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.

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 Podc...

A tale of two halves - the Wests Tigers have given up an eight-point lead to lose to the Bulldogs at Accor Stadium.

The Wests Tigers' performance against the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium was the very definition of mixed.
