  • Back to Square One as Richo Walks Away

    Back to Square One as Richo Walks Away
    Dec 8 2025
    It's been a sad day for Wests Tigers with highly-regarded CEO Shane Richardson walking away from the club.

    The man they call 'Richo' had been doing a sterling job in getting Wests Tigers back on track and things we're genuinely looking up for 2026.

    But then that selfish bunch at the Holman Barnes Group decided to pull the rug out from all Wests Tigers fans.

    We now have no CEO and no Chair. Fans are walking away and memberships are being cancelled.

    On this bleak day, Nick and Declan take the reins of the Wests Tigers Podcast and have their say on this raw edition of the pod.

  • Cross Podcast Disgust in latest HBG Power Play!

    Cross Podcast Disgust in latest HBG Power Play!
    Dec 1 2025
    Well, they've done it again! Just when it felt like the Wests Tigers had turned the corner, here comes the HBG hatchet men!

    That's right, our old "friends" from the Holman Barnes Group (HBG) have orchestrated their latest power play to again make the Wests Tigers the NRL laughing stocks.

    After we fought so hard to initiate change at Wests Tigers board level, and based on the advice of an independent governance review, the four independent Wests Tigers board members have been sacked.

    This includes our chairman, Barry O'Farrell. The HBG, the majority shareholders of Wests Tigers, say their knives were sharpened after the Wests Tigers board didn't adequately communicate with the HBG board, and there was a misalignment between the organisations.

    We fear, but strongly suspect, the majority orange home jersey selected by Wests Tigers for 2026 and beyond was the tipping point. What a mess!

    On this emergency edition of the podcast, Joel Helmes is joined by Zac Kels from Tiger Town, and Joe McCord from Wests Tigers Faithful. The boys are showing cross-podcast unity in the face of a really disappointing situation.

    Topics up for discussion include: Will Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson now resign? How will this latest storm affect player negotiations? What actions can fans take to convey their dissatisfaction? Should, or will, the NRL get involved? Are the HBG moves about deeper issues?

    We hope you enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, and we welcome your comments on this topic on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.

  • Three Big Areas Wests Tigers Need To Improve in 2026

    Three Big Areas Wests Tigers Need To Improve in 2026
    Nov 23 2025
    The Wests Tigers need to play finals football in 2026; it's as simple as that. But what does the club need to do on the field to make that happen? How do we do something that we haven't done in 15 years?

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, we identify our areas of improvement that the club and team need to make. Joel Helmes and Nick Hayes suggest improvements that should and could be made in important aspects, such as bench rotations and impact.

    We also identify consistency in the halves and arrest a worrying trend that has crept into many failed or frustrating Wests Tigers seasons, a long mid-season run of outs!

    Watch or listen to this edition to see what else the club needs to do to see finals footy once again, finally!

    What has us worried heading into the 2026 NRL season? Joel and Nick also list a few factors that have them concerned at this point in the Wests Tigers' preseason. These concerns include positional question marks, key contract discussions, and a reliance on some inexperienced and untested young players.

    As always, feel free to agree or disagree with the boys on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. Other topics up for discussion on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast included:
    • Is Royce Hunt ready to turn the corner and hit a new high?
    • Why aren't a couple of key 2026 recruits listed on the 'Teams' page of the official Wests Tigers website?
    And the brand-new Wests Tigers jersey design also comes up for discussion, with a Wests Tigers legend also being mentioned in that discussion.

    It's the latest big edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. We hope you enjoy it and that you're surviving another long Wests Tigers off-season! We hope to be back again with another podcast edition soon.
