About this episode

The episode discusses the Wests Tigers' recent poor performance against the Sharks and explores potential solutions and future implications for the team.

Wests Tigers' 2026 season is at a key juncture. Are we slip-slidin' down the ladder, or was Sunday afternoon a bump in the road? Succumbing 52-10 against a Sharks team that has been struggling for form , Wests Tigers fans have every right to feel dejected. But, with several key men out, or failing even to finish that game through injury, are things as bad as they seem? Was it a true reflection of our team? On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast , Joel, Josh, and Nick try to find some answers from a very lamentable afternoon in the shire. Some of the main talking points include the numerous errors, the poor defensive reads, and the Wests Tigers' lack of physical presence and creative flair. Of course, the question is also asked - how much did the Luai contract talk last week take effect? Can some positional changes this week get us back on track? Is it time to call on some talented youngsters? Will Benji Marshall be conservative with the side he names to take on the Storm? We try to look at some options to get our side up again. There's also discussion about the future of Jeral Skelton with talk he might be getting off the bus soon and joining the Eels. Watch or listen to…
