  • Luai stars as Wests Tigers Farewell Leichhardt Oval (for a bit)

    Luai stars as Wests Tigers Farewell Leichhardt Oval (for a bit)
    Jun 14 2026
    The Wests Tigers had a few heart-in-mouth moments and almost succumbed to some classy Titans plays, but managed to hold on for an eight-point win at Leichhardt Oval this afternoon.
    Playing our last game at the “Eighth Wonder of the World”, the good guys gave up an early 12-point lead but came home strongly in a determined effort.

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Josh and Nick walk through all the important talking points from the 36-28 win, including:
    • The game-changing Jarome Luai performance
    • The debut of young hooker Josese Lanyon
    • Injury to Kai Pearce-Paul
    • The impact that the big home crowd had on the game
    As always, all the ‘one word’ submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum are shared, and we take a look at the finals equation after the club claimed victory number seven for the season.

    Thank you so much for your support, and we’ll catch you all for the midweek edition of the podcast!

  • Wests Tigers Season On The Line Against Titans

    Wests Tigers Season On The Line Against Titans
    Jun 10 2026
    This is it, folks, the Wests Tigers' do-or-die moment taking on the Gold Coast at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday afternoon.

    Both teams have just won one of their past five matches, and the Titans are looking for just their fourth win of the season, but with a winning track record against the Tigers will fancy their chances.

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Nick and Josh are joined by fellow Wests Tigers die-hard, Mitch. Aside from a preview of the Titans clash, on the agenda are several pressing Wests Tigers issues, including:
    • Israel Folau - bullet dodged, or potential mid-season boost missed?
    • The Panthers' capitulation - why do Wests Tigers find a way to lose momentum each year?
    And with the Leichhardt Oval redevelopment starting after Sunday's game, we take a look at what losing our only winning home ground will mean for the next couple of years, and share some good and not-so-good memories of the old girl.

    Regarding the game against the Titans, which Wests Tigers player will be most motivated to bounce back from last week's embarrassment, and what will the inclusion of two centres do to our backline?

    As always, feel free to join in the discussion on everything Wests Tigers on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum, and we hope to have a post-victory edition of the pod for you again on Sunday night!

  • Oh Dear! Wests Tigers Get Panthers Shellacking

    Oh Dear! Wests Tigers Get Panthers Shellacking
    Jun 7 2026
    It was an afternoon we'd all like to forget at CommBank Stadium, with the Wests Tigers proving little more than cannon fodder against a white-hot Panthers. Losing 68-nil is about as low as it gets for an NRL fan, but despite the awful afternoon, we thought we might try and make some sense of the events in Parramatta.

    So, this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast is a little different: it's just Joel and Nick, and we keep things pretty short and to the point.

    Of course, all the 'One Word' responses from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum feature, along with some key talking points:
    • Where to from here for the team and club?
    • What went so drastically wrong?
    • Were the Panthers just that good?
    • What areas of weakness has this result exposed?
    It's a tough go presenting or even listening to (or watching) a podcast after a performance like that, but let's soldier on, Wests Tigers fans!
