  • Wests Tigers Podcast: Post Panthers Loss Analysis
    Jul 28 2025
    A lot is going on at the Wests Tigers Podcast with the edition kicking off a busy week for us.

    As you may be aware, we've been collaborating with the boys over at the Wests Tigers Life Podcast, and a new audio and video podcast is about to drop.

    In the meantime, Eddie, Declan, and Nick caught up to put not just the game against the Panthers under the microscope, but also a whole range of other Wests Tigers issues.

    Firstly, don't forget to check out the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum, where the technical team has been adding in a whole bunch of new features and functions.

    You can now even leave audio recording responses on your favourite Wests Tigers topics! Join up today and join in the conversation! The new additions to the forum have created...new additions to the forum with a record number of users and a record number of 'One Word' submissions on this podcast. How many? Well, Eddie had to split the forum member responses into two segments on the podcast.

    Other Tiger-related content on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast includes a look at whether the 34-point loss to the Panthers says more about them than us.

    Did we match them for the first 20 minutes? Should we have taken them on instead of taking the penalty kick? The boys also discuss a topic that seems to be dividing opinion: have we improved or regressed through the year?

    Eddie has joined Joel's club, lamenting our lack of punch, variety, and physicality in our forwards, and is concerned things won't improve up front in season 2026. Recruit Jock Madden also comes up for discussion with the boys looking at the role the halfback could or will play for us when he rejoins next year, and what impact it might have on Latu Fainu.

    And Eddie also uses an AFL example to show just how hard it can be to turn a football club around.

    We hope you enjoy this big edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast!

  • What Does the Rest of 2025 Look Like for Wests Tigers?
    Jul 23 2025
    The mid-week edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast is warmed up and ready to go!vEddie is back for another hump-day edition and is joined by Declan and Nick for a look at all things Wests Tigers.

    Some of the main talking points on this pod include a final look back at the win over the Titans with Nick and Declan getting their chance to assess the scrappy one-point victory.

    There's also a discussion between the boys on what the balance of the 2025 Wests Tigers season looks like. Will it be more of the same? Or has a corner been turned? And what is a pass mark from this point after scoring just two wins out of nine recent matches?

    Eddie asks a question that I think any Wests Tigers fan would struggle to answer - has the team improved as the season has progressed?

    The star of Sunday afternoon at Leichhardt Oval, Taylan May, also comes in for closer inspection with the boys looking at what he could bring not just for the rest of the season, but in coming seasons too.

    There's a discussion on the new long-term contract for Api Koroisau. Will Api's long service at the club make him a Wests Tigers legend?

    It wouldn't be a Wests Tigers Podcast without Adam Doueihi being on the run sheet, and this edition is no different. The boys discuss his market worth for the 2026 season.

    After being a bit of a Debbie Downer through 2025, Eddie has captured some positivity and may have a little hope for the team in 2026 (amazing what a slim win over the worst team in the comp can do!).

    The Panthers clash this weekend is also previewed, and Yioti has gone back in the Wests Tigers time-tunnel for this week's quiz. And don't forget that open invitation, if you haven't already, to join in the discussion on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum!

  • Wests Tigers Coaching Deep Dive with Adel Hage
    Jul 15 2025
    Wests Tigers Podcast has a special edition episode for you with a deep dive into Wests Tigers coaching and game play.
    Eddie is joined by guests Rob Bechara and Coach Adel Hage from the Wests Tigers Life podcast for a look under the microscope at all things to do with the way Wests Tigers play, and are coached.

    Adel is currently coaching Souths Logan Magpies in the Queensland Cup and was previously at the Wests Tigers working with the club's women's teams.

    Some of the main topics on the agenda of this special edition pod are Benji Marshall's strengths and weaknesses as a coach, and a look at Benji's coaching staff and their different roles.

    While other topics up for debate and discussion include:
    • Are we progressing enough under Benji?
    • What's a pass mark for the rest of 2025/2026?
    • What are some of the biggest concerns from here on?
    • How important is trust among the coaching staff?
    • Benji Coaching on the sideline. Good move?
    There's also a more specific look at the current playing style of the Wests Tigers. Is it unorthodox? And in defence, how is losing the collision affecting our performances, and how do you fix it?

    Eddie, Adel, and Rob also discuss whether Jarome Luai's style will work with Latu Fainu, and is a potential move to 13 for Adam Doueihi a viable option?

    There are also some broader questions for the boys to chew on, including: Are old-school coaches on the way out (Madge, Des, Flanagan, etc), and are young players more entitled, or is it the environment you create?

    Hit play for a round of Buy/Sell/Hold with topics including the coach, CEO, Api Korosiau, referees, wooden spoons, and home grounds.

    We hope you enjoy this special bonus edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, and don't forget to join the discussion on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.
