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 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 Wests Tigers need to play finals football in 2026; it's as simple as that. But what does the club need to do on the field to make that happen?

Joel Helmes and Nick Hayes suggest improvements that should and could be made in important aspects, such as bench rotations and impact.We also identify consistency in the halves and arrest a worrying trend that has crept into many failed or frustrating Wests Tigers seasons, a long mid-season run of outs!Watch or listen to this edition to see what else the club needs to do to see finals footy once again, finally!What has us worried heading into the 2026 NRL season? Joel and Nick also list a few factors that have them concerned at this point in the Wests Tigers' preseason.

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!

The preseason hurtles towards us with the first action arriving with the turn to Summer in less than a week. The Tip Sheet rumbles on in the wake of it all as Sixties and Forty20 gas bag on about the latest from Parradise and the NRL. Speaking of, the Eels have launched a new institute focused on aligning the club with an educational pathway that runs parallel to the code. What does it all mean for the club and the community? Sixties brings the latest mail from recruitment and retention while Junior Paulo terrorised Tonga on the weekend. PVL has hinted at ambitious global plans for the code - how far does he plan to spread rugby league? The prelude to a potential market frenzy took place today with South Sydney, Manly and the Wests Tigers all involved in a complicated multi-player transaction. Finally, the boys review the weekend representative action including Australia's victory over the Poms.

The boys are back for another episode of The Journos! Adam Peacock is joined by Michael Chammas and Danny Weidler! Chammas was just in Papua New Guinea for the Prime Minister's XIII game and explains the NRL's and the local government's plans for how they will accommodate players and their families. It's much grander than you think! Whilst Chammas goes into detail at how much money the players will be making... and guess what?... It's a lot more than you think!!! The Ashes are right around the corner and neither Chammy or Weidler are keen to spend a month on tour together! Willie Peters is the name on everyone's lips! So when do we expect him to be in the NRL? Jarome Luai's already playing some mind games with the Wests Tigers around his contract clauses but could the club also be forced to part ways with young gun Jahream Bula? The Dragons had the feel good story of 2025 with Cody Ramsey, who dodged potential death to get his career back on track! But the homegrown talent rejected the club to stay to sign with the Sydney Roosters... how did that even happen? Weidler revealed his list of awards for 2025 but the other boys give him a hard time for his efforts in trying to be an AFL reporter earlier in the week! Stay in your lane Mr. Weidler.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wests Tigers have signed New Zealand Warriors cult player, Bunty Afoa. Always a strong performer when playing against our club, Afoa is coming across the ditch on a one-year deal with Wests Tigers for season 2026.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 Hayes and Declan McCutcheon on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast to discuss the signing of Afoa and make some predictions around the impacts in 2026 on Hunt, Pole, Sione Fainu, and Twal.Another "off the back fence" type prop has also been linked to the Wests Tigers in recent times, Nathan Brown. Brown, who debuted with the Wests Tigers way back in 2013, could be heading back to the club as a swap for Jack Bird. Is this a good move? Does the Afoa signing put an end to this deal? And what do we expect from Jack Bird next year if he remains with the club?Also on the agenda of this off-season edition of the podcast is the announcement that Terrell May has won the 2025 Kelly-Barnes Award. The boys discuss the reasons why May was the standout for the award, but a few other potential winners also get a mention. There's also a look at what we might get from the 2025 Rookie of the Year, Tony Sukkar, in 2026.Lastly, the Wests Tigers bus has made a stop and let a few guys off. Staines, Feledy, Matamua, etc, didn't come as a great surprise. However, there was one name on the departing players list that we might not have seen coming: Brent Naden. We take a look at the reasons why Brent was put through the shredder and what that might mean for our backline next year.As the weather starts to heat up and the countdown to the start of pre-season training commences, we hope you enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. And don't forget that you are always welcome to join the conversation and engage with other Wests Tigers fans on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

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 Tigers, the Wests Tigers Faithful podcast.On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Joe McCord (aka 'Mac') from Wests Tigers Faithful for a chat. Mac has identified five young players in the Wests Tigers system that he believes are standouts and gives us a rundown on what we might get from names like Phoenix Godinet, Logan Brookes, and Jarod Haywood in the coming years.He even believes at least one of the five players he has named will debut for the club in season 2026. One of the five in particular has Mac really excited, reminding him of a former young Wests Tigers star many of us have fond memories of.It's not just homegrown talent that looks promising. Mac also gives us a rundown on what we might get from Brisbane recruit, Javon Andrews, and the young Rooster coming across to our club, Ethan Roberts.Joel and Mac also discuss the recent announcement that Taylan May has re-signed with the club for two more seasons, and Mac gives his thoughts on how the season ended for the team. While he also makes a really interesting observation around why the Wests Tigers struggled at times this year, and it's a point, and a statistic that hasn't widely been discussed.We hope you enjoy this latest cross-podcast collaboration, and we hope to hear more insights about the young Wests Tigers players from Wests Tigers Faithful in 2026.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

What went wrong? That's a question that dominates this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast! The Wests Tigers put in another strong performance on Saturday evening...for about sixty minutes, eventually succumbing to the Titans 36-28.On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Nick, Declan, and Zac for a deep dive into the highs and lows of the Gold Coast game. There were some positives, including some flashy attacking play and some good individual performances as well. But, just like the Canberra and Cowboys games, the boys just couldn't match it with the opposition when the whips started cracking towards the end of the game.How can we change this next year? How can we make our right edge more reliable in defence? And have we signed enough quality players to turn this around in 2026?How about the young winger? One highlight from the game was the debut of Heamasi Makasini, the young Tiger proved he didn't look out of place in the NRL. We talk about how we fit the youngster into the team next year.There's also a strong list of 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. And a big thank you to all the forum members who contributed right through 2025!Joel finishes this podcast with some rapid-fire questions, including: Was the season a success or a failure? And are we better placed than we were a year ago?It's really disappointing that the team didn't manage to put a more enjoyable full stop on the season, but we hope you still enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. And stay tuned for more Wests Tigers content in the coming weeks, and right across the NRL off-season as well.As always, thank you for your support, and fingers crossed for a bigger and better 2026 for the Wests Tigers!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

Wests Tigers travel to the Gold Coast tomorrow to face the Titans in a game that could have significant ramifications on both teams' ladder positions. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Eddie and Steve discuss the importance of putting in a respectable effort in the Tigers' last run of the year.A team that we've traditionally had trouble getting on top of, the boys look at what it will take to come away from the holiday strip with the two points.Also on this edition of the podcast, Eddie brings out a strong list of questions for a round of Buy, Sell, Hold, including topics such as the 2026 Wests Tigers coaching team. One recently dumped NRL coach also gets a mention, with Eddie tossing up Adam O'Brien as someone who might be a good addition to the club's coaching ranks.Heamasi Makasini will become Wests Tigers player number 303 when he debuts this weekend against the Titans. The boys look at what he might bring in game number one.Some chat about Wests Tigers' 2025 Player of the Year also features on the pod. And Yioti's Quiz is also ready to go, with our quiz master coming up with a question regarding a very memorable moment in a Wests Tigers v Gold Coast Titans game way back in 2010! He's also found a player who was with our club for an extended period, but only managed a handful of games.We hope you enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.

It wasn't a win, but the Wests Tigers lost no friends on Saturday afternoon in Canberra. The GIO Stadium clash ended up being a 24-10 win for the Raiders, who also wrapped up the Minor Premiership on the day.For Wests Tigers, though, our performance had most fans convinced this team is heading for bigger and better things in 2026 and beyond. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Zac, and Declan take a look at many positive aspects of the Tigers' performance.Some of those positives include the way the forward pack muscled up against what is arguably the best pack in the game at present. The at times quite sharp attack, our lethal left edge, and determined defence that mostly kept our top-placed opposition at bay.A couple of things that weren't so positive are also up for debate on this edition, including the second-half refereeing performance, aspects of our kicking game, and the Wests Tigers bench.A varied array of One Word submissions on this Wests Tigers podcast. Some of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum 'One Word' submissions this week included: Seven, Effort, Proud, and Fate. As always, thanks for all the contributions!The boys also look at what the spirited effort on Saturday shows us regarding team harmony and attitude. It is easy to see that our side has gelled more as the season has gone on, and this is a stark contrast to what we have seen in recent years.Some of the other talking points include the performance of Fonua Pole, Alex Twal, and Latu Fainu.Unfortunately, Jeral Skelton may have played his last game of 2025, and we discuss whether that opens the door for a debut by Haemasi Makasini against the Gold Coast Titans. It is a post-loss edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, yet things do seem different after a spirited and mostly quite slick performance from the boys. We hope you enjoy this edition of the podcast, and don't miss the big mid-week show with a preview of our last game of the season.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.
There are just two games to go before the Wests Tigers enter another off-season, but it's hoped our team finishes on a high.After a narrow loss to the Cowboys last weekend, Wests Tigers have a horror road trip to Canberra to face the high-flying Raiders.On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Eddie is joined by Nick for a look at our chances against a side looking towards the finals and their top-four finish.Is this a good time to play the 'Green Machine'? Or will Canberra use this game to make a statement to their premiership rivals? Eddie and Nick discuss the potential outcomes, including what attitude the Wests Tigers are likely to bring to the Saturday afternoon clash in the nation's capital. There's also a more analytical look back at the game against the Cowboys on this edition of the podcast.Have the Wests Tigers improved? We discuss that on this Wests Tigers Podcast. Nick brings up the 'Richo Meter' with the guys working to ascertain where the team currently sits on that five-level meter of progress and performance.The big announcement made at that game also features on the run sheet, with the boys having their say on the funding packages confirmed for our two suburban home grounds - Leichhardt Oval and Campbelltown Stadium.While Yioti has brought some brain-teasing Wests Tigers trivia, which includes questions on the Tigers and the Raiders, Scott Prince, and there is a top-level 'Who Am I' which identifies a player many had high hopes for!Don't forget to join the Wests Tigers discussion on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum, including signings and suggestions, and game day threads.Enjoy this big Wests Tigers Podcast with Nick and Eddie, and we look forward to bringing you the post-match edition of the podcast on Monday morning.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

It was a memorable afternoon with the Wests Tigers showing how far the team has come in the past 12 months. But, sadly, in 15 minutes, the Cowboys managed to wrestle the game away from us at a sold-out Leichhardt Oval.On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Nick, Zac, and Jordan to look back at the many highs and lows of Sunday afternoon's game. Yes, of course, Jordan contemplates whether he has put a curse on the club after so confidently tipping the boys to win three straight games last year.Well, it's now the end of 2025, and that mini streak still hasn't happened. With only two games left in the 2025 season for the Wests Tigers, we will have to wait until next year! See what Jordan has to say for himself on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.Some other talking points from the 6-point loss to the Cowboys include:Why do we tend to struggle in big event games?How much of an impact was it losing Adam Doueihi to injury?How the Cowboys showed up to playOur continued struggle in the red zone with our attackSome of the key moments from the game are also up for discussion, including the remarkable Wests Tigers try that was so akin to Pat Richards' Grand Final try twenty years earlier. There's a discussion about the continued impressive performance of Taylan May, the 'Rocks and Diamonds' that is Brent Naden, and concerns about our lack of bench strength as well.As always, heaps of Wests Tigers Podcast Forum 'One Word' submissions feature as well, and we take a look at the big news that the club has secured tens of millions of dollars in funding for an upgrade of Campbelltown Stadium.It's not a post-victory edition of the pod, but we hope you enjoy our take on an afternoon at Leichhardt that was oh so close to being a classic!
