New South Wales police has decided not to extend restrictions on protests in Sydney, a week after officers and protesters clashed in the city centre.The controversial laws grant police the power to refuse public protests for up to 90 days after a terrorist incident and have been in place since the Bondi attack.The restrictions do not outright ban protests but remove certain legal protections for protesters, particularly those marching through the streets.They've been widely criticised by civil liberty groups and activists.Meanwhile police in Sydney say they're looking for a driver and offender after a former NRL player was seriously injured in a drive-by shooting.Matt Utai's recovering in hospital after the shooting in the suburb of Greenacre.Police say they don't believe he's involved in organised crime, but are still investigating if he was meant to be the target of the shooting.Utai played for Wests Tigers and the Canterbury Bulldogs during his career which included premiership.Highly sensitive Australian court files have been accessed by foreign actors in breach of the law and contract obligations, prompting fears of a national security risk.An ABC investigation found court files have been accessed by contractors based in India, without the knowledge of the courts.Federal Greens senator David Shoebridge says the information in the wrong hands could do incredible damage.The federal court says it's looking into the matter.

Victoria's bracing for extreme fire weather today, as hot, dry, and windy conditions are forecast across the state.Total fire bans have been declared in several districts.Fire chiefs say they're particularly concerned about dry grass in paddocks catching fire in urban fringe areas.Authorities say the state is a tinderbox especially after a very dry January.The opposition is putting pressure on the Albanese Government to block Australian citizens returning home if they've subscribed to the ideology of the Islamic State group.A group of Australian woman who've been stuck in a refugee camp in Syria with their children are trying to come home, raising concerns about whether they pose a threat in Australia.They were married to Islamic State fighters who were captured and killed.The Federal Government isn't going to help them return and if they do they'll face close scrutiny from intelligence and law enforcement agencies.The ABC understands the victim of a drive-by shooting in Sydney's west is former NRL winger Matt Utai.Utai played for the Wests Tigers and Canterbury Bulldogs and is now in a serious condition in hospital.Police say an car was found on fire a short time after the shooting on a nearby street in Greenacre, and detectives believe it's linked to the incident.Utai played 167 games and was part of the premiership winning Bulldogs team in 2004.

The prime minister's confirmed the government will not help repatriate a group of Australian families with links to Islamic state fighters.They've been forced to return to a detention camp in Syria, after trying to journey home.Anthony Albanese's responded to that development, saying "if you make your bed, you lie in it".The issue is a thorny one because the camps are apparently dangerous for families and children, so there's been pressure on the government to help them get out of there.But there are concerns about the risk the group poses to Australia if they return, given their connection to the brutal Islamic State ideology.Former NRL winger Matt Utai is in a serious condition in hospital, after being shot twice in a drive-by shooting in the Sydney suburb of Greenacre.Police say a car was located on fire a short time later on a nearby street, and detectives believe it's linked to the shooting.Utai played 167 games, for the Wests Tigers and Canterbury Bulldogs and was part of the Bulldogs' premiership winning team in 2004.Bree Walker has missed out on the medals in the Women's monobob at the Winter Olympics.Walker was highly favoured heading into the games after five podium finishes this World Cup season but couldn't find the speed required on the track to challenge for a medal.More broadly Australia's in the midst of its greatest Winter Olympics campaign and has been especially successful in moguls skiing. 

The Wests Tigers travelled to Newcastle for the club's first NRL trial of 2026 on Saturday and, despite a shaky start, came away with an impressive 42-26 victory over the Sydney Roosters. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Josh, Declan, and Jordan take a look at what the win means for the club and team for the upcoming season. Fielding a side made up of some of the most promising young players in the club, the performance of guys like Heamasi Makasini, Faaletino Tavana, Javon Andrews, Jared Haywood, and Jack Attard is put under the microscope. Speaking of Tavana, how about that incredible try? We talk about this memorable moment and look at what his future might be in the game. While the boys also look at whether the returning Jock Madden has taken another step to an NRL return with Wests Tigers, debate whether Charlie Murray should be considered for the NRL side in round two, and whether Patrick Herbert did his chances of seeing first grade any harm in a solid first hit-out for the club. There's a run-through of all the 'One Word' responses to the game on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum (thanks to everyone who contributed).Some of the other topics up for discussion included:Was what we saw on Saturday a sign that the club's investment in pathways is starting to pay off?Are we more optimistic about the club's depth for 2026?Is there going to be more competition for spots?Away from the trial game in Newcastle, our attention also turned to Royce Hunt's performance playing for the Maori All Stars this afternoon in New Zealand, as well as giving our thoughts on how the new-look Wests Tigers jersey came across on TV, and naming the thing we are most looking to see in this weekend's NRL trial against the Panthers. It is another big edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. We hope you enjoy a sometimes hard-to-find post-victory edition!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

The Wests Tigers are warmed up and ready to go for season 2026, and the Wests Tigers Podcast will be along for the ride. Ahead of the first Wests Tigers trial of the new season, this Saturday against the Roosters in Newcastle, we thought we'd see what our fellow fans are thinking about a range of Wests Tigers topics.Publishing a fan survey around ten days ago, we received over 200 responses, and we thank everyone who took the time to answer the questions posed. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, the fan survey takes centre stage, with the results put under the microscope, including issues such as Wests Tigers ownership, the new 2026 Wests Tigers jersey, positional weaknesses in the 2026 team, and more.Joining Joel, Nick, and Declan for this deep dive into the data is a new member of the team, Josh Burnell. Also on the agenda of episode 442 of the Wests Tigers Podcast is an opinion put forward by a member of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum, Enumerator. They believe that, with the Wests Tigers having the bye in round one of the 2026 NRL season, Wests Tigers should use this weekend's first trial to get some game time into the legs of our higher-calibre players. Is this a good idea? We chat about that on the pod, but you can also join the discussion today on our forum.A quick-fire round of Buy, Sell or Hold also features. Some of the topics include the chances of the "Train and Trial"-contracted Patrick Herbert getting NRL game time with Wests Tigers this season. Where the Alex's play (Twal and Seyfarth) in round two also comes up for discussion, along with the prospects of a young Wests Tigers player who might have to hit first grade sooner than we might have thought.With the off-season pretty much officially over, and a whole season stretching ahead, we can't wait to share the 2026 season with you on the Wests Tigers Podcast. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

The Junior Representatives kick off this weekend with all four grades in action against the Wests Tigers (or their variant Western Suburbs Magpies) and The Tip Sheet launches the season in grand fashion with a monster podcast that features in-depth breakdowns with special guests Steve Georgallis and AJ Lucantonio. A long overdue catch-up with Steve Georgallis sets the scene as the boys reflect on 2025 results with the Elite Pathways Coaching Director and where the club is positioned across the Lisa Fiaola, Harold Matthews, Tarsha Gale and SG Ball Cups heading into the upcoming season. Steve breaks down the new coaching appointments and the challenges and opportunities facing each squad before providing some NRLW updates to round out the interview. The Tip Sheets goes beyond its regular Blue & Gold boundaries in Junior Reps as AJ Lucantonio (of the sensational League Scene fame) joins the show. AJ, quite literally one of the rising voices in junior pathways, walks the boys through the ever-changing landscape of the junior reps and which squads are set to improve in 2026 as well as who is expected to duke it out for each of the four titles. AJ then helps preview all of the Round 1 action for the Parramatta Eels as they make the trek out to Camden to tackle the Wests Tigers/Magpies in what is set to be a sweltering day of footy.

Happy New Year, Wests Tigers 2026 fans! The Wests Tigers Podcast is relaxed and recharged, ready for a big and enjoyable NRL season.On this edition of the podcast, Joel and Declan discuss all the most recent Wests Tigers News, including a detailed look back at the protest action held in December. This rally was not just a sign of frustration but a testament to the passionate support of the Wests Tigers community, illustrating the deep connection fans have with the team. The Pratten Park rally was a defining moment for the club, showcasing the unwavering dedication of the fans. Despite some individuals attempting to sow division, the collective spirit of the fan base has never been stronger, indicating a hopeful future for the club. Such moments of solidarity remind us that the Wests Tigers are more than just a team; they are a community brought together by a shared passion for rugby league and a commitment to supporting one another.Aside from that action, which we hope we never have to see again (are you paying attention, HBG?), we discuss the ongoing dramas around the Jahream Bula contract situation. His potential departure has raised many questions among fans about the club's strategy and future direction, making this a hot topic ahead of the new season.Rumours just won't go away that the Bulldogs are keen on our young fullback, and that's despite signs of optimism from Wests Tigers management that he would be staying long-term with us. The stakes are high, and fans are eager to see how this will unfold, especially with Bula's talent shining through last season.We discuss some important points regarding the situation, including the implications of Bula's contract on the team dynamics and future performance. His contributions to the squad have been invaluable, and losing him could be a significant setback for our ambitions this season and beyond.Is Bula the guy you break the bank for? With his skill set and on-field performance, many fans believe investing in him is essential for the team's future.Can the new-look Wests Tigers admin afford to lose him? The impacts on team morale and performance could be profound if key players leave.Why did high-touted young fullback Jack Attard come to Wests Tigers on a three-year deal? Also on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, we discuss our 2026 NRL recruits. Of the recruits, including Bunty Afoa, Kai Pearce-Paul, and Ethan Roberts, we name the player that we expect to have the biggest impact on the Wests Tigers team in season 2026. Then there's a round of Buy, Sell, or Hold with topics up for discussion, including:Does the long-term contract for Benji Marshall set him up for success?Will Jack Bird play NRL for Wests Tigers in 2026? Will the Wests Tigers win ten or more games this season? We hope you enjoy this first pod of 2026, and we look forward to talking about everything Wests Tigers right through the season. Let's keep the conversation going! Feel free to join in the discussion today on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. Your insights and opinions are invaluable to the community.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

Well, they've done it again! Just when it felt like the Wests Tigers had turned the corner, here comes the HBG hatchet men!That's right, our old "friends" from the Holman Barnes Group (HBG) have orchestrated their latest power play to again make the Wests Tigers the NRL laughing stocks.After we fought so hard to initiate change at Wests Tigers board level, and based on the advice of an independent governance review, the four independent Wests Tigers board members have been sacked.This includes our chairman, Barry O'Farrell. The HBG, the majority shareholders of Wests Tigers, say their knives were sharpened after the Wests Tigers board didn't adequately communicate with the HBG board, and there was a misalignment between the organisations.We fear, but strongly suspect, the majority orange home jersey selected by Wests Tigers for 2026 and beyond was the tipping point. What a mess!On this emergency edition of the podcast, Joel Helmes is joined by Zac Kels from Tiger Town, and Joe McCord from Wests Tigers Faithful. The boys are showing cross-podcast unity in the face of a really disappointing situation.Topics up for discussion include: Will Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson now resign? How will this latest storm affect player negotiations? What actions can fans take to convey their dissatisfaction? Should, or will, the NRL get involved? Are the HBG moves about deeper issues?We hope you enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, and we welcome your comments on this topic on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

James Graham and Brent Read are in for a full salary cap health check across all 17 NRL clubs. Who’s cashed up? Who’s cap-strapped? And who’s secretly sitting on a war chest for 2026? The boys break down every club’s cap situation, what it means for their future, and which teams are primed to strike in the market.

The TAB has released the official Premiership odds for the 2026 NRL season, and Dean "Bulldog" Ritchie is stunned by the disrespect shown to the South Sydney Rabbitohs. With a roster featuring Latrell Mitchell, Cam Murray, and Jack Wighton, are the Bunnies really $21 outsiders, or is this the bet of the year? In this market breakdown, we analyse every major price for 2026. Bulldog labels the St George Illawarra Dragons as the "bolter" for the Top 8, while delivering a brutal verdict on the Wests Tigers' chances of avoiding another wooden spoon. Plus, we debate the Parramatta Eels' drought-breaking chances under Jason Ryles, whether Manly is a trap at $34 following the DCE exit, and if the Brisbane Broncos deserve to be $5 favourites. We also look at the Warriors, Raiders, and the looming "Spoon Bowl" between the Knights and Titans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 2025-26 Wests Tigers pre-season is just commencing, with players starting to return to training this week. One of the players set to sweat it out at Concord over the summer months is young fullback Jack Attard.Considered the heir apparent to champion Penrith fullback Dylan Edwards, Attard has ditched the Panthers and come across to our club on a three-year deal. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, we dive into what this means for our current fullback Jahream Bula.Bula, managed by Isaac Moses (who has a rocky history with the Wests Tigers), is in the midst of contract negotiations, and there are concerns that he may be heading elsewhere. So, is Attard a contingency? An insurance plan? We take a deep dive into that issue on this edition.Joining Joel on this podcast are the boys from Tiger Town, Zac and Toby, as well as Jordan, Declan, and Nick.Other topics up for debate include the new gear supply deal with Canterbury Sportswear. With Steeden moving on, Canterbury will soon have a new-look Wests Tigers jersey for us, and we've already seen a fresh training shirt look as well. The boys discuss expectations and hopes for the new-look Wests Tigers jersey.Nathan Brown also pops up for a bit of a discussion with reports continuing to link the veteran prop to a farewell season or two with the Tigers.And then we get into the meat and potatoes topic of this podcast - the 2026 Wests Tigers team. With a full house of contributors on board, we look at the contentious selection areas for round one and beyond, including Wing, Lock, Prop, and Bench Utility.There are also a couple of bold predictions, including the potential inclusion of highly touted young Wests Tigers stars, such as Ethan Roberts, Javon Andrews, Phoenix Godinet, and Heamasi Makasini.It's an exciting time to be a Wests Tigers fan!
