Wests Tigers Put Under the Podcast Microscope

The Wests Tigers' 2026 season is slowly disintegrating into a bit of a tragedy after such a strong start to the season.

On Friday night, it was the New Zealand Warriors who were the latest opposition team to thrust another dagger into the poor old Tigers.

Beating our boys 32-6 at Campbelltown Stadium, the weekend was also full of negative headlines with confirmation that Jarome Luai would exit at the end of this season.

But is it all doom and gloom? There are, at least according to some members of the Wests Tigers Podcast team, some reasons to keep our heads up.

On this edition of the podcast, you'll hear (or see) a bit of a different take on the departure of Luai and some ideas on what needs to be done to make the team more dynamic and successful.

Some of the other main talking points also include:

• The fine debut of young hooker, Jared Haywood
• The worry about Wests Tigers' poor red zone attack in recent times
• Missed opportunities against the Warriors
• How Pole stood up and made a real impact off the bench

And, naturally, there's a whole heap of 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum as well.

Chin up, Wests Tigers fans! Thanks for your support of the pod; it is very much appreciated.
