The Wests Tigers head to Campbelltown Stadium to face the Bunnies on Sunday evening.
And the question on everyone’s lips is, will last Sunday’s Storm shellacking derail our promising season?
On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Eddie Otto is in the host’s chair and is joined by Steve Stretton and Declan McCutcheon.
Steve was at AAMI Park in Melbourne for the game against the Storm, he gives us an eyewitness account of the murder!
The boys also discuss Melbourne’s differences compared to our club and team, both on and off the field.
Naturally, there’s a discussion on the pod about what those implications might be for such a poor performance, not just for the season, but for our team, coach, and club.
Injuries are starting to hit.
The boys also run through the latest injury report, with both good and bad news for Tigers’ fans.
The good news is that two strike players are on the verge of return, but the news may not be good for an important member of our forward pack.
It’s been a little bit, but ‘the shredder’ has returned. Eddie, Steve, and Declan predict who might be heading for a Concord exit at the end of the season.
One topic of discussion that has featured heavily both in the media and on the socials in recent times is the future hooker strategy at the club. The boys predict what might happen with Api and TDS.
Of course, there is a preview of the game against the Rabbitohs at Campbelltown on Sunday evening. This could also be one of the Wests Tigers’ Podcast team members’ final trip to the ground!
Steve has a preview of the Ambush event being held before the game, and also has the questions for Yioti’s Quiz.
Let’s hope we can regroup this weekend and come back with a post-victory edition of the podcast early next week!
For those who can remember, back in the day the competition was structured with 3 grades for each team. The reserves were at one time under 23s so players could reasonably expect to debut in first grade in their early to mid 20s. We probably need to slow up on promoting teenagers to first grade and get back to leaving them in lower grades to gain experience, to build their bodies so they can compete against 1st grade players.
I agree with this fully. Old structure used to be 1st Grade- Reserve Grade- President Cup (U23)
