## Resource

It's not easy being green, well, we reckon sometimes it's harder being our famous colours! The Wests Tigers slumped to a third straight loss at the weekend, this time outclassed by Manly in Magic Round by 46-18 . In a team full of guys that try hard, but just don't have the size, speed, and class of the guys they are deputising for, Manly probably outplayed the Tigers in every aspect. On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast , Joel, Declan, and Josh put the game under the microscope. Some of the main talking points across this edition of the podcast also include: Does Jarome Luai deserve some of the harsh criticism he's been copping? Madden injured? Who comes into the halves? Herbert suspended, who plays centre? How much did we miss Alex Twal? Are there any other fullback options other than Mason? Do we now go to market for a centre with Taylan May gone for the year? Of course, we also share our own 'One Word' submissions, and all those received from members of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum . Keep your chin up, Wests Tigers fans, we get a much-needed week off and have some classy players on the cusp of an NRL return.
