WTF – Wests Tigers Faithful

The episode title accurately reflects Sunday's match against the Melbourne Storm where utter capitulation in the middle corridor during the first quarter of the game paved the way for a 16-44 scoreline. We unpack the 80 minutes that was and the storylines that arose with an eye towards the road ahead.Two wins (yet again) for NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg are also unpacked right here. You wanna know who's pushing for a first grade jumper? We'll tell you.

The boys preview the week ahead against the measly Melbourne Storm. Will Heath Mason cover himself in glory, or will he cover himself in gravy?They also discuss our worst three losses in franchise history.

Mac and Reedie front up for their first Monday podcast off a loss, after Wests Tigers served up a dreary performance to lose 52-10 to Cronulla. As you can tell from the outset they’re right up for it (sarcasm).Thankfully after reviewing the car crash that was that performance there were wins for NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg which are reviewed in this episode, for some positivity. Not much but a bit.Therapy session inbound Friday.

Reedie and Mac debut under the Friday night lights for their sophomore WTTV episode, the 64th in their history.They talk Jarome Luai’s confirmed departure from the Wests Tigers in 2028 and the potential fallout and the retention of Terrell and Taylan May until 2030 before previewing the match against the Cronulla Sharks this Sunday.A pathways preview follows which includes a look at Logan Brookes ahead of his NSW Cup debut this week, plus a look at Jersey Flegg.

It’s Episode 63 for Wests Tigers Faithful but officially our first as part of the Wests Tigers TV family! We’ve got all the details about us coming on board in the pod.Once the formalities are out of the way, conversation turns to reviewing the convincing win over the Raiders, potential State of Origin selections and an in-depth look at our NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg performances, which delivered a loss and a win respectively.To those of you who are new here, welcome. To those of you who aren’t, may the shenanigans continue.

We're lucky enough to sit down with current Wests Magpies SG Ball Captain, Archie Duncombe, to talk all things footy and life.We haven't heard a single bad word said about the bloke in our time, and he completely lived up to that expectation. A legend in every sense of the word.

Wincast 7® for 2025.Pathways comes first this week before we talk through some squad movements and the game against the Titans, the Flegg, NRLW and Cup games and some Q&A which was interrupted by some breaking news. Might be best to listen to this one in parts, just quietly.

A third successive loss and Benji Marshall's future define much of this episode, before a pleasantly in-depth analysis of NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg's matches over the weekend. A Q&A with those watching on live follows!

Despite what Reedie says, this is our 34th episode. We try and get the Galvin chat out of the way early, preview the Cowboys match, review the Flegg boys' win in Fiji and then have an extensive Q&A with those in the live chat that boils over into complete and utter nonsense. Enjoy!

After complaining about WT's Origin curse, the boys process some stats that tell the story of our season so far and give their conclusions on where we're at.Mac watched Cup for the first time in weeks, so we talk about that. We also talk about that loss to Souths.

64-blot. Yuck. We review the game, argue about player development, have a group therapy session with those tuning in live and then preview the Souths game. We may be far too optimistic by the end of it, but it is the way of a Tigers fan. Pathways is brief this week.

Comprehensive is probably an understatement.

Reedie is joined by Smelma Bouvier (lung biscuit connoisseur, Joe McCord) to review our Round 1 game against the Knights.Were we that bad? Were we really any good? We don't know, but we try to come to a conclusion. Reedie didn't want to talk about Lachlan Galvin, but Mac did, so we did that too.
