Wests Tigers Squeeze Out Green Machine at Leichhardt

About this episode

The episode discusses the Wests Tigers' victory over the Raiders and the potential loss of Jarome Luai to a new franchise.

The Wests Tigers racked up their fifth win of the season on Thursday night, beating the Raiders 33-14 in front of just over 17,000 fans. In what was another memorable game for the club, the Tigers didn't concede a point with all thirteen men on the field, only a sin-bin to Api Koroisau gave Canberra a chance. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel, Jordan, and Declan are joined by Mac from the Wests Tigers Faithful podcast to discuss the big win. But, there's also some breaking news that dominates the conversation - the potential loss of Jarome Luai to the new PNG franchise in 2028. Our skipper has visited the new team's facilities , and he could be making a big decision in the coming days. Is this a tragedy for Wests Tigers? Or, could it actually be a blessing? Both sides of the argument are put forward in our discussions about this still-developing story. As always, be sure to have your say on this hot topic on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum . Naturally, there's plenty of discussion about the game against the Raiders , including the impressive goal-line defence shown by our boys (well, when we had 13 on 13!). Api's potential suspension also falls under the microscope…
