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 (https://www.weststigers.com.au/) 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 (https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2026/10/02/wests-tigers-sign-kurt-mann-for-2027-season/), the addition of Jayden Brailey and Jake Averillo, and the likely signing of Knights duo James Schiller (https://www.zerotackle.com/wests-tigers-set-to-land-surprise-signing-for-2027-238846/) 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 (https://www.youtube.com/@weststigerspodcast3369) and look forward to your comments regarding the Wests Tigers topics we've discussed.

Wests Tigers - Better Than Last Year?
🐯 Wests Tigers Podcast – Episode 494.
Wests Tigers Season 2026 Verdict.
8 wins. 16 losses. 15th place.
The 2026 season is finally over — and after the 38-10 loss to Penrith, the big question is:
ARE THE WESTS TIGERS ACTUALLY BETTER OFF THAN THEY WERE 12 MONTHS AGO?
Api says they are. But are they?
We asked the WTP Forum for ONE WORD to describe the season…
💥 SHITE
💥 ATROCITY
💥 DISSOLVED
💥 DONE
💥 DERAILED
💥 LATU
…and one fan simply said “nothing.”
😬 Harsh? Or fair?
Nick and Josh go through the Panthers loss and ask some BIG questions about where this club is heading:
🏉 Is Latu Fainu the answer in the halves?
💪 How much experience and depth does this squad really need?
🔥 Are Skelton and Tupou genuine 2027 contenders?
🐯 What did we learn from Vaka Aho’s debut?
📉 8 wins in 2026 compared with 9 wins in 2025 — are we actually progressing?
🤔 And was Api right when he said the Tigers have “left the place in a better position than last year”?
Then there’s the Panthers game itself — 26-0 at half-time, some seriously questionable defensive decisions, and a second-half fightback that briefly gave us something to talk about.
But here’s the question we REALLY want answered:
👇 ONE WORD.
What is YOUR one word to describe the 2026 Wests Tigers season?
And the second one…
👇 Are we genuinely better off than we were a year ago — YES or NO?
Have your say below. We know this one is going to divide Tigers fans!

Wests Tigers Approaching the Finish Line
🐯 **Wests Tigers Podcast – Episode 493**
The future of the Wests Tigers could be taking shape — and South-West Sydney is right at the heart of it!
The Tigers have committed to six games at Campbelltown in 2027, with the possibility of seven from 2029 as part of a huge 15-year agreement. Is this finally the club planting its flag in South-West Sydney? And what does it mean for the Leichhardt identity and the old Wests v Balmain debate?
We also look at the $50 million Campbelltown Stadium redevelopment, where that mystery home game should be played, and whether Campbelltown can become a genuine Tigers fortress.
Plus:
🔥 Jersey Flegg finals — can the young Tigers keep their season alive?
🇵🇬 Romey’s PNG visit — was it really an issue, and what does it say about the club?
💯 Terrell May’s 100th NRL game
🐯 Vaka Aho’s NRL debut — an eight-year pathway journey finally pays off
🏉 Panthers v Tigers — can the Tigers erase the memory of that 68-0 humiliation?
🔮 And of course… our score prediction!
Nick and Josh tackle all of that and plenty more in Episode 493 of the Wests Tigers Podcast.
