Wests Tigers Podcast Joel Helmes

As hopes for another season start to fade away during the Month of May, the Wests Tigers Podcast team are back for another mid-week episode. Eddie is joined by Declan and Garry to discuss all the latest news in the world of the Wests Tigers.

With the big news of Isaiah Papali'i being granted permission to talked to other clubs for the 2025 season, the boys discuss the merits of the move for the club. The other news from today was Shane Richardson flying out for England to try and move some of the current roster to open up roster spots and salary cap for season 2025.

Another round of buy, sell or hold is on the Agenda, what curveballs does Eddie have for Declan and Garry this week.

The Pod once again finishes with Yioti's quiz, can you answer the questions the boys miss.

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 Podcast, recorded shortly after the Tigers slumped to their 7th straight loss, Joel Helmes is joined by Declan McCutcheon and Garry Watson.

The boys look at the Dolphins game, trying to find what worked and lament what didn't.

There's also a discussion on where the team is at this point, for example, are we just a terrible team that has no hope, or are there the green shoots there that one of our 'One Word' contributors mentions?

Adam Doueihi is in the news, his possible future at the Wests Tigers is put under the microscope.

And are the Federal Government about to pump $50 million into "saving" Leichhardt Oval? We talk about what that investment might mean for the Wests Tigers.

It's another post-loss edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, but hey, it must be good because we're getting plenty of practice at those at the moment!

The Wests Tigers are back in action in the late game as part of Magic Round on Sunday evening in Brisbane.

It's history repeating itself with the Wests Tigers taking on the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium...for the second time this year!

Let's hope the result is the reversal of the match played earlier in the season. 

Eddie Otto is in the driver's seat for this slightly delayed version of the mid-week podcast. Declan McCutcheon joins Eddie for a look at everything happening in Tiger Town.

The boys discuss the Member's email received after the loss to Newcastle last weekend.

Also on the agenda is the future of Wests Tigers great, Todd Payten. Poor old Todd is in the doldrums up in the far north...do we get home as an assistant coach in 2025?

Eddie has a round of Buy, Sell, or Hold.

Some of the topics include the future of Jayden Sullivan and Adam Doueihi, and ask, would Mika Sivo make a good addition to our club?

There's also a preview of the Dolphins clash and putting your thinking cap on for the latest edition of Yioti's Quiz.

The Wests Tigers Podcast is back for another post-game edition, once again we're discussing a defeat.

Joel Helmes is joined by Eddie Otto and Garry Watson for a look back at the game against the Newcastle Knight in Tamworth.

As usual, there's a heap of One Word descriptions submitted by our fellow fans for that Knights game that we run through, including our own.

We're doing pretty well with our defense (with a few exceptions) but attack and point scoring remains the Wests Tigers' Achilles heel in 2024 (again!).

We take a look at the Tigers attack on this edition of the pod, including a look at how Isaiah Papalli went in his new position of Lock.

There's an analysis of the Jayden Sullivan performance, and naturally Brent Naden gets put under the microscope too.

And Joel, Garry and Eddie give their thoughts on the Member's email sent by the CEO of Wests Tigers, Shane Richardson.

We're on a six-game losing streak but there's still a bit of room for some fun on this big edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.

Ohh and if you're wondering where Joel went mid-show - we can blame that on an electricity Blackout!

On the Midweek Edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast Eddie is joined by Declan and Garry to discuss all thing Wests Tigers.

On the back of the Dean Ritchie article, the boys start by discussing the Positive and Negatives between seasons 2023 and 2024.

Eddie takes us through his favourite game with a segment of Buy, Sell and Hold, topics include Stefano's contract negotiations, a team in Perth and the controversy surrounding last weekend's loss to the Bulldogs.

There is a preview to the Wests Tigers last ever home game in Tamworth, can the Tigers get a win and where are the weaknesses in the lineup Benji Marshall named for the clash against the Newcastle Knights.

Yioti's quiz again rounds out the show with the added segment of Eddie's quiz.

Thank you for joining us once again on the Wests Tigers Podcast.

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

The 22-14 loss marks the club's fifth straight loss and the promising start to the season is starting to look less like it was the turning point we had all hoped for.

On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel Helmes is joined by Steve Stretton, Declan McCutcheon, and Eddie Otto to analyze what went wrong.

We start with some great one-word submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Facebook page, and the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.

Some of the key points point under the microscope by the boys include:


Leadership - the performance of our captain, Bateman
Improved game (generally) from Bula
How we missed Korisau
The lack of impact from Twal and Seyfarth
And we ask, what's wrong with Isaiah?

While there is also a look at the latest, frankly quite sad, comments from the club's former chairman, Lee Hagipantelis.

And Steve has details on the next Ambush event coming up this weekend at Wests Ashfield.
