We can't say we didn't have our chances! The Wests Tigers fell to South Sydney on Saturday night by 20 points to 16.

It's been a sad day for Wests Tigers with highly-regarded CEO Shane Richardson walking away from the club. The man they call 'Richo' had been doing a sterling job in getting Wests Tigers back on track and things we're genuinely looking up for 2026. But then that selfish bunch at the Holman Barnes Group decided to pull the rug out from all Wests Tigers fans. We now have no CEO and no Chair. Fans ar...

But what does the signing of the 29-year-old front-rower mean for the 2026 prop rotation, and in particular, for existing impact prop, Royce Hunt? Joel Helmes is joined by Nick Hay...

When Wests Tigers achieved success, we had a mix of youngsters and a sprinkling of older heads to guide them. Are we on the cusp of repeating that in 2026? Do we have a new generation of young talent to come through and make a mark on the  NRL ? We thought we would reach out to a podcast team that has done an excellent job of covering all that's going on through the lower grades at the Wests Tiger...
