  • Wests Tigers Podcast Take Positive Attitude to Luai News

    Wests Tigers Podcast Take Positive Attitude to Luai News
    Apr 29 2026
    Yes, it's a bit disappointing, but surely freeing up a heap of cap space can only be good news for Wests Tigers? That's the basic position we tend to agree upon on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, following the news that Jarome Luai would link with PNG in 2028.

    With Nick in the host's seat, Joel, Josh, and guest panelist Aaron discuss all the many factors surrounding the exit of one of our skippers at the end of next season. And there's a prediction that another Wests Tigers player may head to the new team, and that isn't Sunia Turuva.

    Have an opinion on the Luai situation? Be sure to have your say either in the comments or on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. Also on this edition of the podcast, we talk about the Sharks' game this Sunday at Cronulla.

    Overall, we've had a pretty good run against Cronulla, but in recent seasons, they've been up, and we've been down. So what can we expect on Sunday afternoon? Especially with our boys missing some key players.

    Check out our thoughts on where the game will be won and lost, and catch our fearless (mostly optimistic) predictions. It's been a difficult week to be a Wests Tigers fan, but regardless, we hope you enjoy this big mid-week edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.

  • Wests Tigers Squeeze Out Green Machine at Leichhardt

    Wests Tigers Squeeze Out Green Machine at Leichhardt
    Apr 26 2026
    The Wests Tigers racked up their fifth win of the season on Thursday night, beating the Raiders 33-14 in front of just over 17,000 fans. In what was another memorable game for the club, the Tigers didn't concede a point with all thirteen men on the field, only a sin-bin to Api Koroisau gave Canberra a chance.

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Jordan, and Declan are joined by Mac from the Wests Tigers Faithful podcast to discuss the big win.

    But, there's also some breaking news that dominates the conversation - the potential loss of Jarome Luai to the new PNG franchise in 2028. Our skipper has visited the new team's facilities, and he could be making a big decision in the coming days.

    Is this a tragedy for Wests Tigers? Or, could it actually be a blessing? Both sides of the argument are put forward in our discussions about this still-developing story. As always, be sure to have your say on this hot topic on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.

    Naturally, there's plenty of discussion about the game against the Raiders, including the impressive goal-line defence shown by our boys (well, when we had 13 on 13!). Api's potential suspension also falls under the microscope with Mac predicting Benji Marshall might spring a surprise move if he isn't available against the Sharks.

    We also talk fullback, if Jahream Bula isn't right to go this week. And Joel decides to do something both careless and reckless, tune in or download to find out more.

    We hope you enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. If you're catching the pod on YouTube, we'd really love it if you could hit 'Subscribe'!

    Catch you mid-week, looking forward to the big Sunday afternoon clash with the gummy Sharks.

  • Bucking Broncos! Wests Tigers Fall Short Against Brisbane

    Bucking Broncos! Wests Tigers Fall Short Against Brisbane
    Apr 19 2026
    It was a huge night at Campbelltown Stadium with a sell-out crowd desperately trying to get Wests Tigers across the line. But, with a fourth straight win on the line, Wests Tigers couldn't get the job done against an injury-ravaged Brisbane Broncos, going down 21-20.

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Nick, and Josh pull apart the good, the bad, and the ugly from the Tigers' performance.

    Some of the main talking points include:
    • Should Samuela Fainu be considered for NSW Origin selection?
    • Should Heamasi Makasini be dropped to regain some confidence?
    • What to do with the Wests Tigers halves?
    • How Wests Tigers won on the stats sheet, but not on the scoreboard.
    • How and why the team struggled just before halftime.
    Naturally, there are many 'One Word' submissions from the members of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. Thank you to everyone who left theirs again. Also, the Richo Meter comes out, and the boys try to answer the question - did the Wests Tigers players start getting a little overconfident before this game?
    And, is it a good thing we have only a short turnaround before our next game?

    All that, and a whole lot more on this latest edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast!

  • Oh Yeah! Wests Tigers Win Three In a Row!!

    Oh Yeah! Wests Tigers Win Three In a Row!!
    Apr 12 2026
    After seventeen attempts, Wests Tigers have finally won three straight NRL games again. This is a feat we haven't achieved for about eight years, and we did it in style, beating the high-flying Newcastle 42-22.

    No one is more pleased about the three-in-a-row achievement than our own Jordan Prime. Jordan has been carrying that monkey on his back for a few years now, and he pops up on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast as a very relieved man!

    Joel, Nick, and Declan also take a deep dive into this afternoon's big win at Campbelltown, including some key talking points such as:
    • The two-try performance of Jahream Bula
    • Jeral Skelton's brainsnap!
    • What to do with the halves with Luai back next week?
    • Twal, another amazing performance
    • The dominant display from our whole forward pack
    Also up for discussion was the great start to the game made by the boys, a big change to the come-from-behind results in recent weeks. While the somewhat lacklustre end to the game also falls under the microscope. There's also plenty of great 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. If you haven't yet joined, please do so today and let your voice be heard.

    It's an amazing time to be a Wests Tigers fan, enjoy the ride, and enjoy this latest edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast!

  • Campbelltown is Set to Rock! Wests Tigers Come to Town Sunday

    Campbelltown is Set to Rock! Wests Tigers Come to Town Sunday
    Apr 10 2026
    One of the biggest Wests Tigers matches in recent years will play out at Campbelltown Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Chasing three wins in a row, after falling seventeen times beforehand, can the Wests Tigers finally get the elusive hat trick of wins?

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast with Josh, Josh and Jordan, the boys preview the big clash with the recently impressive Newcastle Knights. How do we conquer their unorthodox style? What are some things we need to do better as a team to ensure the two points stay with us? Is resilience (and a big home crowd) going to get the good guys home in this one?

    They're just a couple of main talking points on this edition.

    Hit play to also have a chuckle at something funny that happened in the Benji Marshall press conference today, and the boys look at the sudden depth we seem to have in the backs.

    While some player movement rumours are also circling, including the potential big news of Jahream Bula re-signing long-term with Wests Tigers.

    And Campbelltown also comes up on the agenda, with a pat on the back for the club and the local council for their recent efforts to boost Wests Tigers' profile and standing in the community.

    Let's hope for three in a row on Sunday, and don't forget to leave your 'One Word' submissions post-match for the next edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast on the forum!

On this post-victory edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Josh and Declan to look back at a game that had more highs and lows than the Easter Show roller coaster. Some of the primary points discussed include:
    • The Luke Laulilii sin-bin
    • The Jock Madden performance
    • What to do with the halves when Luai is available again
    • The slow start...again!
    • The standout performance of most of the Wests Tigers' forwards
    • That impact we continue to see from our bench players
    The Richo Meter comes out too, with opinions divided on how the Wests Tigers' performance could be assessed. Naturally, there's a whole bunch of 'One Word' submissions from members of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum too. And there's a little look ahead to Sunday with the potential of at least one player returning from injury against the Knights. It's great to be bringing you another post-victory edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. Enjoy!
