The off-season is officially underway, and the next time the Wests Tigers take the field, it will be in the USA!On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Mitch, and Josh take a look at some of the recent off-field developments at the club. After an end-of-season review, we reckon something the club is determined to avoid next year is that mid-season slump.And it looks like one of the ways of ensuring the team stays together and stays competitive is to have a more experienced squad. With the recent signing of Kurt Mann, the addition of Jayden Brailey and Jake Averillo, and the likely signing of Knights duo James Schiller and Tyson Frizell, the Wests Tigers look to have a lot more NRL experience to call on.We discuss some of the finer details on these signings, including whether Mann will get first shot at the number 13 jersey, whether Schiller is an upgrade on the departing Jeral Skelton, and what role Frizell might play.There's also some discussion about Josh Schuster and what role he might play, a chat that leads to a "tin foil hat" conspiracy theory around the future of Adam Doueihi.We hope you enjoy this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast and look forward to your comments regarding the Wests Tigers topics we've discussed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wests-tigers-podcast--6660380/support.

The Wests Tigers tried really hard on Saturday night to add another win to their 2026 total, but it wasn't to be. Blown off the field by the referee and bunker, and eventually overtaken by a fast-finishing Cowboys, the final score was 24-10.One of the main talking points from the game was coach Benji Marshall's comments regarding the officiating, and this, naturally, is a main topic of interest on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.Joel, Nick and Josh look at whether Benji should have spoken up earlier, and whether, indeed, lower-ranked teams seldom get the rub of the green. Other items up for discussion include:The ongoing issues with the sides' Red Zone attackSome of the Tigers' better performers on the nightDid Benji use the bench to suit the conditions?What the last couple of weeks might have taught us about Wests Tigers 2027The performance of Josh Schuster and Haze Dunster in NSW CupAs always, all the 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum feature as well.We're almost there, Wests Tigers fans; a well-earned rest for all of us is just ahead!
