The Wests Tigers' performance against the Dolphins at Suncorp Stadium was the very definition of mixed.

A poor start/first half, but then a spirited and much more determined second-half showing leaves us wondering just where this team is at.

That's one of the things we try and determine on this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast.

Joel Helmes, Garry Watson, and Eddie Otto go over the game looking at the things that made us happy and the things (and players) that frustrated us.

We look at the impact of missing Lachlan Galvin and the debut of young Latu Fainu.

And just how much did the short turnaround affect the performance of the Wests Tigers, especially (seemingly) in that first half.

Garry also has some details of a bonus edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast - an interview with the Mayor of the Inner West Council, Darcy Byrne.

Garry and Darcy talk Leichhardt Oval and what the future might hold for the famous ground in coming years.

There are details of this Sunday's Ambush event at the Beer Shed in Leumeah (we hope to see you there) and a shoutout for anyone still looking to join us on our coach trip to Bathurst the following week.

It wasn't a post-victory edition of the pod this time, but we still hope you enjoy our analysis of the Wests Tigers latest match.
