After an eye-catching recruitment drive in the off-season that saw the likes of Jarome Luai and Terrell May brought to the club, there was a new sense of optimism at Concord.
The Wests Tigers had slumped to another wooden spoon in 2024 and then had to undergo a controversial spell as Lachlan Galvin and Tallyn Da Silva both engineered their exits from the club mid-season.
Benji Marshall managed to steer the ship away from the rocks though and had his side playing some entertaining footy as they climbed up the ladder in 2025.
