  • Top Five Next Generation Wests Tigers Stars

    Top Five Next Generation Wests Tigers Stars
    Sep 11 2025
    When Wests Tigers achieved success, we had a mix of youngsters and a sprinkling of older heads to guide them. Are we on the cusp of repeating that in 2026? Do we have a new generation of young talent to come through and make a mark on the NRL?

    We thought we would reach out to a podcast team that has done an excellent job of covering all that's going on through the lower grades at the Wests Tigers, the Wests Tigers Faithful podcast.

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Joe McCord (aka 'Mac') from Wests Tigers Faithful for a chat. Mac has identified five young players in the Wests Tigers system that he believes are standouts and gives us a rundown on what we might get from names like Phoenix Godinet, Logan Brookes, and Jarod Haywood in the coming years.

    He even believes at least one of the five players he has named will debut for the club in season 2026. One of the five in particular has Mac really excited, reminding him of a former young Wests Tigers star many of us have fond memories of.

    It's not just homegrown talent that looks promising. Mac also gives us a rundown on what we might get from Brisbane recruit, Javon Andrews, and the young Rooster coming across to our club, Ethan Roberts.

    Joel and Mac also discuss the recent announcement that Taylan May has re-signed with the club for two more seasons, and Mac gives his thoughts on how the season ended for the team. While he also makes a really interesting observation around why the Wests Tigers struggled at times this year, and it's a point, and a statistic that hasn't widely been discussed.

    We hope you enjoy this latest cross-podcast collaboration, and we hope to hear more insights about the young Wests Tigers players from Wests Tigers Faithful in 2026.

  • Wests Tigers Fall To Fast Finishing Titans

    Wests Tigers Fall To Fast Finishing Titans
    Sep 8 2025
    What went wrong? That's a question that dominates this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast! The Wests Tigers put in another strong performance on Saturday evening...for about sixty minutes, eventually succumbing to the Titans 36-28.

    On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Nick, Declan, and Zac for a deep dive into the highs and lows of the Gold Coast game. There were some positives, including some flashy attacking play and some good individual performances as well. But, just like the Canberra and Cowboys games, the boys just couldn't match it with the opposition when the whips started cracking towards the end of the game.

    How can we change this next year? How can we make our right edge more reliable in defence? And have we signed enough quality players to turn this around in 2026?

    How about the young winger? One highlight from the game was the debut of Heamasi Makasini, the young Tiger proved he didn't look out of place in the NRL. We talk about how we fit the youngster into the team next year.

    There's also a strong list of 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum. And a big thank you to all the forum members who contributed right through 2025!

    Joel finishes this podcast with some rapid-fire questions, including: Was the season a success or a failure? And are we better placed than we were a year ago?

    It's really disappointing that the team didn't manage to put a more enjoyable full stop on the season, but we hope you still enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. And stay tuned for more Wests Tigers content in the coming weeks, and right across the NRL off-season as well.

    As always, thank you for your support, and fingers crossed for a bigger and better 2026 for the Wests Tigers!

  • Can Wests Tigers Finish 2025 On A High?

    Can Wests Tigers Finish 2025 On A High?
    Sep 4 2025
    The final mid-week edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast for season 2025 is warmed up and ready to go!

    Wests Tigers travel to the Gold Coast tomorrow to face the Titans in a game that could have significant ramifications on both teams' ladder positions. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Eddie and Steve discuss the importance of putting in a respectable effort in the Tigers' last run of the year.

    A team that we've traditionally had trouble getting on top of, the boys look at what it will take to come away from the holiday strip with the two points.

    Also on this edition of the podcast, Eddie brings out a strong list of questions for a round of Buy, Sell, Hold, including topics such as the 2026 Wests Tigers coaching team. One recently dumped NRL coach also gets a mention, with Eddie tossing up Adam O'Brien as someone who might be a good addition to the club's coaching ranks.

    Heamasi Makasini will become Wests Tigers player number 303 when he debuts this weekend against the Titans. The boys look at what he might bring in game number one.

    Some chat about Wests Tigers' 2025 Player of the Year also features on the pod. And Yioti's Quiz is also ready to go, with our quiz master coming up with a question regarding a very memorable moment in a Wests Tigers v Gold Coast Titans game way back in 2010! He's also found a player who was with our club for an extended period, but only managed a handful of games.

    We hope you enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast. The post-Titans game edition will drop on Monday, and we'll keep you updated with everything Wests Tigers over the off-season. And don't forget that you can join the discussion today and right through the next six months on our Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.
