It's been a bit of a roller-coaster ride for fans of the Wests Tigers in recent weeks and this latest edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast represents that.

As the heat of Summer starts to hit, the Wests Tigers continue to be in the headlines, and this time around it's all about the contracts of some of the club's most valuable players.

How these details came to be in the media remains a whole other thing!

Joel is joined by Steve, Nick, and Garry to look at a rumour that broke last night - Lachlan Galvin having apparently re-signed a new deal with the club (still yet to be anything other than a rumour).

But then there is a look at the revelation Jarome Luai could start to negotiate with other clubs in just 11 months!

The four-time Premiership winner is coming to the Tigers on a five-year deal, but with player options for the final three years of that contract, and that news has hit a lot of us for six!

Should the club have disclosed these terms when he signed? Does it make him any less committed to the cause? And how will the media target this when/if things get tough next year and beyond? We discuss all that.

There are similar terms and conditions built into Jahream Bula's contract too (also leaked to the media by unknown sources last week), we put this situation under the microscope too.

On a brighter note, we talk about the signing of the club's biggest-ever sponsorship with a new major sponsor, Pepper Money.

We take a close look at the encouraging comments made by our new recruit Terrell May on the James Graham podcast, have another quick look at back row options for 2025 and this brings up some Brandon Smith discussion too.

We hope you enjoy this big off-season edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast and welcome your feedback via the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum.

With 2025 just around the corner the Wests Tigers Podcast wakes up from it's offseason hibernation to discuss all the news coming out of Concord, well some of the team does. Garry is joined by Declan and Nick to chat about what has been an eventful past few weeks.

The boys give their one words for the offseason so far, Declan and Nick then get a chance to give their thoughts on the latest big-name recruit with Terrell May recently joining the club.

The conversation then turns to the re-signing of key forward Fonua Pole, speculation was that he was on his way out of the club and headed to the Storm. The team discuss what he will add to the squad over the coming seasons.

The guys then look at the squad leading into 2025 and compare the team to what we had in 2024, has there been improvements in the forwards and backs in the last 12 months?

Next up is a game of Buy Sell or hold with a range of topics discussed.

To finish out the pod is a discussion centred on the Pepper Money signing up as the new major sponsor for the club and the release of the new season 25 jersey.
