The 2010 Wests Tigers season is the eleventh in the joint-venture club's history, competing in the National Rugby League's 2010 Telstra Premiership.

The Wests Tigers had an exciting start to the season, winning the first four of five games to lead the competition with St George Illawarra, Melbourne Storm and the Gold Coast Titans.

Recruitment

The Wests Tigers first try of the season was scored by new recruit, Lote Tuqiri, with his first touch of the ball in their round one win over the Manly Sea Eagles at the Aussie Stadium. Back-rower Liam Fulton returned from a season in Super League and former Sydney Roosters prop forward Jason Cayless[1] also joined the club after a four-year stay at St Helens RLFC. Mark Flanagan joined the club from Super League side Wigan.

Robbie Farah, the team's hooker, retained his role as captain of the side for the second year.

Head Coach, Tim Sheens, extended his contract with the Wests Tigers to the end of the 2011 season.[2]
