'IT’S FOR A PAYCHECK NOT A PREMIERSHIP’: Let’s get real about the Chiefs’ recruitment

August 24, 2026 · 29 min

Show notes

The Wests Tigers snapped an eight-game losing streak with a stunning upset over the Sydney Roosters. The panel debates whether there’s a genuine pulse at Concord, and asks if the Chooks' lethargic effort is a major red flag heading into finals. Andrew Webster’s squad proved their premiership credentials with an unstoppable power game. The crew dissects their forward dominance, bench depth, and the cold-blooded field goal move to snatch the top spot on the ladder over Penrith. Plus, a heated debate on who really deserves Coach of the Year! Joey Manu becomes the latest superstar to sign with the PNG Chiefs! The panel peels back the layers on PNG’s star-studded roster, sorting hype from reality. They clear up salary cap market value rules, tax-free contract outrage, and whether marquee signings are chasing glory or massive payouts.
