  • Why Can't Wests Tigers Win the Big Events? And Galvin Back?
    Apr 22 2025

    The name of this Wests Tigers Podcast edition is simply two questions, and we have plenty more!

    Joel Helmes, Eddie Otto, Steve Stretton, and Garry Watson are on deck for this later-than-usual post-game edition of the pod.

    As we know, Wests Tigers succumbed to the Eels on Monday afternoon.

    That result leads us to some big questions that we try to answer, including:

    • When it comes to big events like this, why don't we often turn up as a team?
    • Should we play home games against the Eels at CommBank Stadium?
    • Did the club make some mistakes last week in regards to Lachlan Galvin?

    There are plenty of other things that get discussed as well, including the lies and manipulation in the rugby league media.

    What is stopping Jarome Luai from being more dominant in attack with the Wests Tigers?

    And we run through all the 'One Word' submissions from our valued Wests Tigers Podcast Forum members.

    Steve and Garry also let us know how the big Ambush event at Commbank stadium went, including info that came from guests Latu Fainu and Jeral Skelton.

    It's a bit of a different version of the Wests Tigers Podcast this time around, and we hope you enjoy it.

  • Why Galvin Situation Could Make Wests Tigers and Eels Preview
    Apr 18 2025

    The Lachlan Galvin saga has continued this week, leading to this bonus edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.

    After a strong debate after the story broke on Monday night, followed by more analysis by Eddie and the boys on Wednesday, we now have this third pod for the week.

    We take a look at the press conferences held by Benji Marshall, then Wests Tigers' captains, Api Koroisau and Jarome Luai.

    Joel, Garry, and Nick give their thoughts on what was said and why we're starting to see the potential positives of testing out the coach and players' responses to a situation like this.

    Most importantly, comparing that response to what we have seen in the past from our club and playing group.

    Is this going to be the issue that finally helps turn Wests Tigers into a more focused and battle-hardened team?

    Let's make a statement against the Eels!

    We then turn our attention to the big Monday afternoon clash with the Parramatta Eels at CommBank Stadium.

    The Easter Monday fixture looks set to be a memorable encounter with the Wests Tigers no doubt out to tell the world they're bigger and better this year, with or without Galvin.

    The stats show Wests Tigers should be firm favourites, and the Eels have also lost a few players in recent days, but they do welcome back Mitch Moses for the game.

    We also look at the reshuffle of the Tiger's team, including the move to the halves for Adam Doueihi, and hopefully the remergence of Luai in Batman mode.

    The return of experienced centre Brent Naden also draws our attention.

    Big guests at the Ambush.

    Don't forget to get along to the free Ambush event before the game at CommBank, with two special guests ensuring it should be a memorable experience.

    Jeral Skelton will be a guest, as will Latu Fainu, and Garry will get the chance to interview both injured Wests Tigers stars. What we hear from Latu should be of particular interest!

    We hope you enjoy this bonus edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast!

  • Where To Now With the Lachlan Galvin Situation?
    Apr 16 2025

    The Wests Tigers Podcast has had a bit of a reshuffle with regular programming put on hold this week.

    That change is because of two different reasons: the boys don't play until Easter Monday, and then there's Lachlan Galvin.

    After a debate on Monday night on the future of the 19-year-old half, where quite polar opposite opinions were aired, have things changed in the ensuing 48 hours?

    In other words, is someone going to say on this podcast that, in fact, "Joel was right"?

    You'll have to listen to this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast to find out.

    Who's on the show?

    Eddie Otto is hosting and is joined by Steve Stretton, while Declan McCutcheon and Nick Hayes get a chance to have their first say on the Galvin saga.

    Some of the questions the boys look at include the obvious one - where does this go from here?

    If Galvin does get off at the next bus stop, who do we need to target as a replacement? Does that need to be someone to play in the halves?

    And how will this affect our season? Could it even be a positive in regards to camaraderie among the playing group and a more settled offense on the field?

    Don't forget to join everyone over on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum to have your say!

    A bit get for the Ambush!

    How's this for a get? This Monday's Ambush fan event at CommBank Stadium will see man in waiting, Latu Fainu, join the boys for an interview.

    Joined by fellow injured Wests Tigers star, Jeral Skelton, get along to that event to hear firsthand from Latu and find out his thoughts on his future alongside Jarome Luai in the Tigers' halves.

    Attendance to the event is free and will take place at the CommBank Stadium Bar inside Gate B from 2:30 pm.

    We hope you enjoy this rejigged mid-week pod, and we'll have a preview pod for the Eels game for you later in the week.
