It's been nine long, frustrating years since the Tigers last contested the NRL finals. In three of the past five seasons, the club has finished where no one wants to be – in ninth place. Last year they finished 11th.
New faces James Tamou, James Roberts and Joe Ofahengaue bring 521 games of NRL experience following the departures of club legends Benji Marshall and Chris Lawrence.
Coach Michael Maguire has handed Panthers recruit James Tamou the Tigers captaincy. It's a job the big man will relish but this season will be tough for the Tigers to crack the top eight.
If you want to catch the Tigers this season, you will need to strongly consider a Foxtel or Kayo Sports subscription. Overall the Tigers have 13 games on Fox League and just 11 on Channel 9 in the 2021 schedule.
If you are yet to check it out, Kayo has a 14-day free trial. We have also put together a Kayo vs Foxtel guide so you can see how they compare.
A Basic subscription to Kayo is $25 a month and gives you access to two devices. For $35 a month you can get a third screen. It also has a number of features such as SplitView, where you can watch four sports at once, Interactive Stats, Kayo Minis and No Spoilers.
All up, Kayo has more than 50 sports on offer and you can check out our full review of the newcomer on the Australian sporting scene. We have a guide on how to stream the 2021 NRL season, including the providers.
If you are planning to be outside Australia at any time during the league season, you can still watch Tigers games using the Watch NRL app. Check out our full guide on streaming the 2021 NRL season from overseas for more information.

To put it bluntly, the Tigers have drifted just outside of the NRL contenders for far too long, having not made the finals in nine years. With a proven coach and a reasonably settled roster, it's time for results on the pitch. That memorable 2005 premiership triumph is now just a distant memory.
Under the leadership of Tamou, the Tigers should be more than competitive in 2021. And hopefully Jimmy "The Jet" Roberts will be soaring again with another fresh start.
