Injury Gods Send More Pain to Wests Tigers

Wests Tigers have again suffered injuries, with another two players set to miss game time, a theme that has run through so much of this season. Kicking off the season in such style, almost every match that the Wests Tigers have played this season has seen at least one key player come away injured, and this seems to be the primary reason why missing the finals again looks a real chance.

Is it simply bad luck? Is it a curse? Or is this something that is a result of us being improperly prepared for the rigours of NRL 2026? We talk about that issue on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.

Also up for discussion between Joel, Nick and Josh are some of the main turning points in that 36-22 loss to the Dolphins at Campbelltown Stadium on Saturday evening. A few guys get some big wraps, but despite a solid effort, the guys fell short against a team that looks near certainties for a top four finish.

There's also an update regarding the future of Jake Averillo, and we discuss the ongoing use of Heamasi Makasini and how he might need a break, or at least some time in NSW Cup.We run our eye over the NSW Cup player that may get a debut with the injury to Patrick Herbert, Solomone Saukuru.

Join us for a look at all the 'One Word' responses to the Dolphins game on the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum as well. And hear about the movie stars that one member of the podcast has been rubbing shoulders with!

Thanks for your support, and we'll catch you mid-week for the next edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.
