The NRL off-season continues, but a big step has been taken this week in the return of the Wests Tigers for 2025.

Pre-season training has officially commenced and our star recruit has declared himself a Wests Tiger!

On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Garry and Nick to discuss the latest from Wests Tigers HQ at Concord.

Some of the topics up for discussion include the video message to Wests Tigers fans and members recorded by Jarome Luai in the UK. We talk about the four-time Premiership winner's entrance into the club and what it means to the club, team, and fans.

There has also been progress in appointing new independent board members to the Wests Tigers board. That important development is also put under the microscope on this edition of the pod.

The boys also discuss the latest on Wests Tigers player recruitment, in particular:

• The future of Jayden Sullivan at the Tigers
• The chances of landing discarded Rooster Terrell May
• The seemingly good chance that Kobe Hetherington will soon be a Tiger
• How do we fit Sione Fainu into a roster lacking free spaces

Then the discussion turns to the 20205 NRL draw, and in particular the best and worst case scenarios for our round one opponent.

And there is a quick round of Buy, Sell, or Hold with topics ranging from round one centres to Brent Naden and winning streaks.

We hope you enjoy this latest edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast and don't forget to join the discussion today on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.
