  • It's Not Easy Being Black, Gold and White Right Now

    It's Not Easy Being Black, Gold and White Right Now
    May 17 2026
    It's not easy being green, well, we reckon sometimes it's harder being our famous colours!

    The Wests Tigers slumped to a third straight loss at the weekend, this time outclassed by Manly in Magic Round by 46-18.

    In a team full of guys that try hard, but just don't have the size, speed, and class of the guys they are deputising for, Manly probably outplayed the Tigers in every aspect.

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Declan, and Josh put the game under the microscope.

    Some of the main talking points across this edition of the podcast also include:
    • Does Jarome Luai deserve some of the harsh criticism he's been copping?
    • Madden injured? Who comes into the halves?
    • Herbert suspended, who plays centre?
    • How much did we miss Alex Twal?
    • Are there any other fullback options other than Mason?
    • Do we now go to market for a centre with Taylan May gone for the year?
    Of course, we also share our own 'One Word' submissions, and all those received from members of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.

    Keep your chin up, Wests Tigers fans, we get a much-needed week off and have some classy players on the cusp of an NRL return.

    Winger Sunia Turuva has extended his stay with the club until 2030. We discuss just how much of a recruitment win this is for the club. Yes, that now famous twerk also gets a mention!

    We also dive into other red-hot Wests Tigers topics, including:
    • Why the Fainu brothers MUST be locked down long term
    • The impact of losing Samuela until Round 22
    • NSW Cup & Jersey Flegg smashing Melbourne
    • Logan Brookes, Javon Andrews & Ethan Roberts watch
    • Buy, Sell, Hold
    • Nathan Cleary to the Tigers in 2028?!
    • The ladder is tightening up before the bye

  • Is this the Wests Tigers Slip 'N' Slide?

    Is this the Wests Tigers Slip 'N' Slide?
    May 11 2026
    Well, it happened again. Wests Tigers managed to help a struggling rival find some form, and in the meantime, our promising start to the season is starting to look shaky. Sure, we're missing some of our best players, but are we on that traditional slip 'N' slide down the ladder to our customary "also ran" level?

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Nick, and Josh take a look at whether the two heavy losses in the last two weeks spell the end, or is this just a dip before a major correction?

    There's a review of the Wests Tigers' performance against the Storm, including a small handful of positives and passmarks from the game.

    Some players, though, despite probably trying hard, come in for a bit of scrutiny. As does the referee, who we believe had a particularly poor performance on Sunday afternoon.

    Then there's a little bit of a look ahead at the possible line-up for this weekend's Manly game. The boys look at whether Benji Marshall should opt to roll the dice and make some changes, including potentially trying to revert to some strategies that were working for us earlier in the season.

    Naturally, there's also a healthy list of well-thought-out 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum too.

    Speaking of the forum, we'd love to see you interacting and having your say there, so please feel free to join up and get involved.

    It's a tough time (again) to be a Wests Tiger, but let's stick together and hope the good times return real soon.
