at Campbelltown Stadium on Friday night against the New Zealand Warriors . Despite the visitors sitting in a lofty position on the NRL ladder, some optimism is bubbling to the surface among a couple of members of the Wests Tigers Podcast team. Some of the other ma...

It can be a hard run following a football team, but we can't help but think that sometimes it's just that bit tougher being a Tiger.  The 24-10 loss to the Dragons on Saturday afternoon has been described by some Wests Tigers fans as a new low for the club. That's a big call after three straight wooden spoons and a few record floggings in recent years. Nevertheless, losing to a team that has won o...

The Tigers head into another crucial clash at Kogarah on Saturday, and there's plenty to unpack! This time on the Wests Tigers Podcast , we discuss Luke Laulili'i's confirmed move to the Warriors for the rest of the season and debate whether the talented young winger will be a big loss for the club. Nick, Josh and Jordan also react to Junior Tupou earning another opportunity at the Wests Tigers ,...

The Wests Tigers have fumbled and bumbled their way to a six-point loss against the Knights in Newcastle. With the home side seemingly begging to be beaten, Wests Tigers failed to take any second-half opportunities and came away with a win that probably puts a full stop on our finals hopes for yet another season. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast , Joel and Nick do a post-mortem on a ble...

Thanks for finding the latest edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast! Joel joins Nick and the returning Mitch Wright for another big episode as we break down all the latest Wests Tigers news heading into a crucial stage of the season. We discuss the club's major roster moves, including  the signing of Jake Averillo on a four-year deal and the early departure of Starford To'a to Manly. The boys also t...

Wests Tigers have again suffered injuries, with another two players set to miss game time, a theme that has run through so much of this season. Kicking off the season in such style, almost every match that the  Wests Tigers have played this season has seen at least one key player come away injured, and this seems to be the primary reason why missing the finals again looks a real chance. Is it simp...

The Wests Tigers Podcast returns with Episode 473 as Nick is joined by Josh and Aaron for a big discussion covering State of Origin II, the latest Tigers news, and this weekend's clash against the Dolphins. Aaron was at the MCG for Origin II and gives us his firsthand account of the atmosphere and experience as QLD squared the series. We also discuss Laurie Daley's controversial decision to leave...

The Wests Tigers had a few heart-in-mouth moments and almost succumbed to some classy Titans plays, but managed to hold on for an eight-point win at Leichhardt Oval this afternoon. Playing our last game at the “Eighth Wonder of the World”, the good guys gave up an early 12-point lead but came home strongly in a determined effort.   On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Josh and Nick w...

This is it, folks, the Wests Tigers' do-or-die moment taking on the Gold Coast at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday afternoon. Both teams have just won one of their past five matches, and the Titans are looking for just their fourth win of the season, but with a winning track record against the Tigers will fancy their chances. On this edition of the  Wests Tigers Podcast , Joel, Nick and Josh are joined b...

It was an afternoon we'd all like to forget at CommBank Stadium, with the Wests Tigers proving little more than cannon fodder against a white-hot Panthers. Losing 68-nil is about as low as it gets for an NRL fan, but despite the awful afternoon, we thought we might try and make some sense of the events in Parramatta. So, this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast is a little different: it's just Joe...

Over the past 12 months, Wests Tigers has achieved a feat that is more than admirable - a 50% win record. But while that's a really solid base to build on, what exactly do we need to do to take a big step up to being a team that wins most weeks? On this big midweek edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast , Joel is joined by Nick, Josh and Jordan to discuss that very topic. Each of the boys gives their...

The Wests Tigers found a way to win in a gritty and determined display against the Bulldogs on Saturday evening. Coming off three straight losses and a horror run with injuries and a key suspension,  Wests Tigers got away with a 22-16 win to take the side to 16 competition points. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Josh and Nick first discuss some breaking news -  reports that we'r...

Episode 467 of the Wests Tigers Podcast, with Nick joined by Jordan for our midweek show! We kick things off with a quick recap of our Sunday night pod before chatting about Jordan’s upcoming trip to Vegas to watch the Wests Tigers take on the Storm. We recap the Connor Watson rumours and get Jordan's thoughts on whether the experienced utility could be a smart short-term fit for the club in 2027....

The Wests Tigers (and us fans) have enjoyed a much-needed weekend off, and with this comes a great chance to deliver our mid-year report card. On this edition of the  Wests Tigers Podcast , Joel, Josh, and Nick come up with their own individual take on several aspects of the season so far. These include: Biggest surprise? Biggest frustration? What needs fixing in the short and medium term? And we...

It's not easy being green, well, we reckon sometimes it's harder being our famous colours! The Wests Tigers slumped to a third straight loss at the weekend, this time  outclassed by Manly in Magic Round by 46-18 . In a team full of guys that try hard, but just don't have the size, speed, and class of the guys they are deputising for, Manly probably outplayed the Tigers in every aspect.  On this ed...

Thanks for finding the latest edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast! This time, Nick and Joel are joined by Jordan, who returns from the wilderness just in time to unpack the brutal Storm loss… but there’s finally some HUGE contract news to celebrate. Winger Sunia Turuva has extended his stay with the club until 2030 . We discuss just how much of a recruitment win this is for the club. Yes, that now...

Well, it happened again. Wests Tigers managed to help a struggling rival find some form, and in the meantime, our promising start to the season is starting to look shaky. Sure, we're missing some of our best players, but are we on that traditional slip 'N' slide down the ladder to our customary "also ran" level? On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast , Joel, Nick, and Josh take a look at whet...

Nick does his best to turn his frown upside down! On episode 462 of the Wests Tigers Podcast, we cover one of the biggest news story weeks the club has had in a long time… and there’s plenty to unpack. We kick things off by welcoming Joel, Josh & Aaron before diving straight into the big one - Jahream Bula commits until 2030. What it means for the future of the club, and why this deal feels di...

Wests Tigers' 2026 season is at a key juncture. Are we slip-slidin' down the ladder, or was Sunday afternoon a bump in the road?  Succumbing 52-10 against a Sharks team that has been struggling for form , Wests Tigers fans have every right to feel dejected. But, with several key men out, or failing even to finish that game through injury, are things as bad as they seem? Was it a true reflection of...

Yes, it's a bit disappointing, but surely freeing up a heap of cap space can only be good news for Wests Tigers? That's the basic position we tend to agree upon on this edition of the  Wests Tigers Podcast , following the news that Jarome Luai would link with PNG in 2028 . With Nick in the host's seat, Joel, Josh, and guest panelist Aaron discuss all the many factors surrounding the exit of one of...

The Wests Tigers racked up their fifth win of the season on Thursday night, beating the Raiders 33-14 in front of just over 17,000 fans. In what was another memorable game for the club, the Tigers didn't concede a point with all thirteen men on the field, only a sin-bin to Api Koroisau gave Canberra a chance. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Jordan, and Declan are joined by Mac f...

We are back for another mid-week edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast! Nick is joined by Joel, Josh, Jordan, and special guest Justin (a Raiders man) to break down everything ahead of  the Wests Tigers v Raiders at Leichhardt Oval on Thursday night . We kick things off with some classic clashes between the two sides: The freezing 2000 snow game in Canberra The 2010 finals thriller (yes… that Croker...

It was a huge night at Campbelltown Stadium with a sell-out crowd desperately trying to get Wests Tigers across the line. But, with a fourth straight win on the line,  Wests Tigers couldn't get the job done against an injury-ravaged Brisbane Broncos , going down 21-20. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast , Joel, Nick, and Josh pull apart the good, the bad, and the ugly from the Tigers' per...

Episode 456 of the Wests Tigers Podcast is ready to go! Nick Hayes is in the hosting seat alongside Jordan and Josh to break down a massive Sunday afternoon at Campbelltown, where the Tigers delivered a statement win over the Knights. We debut TWO brand new segments this week: Did You Know / Nick’s Fun Facts — including some eye-opening stats about where this season is already tracking compared to...

After seventeen attempts, Wests Tigers have finally won three straight NRL games again. This is a feat we haven't achieved for about eight years, and we did it in style,  beating the high-flying Newcastle 42-22 .  No one is more pleased about the three-in-a-row achievement than our own Jordan Prime. Jordan has been carrying that monkey on his back for a few years now, and he pops up on this editio...
