WTF – Wests Tigers Faithful

After complaining about WT's Origin curse, the boys process some stats that tell the story of our season so far and give their conclusions on where we're at. Mac watched Cup for the first time in weeks, so we talk about that. We also talk about that loss to Souths.

64-blot. Yuck. We review the game, argue about player development, have a group therapy session with those tuning in live and then preview the Souths game. We may be far too optimistic by the end of it, but it is the way of a Tigers fan. Pathways is brief this week. 

We've won 2 in a row, confidence high... real Tigers fans know we're gonna die. Or will we? Review, preview, pathways. You know the drill. Head to our YouTube to hear Reedie do a Q&A before the pod.

Apologies to the streaming crowd, here's last week's episode discussing the loss v Parra backdated.

Not much else to say. A well-earned win built on effort and desire. We wrap the Cronulla game, preview Magic Round and (briefly) discuss pathways.

Continuing on from the day previous' proceedings, Mac and Reedie discuss Lachlan Galvin and Isaac Moses' motivations for wanting out of Bunji's Rivolushin. We also dissect a very ugly win against Newy in Newy and look ahead to Easter Monday.

A replay of what went down on Monday 14/4 at 4pm.

We review a rather interesting match against the Broncos and discuss what went wrong and what surprisingly went right. A preview of the upcoming Knights game ensues as well as a comprehensive pathways wrap-up.

Title says it all. We lament the week that was for Wests Tigers, the mixed results of their pathways sides and discuss the rumoured contract offer put to one Lachlan Galvin.

It does exactly as it says on the tin. We review and preview every single Wests Tigers-affiliated grade heading into a Round 4 clash against NZ we're cautiously optimistic for. Wishing the Laurie Daley Cup boys good luck in their GF this weekend.

Despite the doubts, nerves and uncertainty in the lead-up, the Wests Tigers did what they usually cannot, and won a game they were expected to win. Reedie and Mac dive deep into the game and discuss what take a long lens to some bigger questions, before previewing the game against the Dolphins this Saturday. There's also a comprehensive reserve grade wrap. Comprehensive is probably an underst...

Reedie is joined by Smelma Bouvier (lung biscuit connoisseur, Joe McCord) to review our Round 1 game against the Knights. Were we that bad? Were we really any good? We don't know, but we try to come to a conclusion.  Reedie didn't want to talk about Lachlan Galvin, but Mac did, so we did that too. We also preview the game against the Eels (danger) and wrap five pathways grades.

It's in the title. Round 1 is here. We run thru the teamlist, preview the game v the Knights, talk about Benji Marshall: The Coach, review Junior Reps and talk about every side in the league to finish. Two more sleeps. Apologies for the end there. You can blame Mac for that one.

Wests Tigers Faithful returns after a week-long hiatus to deliver a spellbinding review on both first grade trials and tries to determine Wests Tigers' playstyle going into the 2025 season. We also look at some Players in Focus, review Junior Reps and provide some brief season previews for each of the teams currently in Sin City.

We sit down with two of our favourites, Tim and Noah Johannssen, about life inside and outside the system that is Wests Tigers. Benji's given us his first team list of the year to review as we preview Trial 1 against the Dogs, and we give the run-down on our Pathways sides and their efforts from the week previous.

Providing unfettered access to Wests Tigers apologists the world over, Joe McCord and Jarrod Reedie have the pleasure of hosting Wests Tigers Player #112 and club Pathways & Recruitment Manager, Shannon Gallant, who provides us with some incredible insights into the world of junior representative football. We also review the week that was for our Harold Matts and SG Ball sides.

Like a front rower in Fat Club during the first week of November, we're rusty and we've sunk too much piss, but we're so back. This episode is saved by an interview with Wests SG Ball Assistant Coach, Mitchell Tyler, who gives us some insight on a special playing group ahead of season 2025. We also dissect everything that happened while we were gone, give unwarranted opinions on man...

Silly season is in full swing evidenced by the fact the lads are recording in person for the first time, hosted by The Edinburgh Castle in the centre of the greatest city in the world. A review of the news cycle evolves into a business-esque SWOT analysis of Wests Tigers and a handful of their competition counterparts. 2024 has been a ride. Thank you to everyone who jumped in and played a part. Se...

The prodigal son returns as Mac's back on the mic, mercilessly turfing Reedie's dad back to listenership. He gives us his thoughts on Terrell May, Fonua Pole and the draw before we talk new jerseys, new sponsors and finally a comprehensive exploration of Wests Tigers' roster, salary cap and positions of interest for the 2026 season. Powered by Pinch Payments. Who else?

In what was probably the biggest week in Wests Tigers folklore since we launched the podcast, Reedie flies solo (for the majority of the episode) to talk thru Terrell May's signing, the retention of Fonua Pole and Sione Fainu, plus the draw. The last few minutes features special guest and good friend of the show, Clayton Reedie. And shoutout Pinch!

Mac and Reedie begin with the breach notices for the Fat Five before discussing the allegedly successful meeting between Wests Tigers powerbrokers and Terrell May. The episode then morphs into a fully fledged pathways discussion that encompasses NSW Cup, Jersey Flegg, SG Ball and Harold Matts. Our very uninformed opinions and clear bias shine through even more than usual. This is the part of the d...

While the rooks get down to training, Reedie and Mac discuss the efforts of our new recruits in 2024, where they fit in the jigsaw that is Wests Tigers, and where the ceiling is at this current time. We also talk new training kit and wrongness of head amongst some of our younger stars among other things. Shoutout Pinch Payments!

Happy NRL New Year. We get right into the weeds of our spine players this year, and remind everyone that we were aware of just how good Lachlan Galvin was as a schoolboy. The boys celebrate the death of the Lee Hagipantelis era and the birth of the Jarome Luai era. Also talk Terrell May and Kobe Hetherington, plus the finalising of our top 30, which had a couple suprises.

Sorry we're late! We continue our deep dive into the season, where we review the "current" outside backs in our squad and look at what's to come.  We also talk the development list, John Bateman (hopefully) to Manly and the bowel troubles of one Charlie Staines. Today's episode is powered by the all conquering Pinch Payments. 

As we reach double figures, Mac and Reedie take a deep dive into the departing and rookie outside backs that took the field for the wonderful (woeful) Wests Tigers in 2024. We also talk breaking news on Adam Doueihi and the ironically titled Awards Night and its subsequent departures list. Same as last week, this is the first instalment of this positional group, with part two to come on Friday. Th...
