About this episode

The episode discusses the Wests Tigers' disappointing loss to the Knights and critiques player and coaching performances.

The Wests Tigers have fumbled and bumbled their way to a six-point loss against the Knights in Newcastle. With the home side seemingly begging to be beaten, Wests Tigers failed to take any second-half opportunities and came away with a win that probably puts a full stop on our finals hopes for yet another season. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast , Joel and Nick do a post-mortem on a bleak afternoon for the Tigers in the 'Steel City '.One player comes in for a roasting, with their card now marked and ready for the shredder. Coach Benji Marshall also gets a bit of a whack for some of his selections, bench use and post-match comments. As always, each of the 'One Word' submissions from the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum also gets a mention. While the potential signing of ex-Tiger, Junior Tupou , also gets a run. Josh Schuster's invitation to our club is also under the microscope with hopes that the former Manly player can find his feet with us. It really sucks being a Wests Tigers fan at times, but we hope you enjoy this edition of the podcast, and we welcome your comments and opinions on the current situation.
