Episode Notes
The 2025-26 Wests Tigers pre-season is just commencing, with players starting to return to training this week. One of the players set to sweat it out at Concord over the summer months is young fullback Jack Attard.
Considered the heir apparent to champion Penrith fullback Dylan Edwards, Attard has ditched the Panthers and come across to our club on a three-year deal. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, we dive into what this means for our current fullback Jahream Bula.
Bula, managed by Isaac Moses (who has a rocky history with the Wests Tigers), is in the midst of contract negotiations, and there are concerns that he may be heading elsewhere. So, is Attard a contingency? An insurance plan? We take a deep dive into that issue on this edition.
Joining Joel on this podcast are the boys from Tiger Town, Zac and Toby, as well as Jordan, Declan, and Nick.
Other topics up for debate include the new gear supply deal with Canterbury Sportswear. With Steeden moving on, Canterbury will soon have a new-look Wests Tigers jersey for us, and we've already seen a fresh training shirt look as well. The boys discuss expectations and hopes for the new-look Wests Tigers jersey.
Nathan Brown also pops up for a bit of a discussion with reports continuing to link the veteran prop to a farewell season or two with the Tigers.
And then we get into the meat and potatoes topic of this podcast - the 2026 Wests Tigers team. With a full house of contributors on board, we look at the contentious selection areas for round one and beyond, including Wing, Lock, Prop, and Bench Utility.
There are also a couple of bold predictions, including the potential inclusion of highly touted young Wests Tigers stars, such as Ethan Roberts, Javon Andrews, Phoenix Godinet, and Heamasi Makasini.
