It’s the midweek edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast with Eddie, Steve, and Declan.

After a promising start to the year, we weary Wests Tigers fans are trying to pick ourselves off the floor, and the podcast boys are no different.

There is a preview of our sides clash with the Roosters, a game that potentially has all the hallmarks of a Wests Tigers flogging.

But, with the Roosters also missing several star players, are they ripe for a loss in this one?

The boys also dig into some of Shane Richardson's quotes on departed hooker, Tallyn De Silva.

Was the boss right to let the talented rake walk now?

Or is the club continuing to just be the NRL walkovers?

Also up for discussion on this edition of the pod is the future of coach Benji Marshall, with the question being - can he withstand this firestorm?

Is he too tight with certain players? Should he be joining in at training? And, is he safe beyond 2025?

Plus, Eddie, Steve, and Declan rip into a few journalists and ex-players looking for clicks!

And Yioti's quiz brings up a player who had big shoes to fill!

Don't forget, win, lose, or draw, to leave your 'One Word' submission on the Roosters game in the live match thread on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.

And feel free to join in the discussion on any Wests Tigers topic as well!

Let's hope that the boys can jag a rare Roosters win this weekend, and we'll see you for the post-match edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast on Monday morning.

Just when things look like turning at Wests Tigers, we seem to end up back in the doldrums.

As things stand, there's not much to be happy or optimistic about, and yes, that does come through on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.

After surrendering to an under-strength Manly at Brookvale Oval on Friday night, Wests Tigers fans are now braced to lose another young prospect, Tallyn Da Silva.

Reports say the young hooker, touted by former coach Tim Sheens as a generational talent, has played his last game for us.

But, in true Wests Tigers fashion, we really could use him, at least this weekend, with Api Koroisau being unavailable due to a failed HIA.

Up for discussion on this edition of the podcast is the logic of letting Tallyn go to another club mid-season (although we struggle to find much logic in it).

The effects of letting players walk mid-season with nothing or very little in return.

We ask, why should the club's loyal members keep tipping in their hard-earned cash when the club consistently gives up on seasons at the mid-way point?

And will the team, after six straight losses, now drop its bundle completely? Or, will there be a turnaround?

There's a strong list of 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum, ranging from "Depressing" to "Confused" and 'Groundhog Day".

Despite the woes, there are a couple of positives discussed, including another win for the NSW Cup team and the performances of the Fainu brothers on Friday night.

Eddie has a new game to bring us as well.

Unfortunately, it is another post-loss edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, but we hope that you do enjoy it. Please don't forget to join the discussion on everything Wests Tigers on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. Hope to see you there!

The Wests Tigers head to Brookvale Oval and it is time for another edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.

Eddie, Nick and Garry dive into the mid-week podcast previewing the Manly game and the changes to the Wests Tigers team. Is this the start of a long-term halves pairing? Is Mason the best choice at fullback?

A sometimes heated debate over the future of Tallyn Da Silva. Are the Wests Tigers making the right decision backing their captain over the young gun? Is history repeating? Plus, Yioti’s quiz and listener feedback.
