We can't say we didn't have our chances! The Wests Tigers fell to South Sydney on Saturday night by 20 points to 16.
Frustratingly, we think just about everyone agrees that for most of the match, the Wests Tigers were the better team, but it ended up being an inability to ice moments in our red zone that cost us a valuable win. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Nick, and Josh take a deep dive into the performance that left many Wests Tigers fans confused. But before talking specifically about the Gosford game, there's some breaking news that former Knights coach, and current Bulldogs assistant, Adam O'Brien might be coming in to help us with our attack. We take a look at how that could play out for our club. There's also some player movement talk with more Wests Tigers players possibly getting off the bus. Back to the game against the Bunnies, we take a look at some of the individual performances, including giving big wraps to the born-again Alex Twal! Naturally, there's discussion about the injuries to Adam Doueihi and Jarome Luai, and, just as importantly, how we might replace them over the coming weeks. There are also a lot of opinions and thoughts from other Wests Tigers fans, including two well-thought-out posts found on different Wests Tigers Facebook groups, and a stack of 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. The Richo-Meter also features. It's a post-loss edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, but it isn't all doom and gloom. We hope you enjoy, and thanks for watching or listening.

Not sure Adam O'B is the answer to our attack in problems. KPP has already done better at WT this year than he did at Newcastle under him last year.

Sounds like there was nothing to the report, won’t be happening.

It must be difficult to present a podcast based on rumour and opinion, as opposed to "entertainment" utilising the comedic, or other, talents of the presenters (such as the brilliant Ellis James and John Robins podcast on BBC Sounds).
Less than 48hours after publishing the intro/summary of the podcast content, you need to admit that one of the key points (Adam O"Brien's possible employment as attacking coach at WT) is not happening.
It's terrific that others find "entertainment" in listening to the opinions of like-minded people who just happen to have podcast facilities and are willing to give their time to create content though. It's providing a service for others and good on you for doing it (although I've never listened and don't intend to).

We can only go off what comes through. If we don’t talk about what hits the press then people also ask why not?
No sweat not listening, we enjoy doing it regardless of who or how many tune in 👍

That is good becuase tbh its becoming more and more of a punish to get through.
You guys POV on Bula is truly bewildering. Worth $500-600K? How many good first grade fullbacks you reckon are getting $500-600K?
If/when Bula goes on the open market it will be upwards of $900K. If Jai Gray was on the market he would be getting upwards of $750K.
@tiger5150 you guys ? I was fully supporting Bula - its called a debate

It would be pretty boring if we all agreed! I like Bula, but money needs to be reasonable given he’s not a consistently top-tier fullback.

Oh I don't know.
I prefer when people agree with me as Im most often right!

The market will determine the price. The question is whether you prioritise him or want to start again.
At what price do you let Bula walk Joel?

So, just so we get this right; you're saying that if the Bula camp asked for more than $750K, you'd prefer WT to allow him to sign elsewhere?At what price do you let Bula walk Joel?
$750,000.
Yes, I think it’s all moot anyway.

@london-tigers According to @joel, you'd better get a different pic for anything WT 2027 as that one contains Bula.
