Explorez tous les épisodes du podcast WTF – Wests Tigers Faithful

We're back.

Apologies on last week.

We review the games we missed, look ahead to NRLW's maiden finals appearance and chat thru the WT-related news circling about the media at present.

The boys have their first proper brouhaha in some time over marquee players, the perception of Wests Tigers and whether the club will be able to have a pop at anyone in free agency and come up trumps.

Jersey Flegg's final against Cronulla tomorrow is also top billing, as is the NRLW fixture against the Titans on Sunday.

This is a good one. Reedie here: Points go to Mac on the argument in retrospect, but keen to hear thoughts.

Adel Hage joins us for his WTF debut in the absence of Joe McCord. There's plenty of chat around his assessment of first grade's season, his excitement for NRLW and Jersey Flegg, and perhaps a club debutant to arrive this weekend? Tune in for more.

Ahead of Jersey Flegg's 'play in' against Souths, the boys put a few of the regular squad members in tiers and offer some insights, before talking thru junior recruitment and its various nuances.

NRL, NRLW and NSW Cup (and Josh Schuster debut) previews ensue afterward.

A WINCAST.

Finally. 

In the words of the great Matty G: "Enjoy this one tigers fans."

It's a week in which Reedie is miles off the pace and Mac is at his brilliant best. We chat Benji getting help, the need for an experienced Director of Football and preview all the WT-affiliated games for the weekend ahead.

We're back with another Benji Marshall debate, this time Reedie's got his knickers in a twist.

And how good are the girls?

Friday afternoon brings conversations regarding squad building, rumoured players and the Fainu brothers, plus a preview of the Dragons game which includes an intro to Solomone Saukuru for those not yet introduced.

Hello and welcome back.

As regular programming resumes, Mac discusses why he's taken to social media with his Back the Bunj campaign.

We also chat wins in NRLW and Jersey Flegg and dissect the ugly loss at the hands of the North Sydney Bears in NSW Cup.

Not getting any easier is it.

Another media masterclass from one Benjamin Quentin Marshall brings analysis and critical thought from the boys.

We preview all four grades (Reedie's tipped a win in all four – jeez) and Mac gives a talk on reality transurfing.

How good! 

Nah in all seriousness this is a good one. Benji, his staff, the roster, the club. Let's discuss.

Ah fuck.

A largely different format tonight as the boys deliver their monologues, answer some quickfire Qs and review the NSW Cup game first before NRL (and that horrific loss), NRLW and Jersey Flegg follow.

Thanks for sticking with us, ladies and gents. Hang in there. We love ya. 

He's back. 

Lots to discuss. Some of it good, some of it not. 

This was fun. Best of luck to the lads and lasses this weekend.

Back again with Robstradamus for another episode as we unpack the Warriors game and what went wrong, the pressing issues at Camp Concord and our outlook for the rest of the year. Pathways (where we got mogged) entails.

Our great mate Rob Bechara takes co-hosting duties alongside Reedie to dissect the news of Jarome Luai departing Wests Tigers at the end of the year. The boys discuss the fallout, what's going on behind closed doors and what it means for season 2027 and beyond.

The lads briefly preview the Warriors game and fly thru Pathways before Rob heads out for the game In the 60.

Hopefully we've got you before kickoff!

Welcome home. Sit, take a seat, begin to box breathe.

Season over. RIP, Wests Tigers' NRL Season 2026. Therapy commence.

Mac joins us from minute one of the episode as we get his thoughts on Tupou, Schuster and the state of the roster. He then asks Reedie (named Joe McCord for you viewers) a compelling question on how we fit all of the adlays onto the park in first grade if all goes well with their development.

We then preview the Dragons game and try to be positive despite our preconceived notions. Cup and Flegg preview ensues, albeit without Joe McCord.

That was terrible.

Time to front up and take a tough carry.

Mac joins the show eight mins in or thereabouts.

AD's back, tell a friend.

Reedie rides solo on a Friday night, answering questions in the YouTube Live on Jake Averillo, Junior Tupou, Josh Schuster and the game against Newcastle on Sunday afternoon, headlined by the return of Adam Doueihi.

The boys dissect the Dolphins L and assess whether it's season over for our first grade lads (spoiler: it ain't). Some great pathways wins is the catalyst for some excellent discussion. Starford To'a's transfer to Manly is also discussed.

Origin. Israel Folau. Dolphins. Pathways.

What've they got in common?

We talk about em in this ep. In that order.

Run it up.

A magical Sunday in which the Wests Tigers returned to winning ways for the last time at Leichhardt Oval for the next 18 months, the Socceroos conquered the Turks and the Wests Magpies embarked on a training run against the Sydney Roosters in the NSW Cup was had only just yesterday.

We review the day that was in the episode above. Chur.

Friday night fever sweeps the lads as Reedie reports in live from his shitty iPhone and Mac from Pinch HQ. They talk player recruitment and retention, the 'shopping' of Starford To'a, Royce Hunt & Alex Seyfarth, plus a review of the game against the Gold Coast Titans and games for NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg against the Chooks.

See title above.

0-3 in all three grades. How the turn tables.

Group therapy: Commence.

Happy King's Birthday Weekend, well at least for now.

The lads talk Jake Averillo, Royce Hunt's mooted departure and Manase Fainu's potential acquisition pending various hoops.

Next comes the Penrith preview in all grades. The lads are dubious, but where there's life there's hope.

Every. Single. Grade.

The boys are back in force with their second-ever Wincast© on WTTV.

A win in all of those grades against Gus' runts means plenty to review, plus news breaking on Jake Averillo to discuss as well.

Let's have it. 

Reedie's riding solo tonight with Mac MIA previewing live the match against the Bulldogs. Effectively talking to himself, Reedie runs thru Origin, the news regarding Samuela Fainu's extension and the potential repercussions, whether his brother Manase is a genuine chance of lobbing at the club once released from prison, plus a hefty, HEFTY Q&A session.

The mid-year bye means it’s that time of the year again where we review Wests Tigers’ 2026 season to this point. We talk through our feelings, the best wins and worst losses, conduct a SWOT analysis and look ahead. A squad audit also ensues. 

You’re probably all gonna hate it, but that’s half the fun. Let’s rip it.

Another Magic Round awaits Wests Tigers and Joe McCord against the Manly Warringah Seagulls as former ARLC Commissioner John Grant once called them.

We preview said match and discuss the retention of Sunia Turuva and Heamasi Makasini and give our current administration a wrap. A NSW Cup is also included within the confines of this episode.

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.

Mac's away (not for the entirety) this week as Reedie's dad, Clayton fills the seat for his second appearance on the pod.

We review the Broncos game, work thru what can make us great, some key stats, preview the upcoming Canberra game before the rapid Riley Oitmann joins us for a chat.

Special thanks to the Bookie Concierge!

It's a who's who of Wests Tigers-affiliated podcasters as Kelly Hollis (Hear Her Roar), The NRL Fanatic (Heart of the Jungle), Mort (Win, Learn or Draw) and Joel Helmes (Wests Tigers Podcast) join Mac and Reedie for a good old fashioned love in after Wests Tigers exorcised their three in a row demons with a classy win against the Newcastle Knights.

They talk through the season so far, their predictions for the future, preview the match against Brisbane and even Reedie gets five mins to talk thru pathways.

Easily one of our favourites ever. Enjoy!

A vicious win against a spirited Parramatta outfit has the lads feeling BUOYANT. They talk thru the press' newfound positivity around the club, Wests Tigers' greatest ever prop, the upcoming match against Newcastle and end on pathways. 

Eight years since three on the bounce. Is this the week?

Mac and Reedie open with a tribute to the late Noah Johannssen and remember the great man himself.

We review the Grand Final wins of both the Andrew Johns and Laurie Daley Cup sides, lookover one of the great WT wins against the Wahs and look towards Parra before reviewing the remaining Pathways grades.

Wests Tigers Faithful's 2026 #1 Draft Pick Logan Brookes (Deninger) joins the show in media res to chat about just about everything, namely his love of old school rap.

We review the Souths calamity, preview the upcoming Warriors calamity and dissect our pathways sides as LD and AJ Cup march toward their respective big dances.

Mac and Reedie are in the same room together for the first time recording since they got obliterated at the 2024 Wests Tigers Faithful Christmas Party.

Fair to say much has changed since then. 

They delve thru the Bronson Xerri and Scott Drinkwater links, review the Cowboys game and look to the game against Souths. Can Sunia Turuva do enough against Latrell? Will we outscore our opponents? We try to dissect.

Pathways, as always, follows. Five bloody teams to cover. Bit much, eh?

Presave 'Strangers' by Punchakoala here: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/punchakoala/strangers

Nearly there.

Some contract news and views, some expansion chat way off kilter ensues, before we preview the upcoming game against the Cowboys. 

Pathways follows with a similar preview for Flegg & Cup plus a reviews of the games for SG Ball and Harold Matts, Laurie Daley and Andrew Johns Cup.

A Bye in Round 1 (thanks PVL) means we've had to pivot, and in doing so we've come up with the idea of interviewing Reedie's boss and former Wests Tigers Media Manager, Dan Talintyre. 

DT runs us through his time at WT and how it shaped him, his time with Madge and Ivan Cleary and how he thinks the boys will fare in 2026.

Additionally, we wrap the WT Club Day that went down last weekend.

Lots to discuss this week as we dissect the trial against the Panthers. Is this the year?

We preview and predict the seasons of every NRL club as well, which was fun. Mac's blind rankings are something to behold.

Pathways bringing up the rear as always.

Back again for another week as we review the trial match against the Chooks, talk tactics, player movement news & quickly dissect pathways.

End song: Dad Tan by Punchakoala

Hello you beautiful bastards.

We're so back.

Player movements, pathways, trial previews, standard rot chat. You know the drill.

We've missed you.

Title says it all. Not particularly happy. Dunno when we'll be back other then to vent.

The boys are back to talk through everything that's happened since the loss to the Titans and review the 2025 season in their 50th episode. There's plenty of rust and double that in shit talk. All the best. Good to have y'all back.

We told you this one was coming!

Mac and Joel Helmes run thru all the best and brightest prospects we've got running around in the pathways in this special episode. We can't thank Joel enough for his time, truly one of the greats.

Enjoy!
