    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!

    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.

    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.

    Eddie, Declan and Garry then discuss the potential makeup of the Wests Tigers starting side in the year 2027, where will Latu Fainu and Lachlan Galvin fit in, and which other players can make the step up in the next 3 years?

    A fan favourite then returns, with Eddie takes the boys through a game of Buy, Sell, Hold.

    Attention then turns to Saturday's clash with the Bulldogs with an indepth preview of the key match ups heading into Round 9.

    Finally, Yioti once again challenges the team knowledge in Yioti's Quiz, can Eddie avoid the ire of the quizmaster in this week's episode.

    Thank you for joining us as the team discuss everything Wests Tigers.

    Another big game at Campbelltown Stadium before a packed house, unfortunately the same result.

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast we take a good look at Saturday night's game against the Broncos.

    We finished on the wrong side of the scoreboard, but were there any positives? We also take a look at some of the ongoing issues we seem to have with the Wests Tigers 2024 squad.

    And there are heaps of one word submissions from members of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.

    Joel Helmes is in the driver's seat for this pod, joined by Garry Watson and Eddie Otto.

    Speaking of Eddie, standby for a rant on a player that seems to have plateaued in recent times.

    The boys also talk about the signing of Penrith flyer, Sunia Turuva late last week. What the Fijian winger bring to the team in 2025 and beyond and why we should be excited by his arrival.

    There's also a look at rumours the Wests Tigers will be audited by the NRL, and what the four year contract for CEO Shane Richardson means for the future of the club.

    It's another jam packed edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, enjoy!

Scales Of Justice ,

Less Gary Please. Thank you otherwise.

Host Joel does a good job hosting and sharing on air opinion. Best episodes are short and sharp. Worst episodes are the ones overly featuring Gary and his condescending and smug i know everything hyperbole - topped off with his terrible mic technique. His inability to correctly pronounce certain player names coupled with his “for me..I’m not impressed..” comments on professional athletes whilst being obese and never having competed at anything remotely professional is laughable. Otherwise - an enjoyable podcast.
