The Titanic was steaming along, making great time on its maiden voyage, when suddenly everything went catastrophically wrong. That sounds a lot like the Wests Tigers in 2026!
On the back of one of the club's darkest nights, the Wests Tigers Podcast is here to have our say on what is going wrong with the team and the club.
Frankly, being in this position again is not only extremely frustrating but also a sad indictment of some important aspects of this organisation (primarily the people who pull the strings).
Joel and Nick deliver a raw assessment of where things are going wrong, and try to reflect the opinions of fellow fans that what we have witnessed in recent times is absolutely unacceptable.
Naturally, as we do on every post-game edition, we share a whole bunch of 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum, and invite you to have your say as well.
It's a dark place the club finds itself in at present; we can only hope that the changes so desperately needed to help this organisation and team flourish (at long last) grow from the mess that has been created.
Thanks for being there and listening to or watching our pod; it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for this episode guys. I appreciate your efforts to find something to talk about after yet another tough night for Tigers fans. Happy 50th Birthday Nick, I hope you have a great time of celebration with family and friends. As to your birthday wish of a win this weekend ... I asked for the same thing when I turned 70 on the weekend of our Round 11 clash with Manly (ie Magic Round) and we lost 46 - 18.
Hope you have better luck than me.
Joel I am really loving all the images you are posting along with the links to the podcast. In this latest one the ship is sinking but it looks like the passengers all made it into lifeboats so maybe there is still life and hope for the Wests Tigers yet. Also that song (I think there are 2 versions of it you have used) that you play at the end of the episode is ironically entertaining too. If the lyrics were actually true we'd be in a much better position at this stage of the year.
So, I relented and listened to the podcast - first time ever. Symptomatic of how low my mood was. And, fair to say, I won't bother with it again. As I suspected, it's just a couple of dudes with opinions, that I mostly disagree with, and a microphone. Well, spare me that. Life's too short.

Well, yeah, that’s all it’s ever been 😂

Well that accounts for 99% of podcasts mate!
I think it is well documented that Richo left because the independent board was sacked by HBG and a new and HBG heavy board was formed to take its place.
It's the actions of HBG that caused Richo to resign and I think that is what was put forward in the podcast.
Correct me if I am wrong, which I am certain you will.
@tgrzmn Who am I to declare that anyone's opinions are wrong? They're your opinions and they're "right" so far as you're concerned. If you post them here then others can comment if they feel the need; that's how a forum works. And, thankfully, on this forum responses are usually offered respectfully and politely, unlike that other WT forum. And that is due to the standards that Joel and other leaders here model and monitor. Good on them for doing that and providing this forum. I get enough opinions on here to consider, I don't need to listen to a podcast for more of them.
