The off-season is officially underway, and the next time the Wests Tigers take the field, it will be in the USA! On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Mitch, and Josh take a look at some of the recent off-field developments at the club. After an end-of-season review, we reckon something the club is determined to avoid next year is that mid-season slump. And it looks like one of the ways of ensuring the team stays together and stays competitive is to have a more experienced squad. With the recent signing of Kurt Mann, the addition of Jayden Brailey and Jake Averillo, and the likely signing of Knights duo James Schiller and Tyson Frizell, the Wests Tigers look to have a lot more NRL experience to call on. We discuss some of the finer details on these signings, including whether Mann will get first shot at the number 13 jersey, whether Schiller is an upgrade on the departing Jeral Skelton, and what role Frizell might play. There's also some discussion about Josh Schuster and what role he might play, a chat that leads to a "tin foil hat" conspiracy theory around the future of Adam Doueihi. We hope you enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast and look forward to your comments regarding the Wests Tigers topics we've discussed.

Wests Tigers Podcast - Talking everything Wests Tigers since 2018!
Enjoyed the pod as always guys. Nice to hear some positive ideas being thrown around. Definitely agree that the experienced recruits will add a lot to our culture.
Regarding James Schiller - I'd hope that we announce Tyson Frizell is a tiger for 2027 before we start any discussion with Schiller. Frizell would be staying at the Knights if they can find space in their Top 30. We don't need to help Newcastle open up a spot for Frizell by signing Schiller.
I personally would hope we stay away from Schiller. I think Haze Dunster is a very talented player it's just his career has never got going because of injury. . If he can show he still has something to offer this summer then I'd keep the final top 30 spot for him
