🐯 **Wests Tigers Podcast – Episode 493**
The future of the Wests Tigers could be taking shape — and South-West Sydney is right at the heart of it!
The Tigers have committed to six games at Campbelltown in 2027, with the possibility of seven from 2029 as part of a huge 15-year agreement. Is this finally the club planting its flag in South-West Sydney? And what does it mean for the Leichhardt identity and the old Wests v Balmain debate?
We also look at the $50 million Campbelltown Stadium redevelopment, where that mystery home game should be played, and whether Campbelltown can become a genuine Tigers fortress.
Plus:
🔥 Jersey Flegg finals — can the young Tigers keep their season alive?
🇵🇬 Romey’s PNG visit — was it really an issue, and what does it say about the club?
💯 Terrell May’s 100th NRL game
🐯 Vaka Aho’s NRL debut — an eight-year pathway journey finally pays off
🏉 Panthers v Tigers — can the Tigers erase the memory of that 68-0 humiliation?

@nick_hayzee I haven't listened to the podcast yet but I can't help but notice that your avatar is no longer an Einstein look a like and now resembles someone perhaps more Shakespearean in appearance. What's driving this new look?
I heard a quote today that Penrith have scored 16 or 18 can’t remember which, consecutive tries against us. Do you think that’s in Ivan’s run sheet? Does he want to plunge the dagger 🤷♂️Ugliness could well and truly rear its ugly head come 5:30 Sunday. I just wonder if 1.2 plays or he’s going to pike out?
Panthers have to either win by 2 points more or lose by 2 less points than the Warriors to take out the Minor Premiership so by kick off Sunday or 5pm this afternoon they will know what is required and manage their game plan accordingly. They wont want to risk any major injuries to key players and as Tigers have nothing to lose we could scare them off a bit with some fierce tackling early on in the game. As I am typing this it is 24 all with Manly and Wahs so maybe a big win from Panthers is not going to be necessary. Might mean a closer game for us too.
Another debutant and a milestone game also add their interest and give reason for a big final push before the season is over for us. Luai has one last chance to show us what we will be missing out on as he moves on and Latu hopefully gets a chance to show Romey his shoes are not that big after all.
Go Tigers!!!!
