The Wests Tigers enter the 2024 season being the only side in NRL history to finish last on the ladder, only for their following year to be even worse. The Tigers finished 17th last season with Api Koroisau, Isaiah Papali’i and John Bateman at the club, now the additions of veteran halfback Aidan Sezer and star international centre Justin Olam to the squad put further pressure on the club to succeed in 2024.
Can rookie head coach and club legend Benji Marshall rally his Tigers troops and avoid winning a third wooden spoon in a row?
Will Tim Sheens be able to unite a club often torn by in house fighting and media scrutiny to take the Tigers back to the NRL Finals?

Best Wests Tigers bets for NRL 2024
There are dozens of NRL futures markets for Wests, but where are they likely to return some real value?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- The Tigers are rank outsiders to win the 2024 NRL premiership in 2024 ($101) after being $51 chances in 2023. The clubs odds have worsened following their below-expectation performances in 2023 and their minimal roster improvements for the upcoming season.
- The Tigers are $3 chances to be the side that suffers the most losses in 2023 which appears to be a solid value bet. Other clubs like the Dragons, Bulldogs and Dolphins have made far better recruitments in the off-season to go with their stronger 2023 seasons. If the Tigers do not improve sharply, they will win the wooden spoon again in 2024.
- If the Tigers are to have any chance of winning in 2024, they need to design their game plan around new strike centre Justin Olam being their leading try scorer. Olam is stronger and harder to tackle than most in the NRL. He is a completely different body shape to most, a shorter, stockier type that is also agile and skilful. $13 is another great value bet for Olam to be the leading try scorer at his new club.

Wests players to watch in 2024
Jahream Bula
Born: 30/1/2002
Games: 19
Tries: 5
Position: Fullback
Jahream Bula had a breakout season in 2023 running for 160m per game, recording several line breaks and try assists, as well as scoring five tries. Typically, debutants of the NRL suffer from ‘second-year syndrome’ where they struggle to adjust to the full-time, week-in week-out rigours of playing first-grade football. In his short career, Bula has already played for Fiji in the 2023 Pacific Championship and signed a long-term deal to stay at the Tigers until 2027. Fans and administrators will be hoping this is enough to ensure consistently strong performances into the future.
Justin Olam
Born: 23/12/1993
Games: 104
Tries: 46
Position: Centre
Justin Olam will play a key role, not only in attack with this Tigers side, but in the middle third of the field with his ball carrying. Strong carry’s from the Tigers end by Olam will make life easier for the forwards to get onside and reduce the amount of extra work they do between sets. If Olam can carry the ball strongly along with his teammates, he will be a very important pickup for this side.
Stefano Utoikamanu
Born: 15/5/2000
Games: 55
Tries: 8
Position: Prop
Stefano Utoikamanu is entering his fifth season the NRL as a highly-touted future leader of the Tigers. So far in his career, partially due to injury, Utoikamanu has struggled to live up to the lofty expectations that have been set. If he continues to fail at the Tigers, this may be his last season at the club.

- There were 22 first-grade teams when the Super League and the ARL merged at the end of the 1997 season. In a bid to keep the fixture list manageable, the newly formed NRL announced it would scale back the division to 14 teams by 2000. As some of those places were reserved for new interstate franchises, several of Sydney’s traditional teams were forced to sacrifice their heritage for the sake of survival.
Balmain and Western Suburbs were two of NSW Rugby League’s nine foundation clubs. The Tigers were a powerhouse of Sydney first-grade footy, winning 11 premierships between 1908 and 1969. Wests won all of their four flags before the 1960s. Both clubs were starved of success by the time the ’90s rolled around, which made them prime candidates for exclusion from a national comp.
It soon became apparent that a merger was the only way to go. The Tigers fielded offers from several teams, including the Parramatta Eels and the now-defunct Gold Coast Chargers. Meanwhile, clubs such as Penrith and Canterbury viewed the Magpies as an easy way to boost their supporter bases in Sydney’s western suburbs. Both Balmain and Wests recognised those proposals for what they were: predatory buyouts.
Instead, the two clubs pooled their resources to create a genuine joint-venture partnership. Wests Tigers debuted in 2000 and broke the twin curses of Balmain and Western Suburbs in 2005, when they blasted their way from the bottom of the ladder to the flag in one of the most memorable premiership campaigns in rugby league history.
