It’s the midweek edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast with Eddie, Steve, and Declan.
After a promising start to the year, we weary Wests Tigers fans are trying to pick ourselves off the floor, and the podcast boys are no different.
There is a preview of our sides clash with the Roosters, a game that potentially has all the hallmarks of a Wests Tigers flogging.
But, with the Roosters also missing several star players, are they ripe for a loss in this one?
The boys also dig into some of Shane Richardson’s quotes on departed hooker, Tallyn De Silva.
Was the boss right to let the talented rake walk now?
Or is the club continuing to just be the NRL walkovers?
Also up for discussion on this edition of the pod is the future of coach Benji Marshall, with the question being – can he withstand this firestorm?
Is he too tight with certain players? Should he be joining in at training? And, is he safe beyond 2025?
Plus, Eddie, Steve, and Declan rip into a few journalists and ex-players looking for clicks!
And Yioti’s quiz brings up a player who had big shoes to fill!
Don’t forget, win, lose, or draw, to leave your ‘One Word’ submission on the Roosters game in the live match thread on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.
And feel free to join in the discussion on any Wests Tigers topic as well!
Let’s hope that the boys can jag a rare Roosters win this weekend, and we’ll see you for the post-match edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast on Monday morning.

Agree with Declan. Can’t understand why we let DaSilva go this season. Did we stuff up with KPP swap? Timing? Now Api out and DaSilva should have been starting and Hope 14. We screw up selections and cost us games. Mason and Laulilii aren’t ready for 1st grade. Shows our quality of depth. Richo,screwed up with Large brothers,but i think Richo has put a line in the sand with junior managers demanding top 30 spot. Now we have all these top 30 juniors that haven’t progressed to 1st grade and now playing Flegg and cup. Catch 22.Galvin derailed our season and we start again. Now,it’s a Haywood plan. We really need to repair our junior pathways,after loosing Galvin and DaSilva. We didn’t even discuss DaSilva progression with Api extending. So next we don’t play 2 hookers and rely on Api playing 80. Mason isn’t ready for 14,to play 9. So what’s the plan?
