Can we collectively take our heads out of our arse and move on
I agree magpie guy, I can't believe this has gone to 3 pages. But before we go, I want to say.
Maybe the Tigers should have in their contracts that teams must support other teams whenever possible.
I stated on another thread a couple of years back how I was surprised all of the Bulldogs 1st grade squad at Leichhardt Oval to watch the NSW Cup team play Balmain Ryde in a semi final, game. Made the effort to do a lap and have a good look in the stands to see what West Tigers 1st grade player was there to watch the NSW Cup team, I only saw Andrew Fifita and he was there to support his brother no doubt. Did see Sheens though.
My point is, I think it is a better look if the 1st grade team supports both the NSW Cup and U20's team during the finals series (2013), if the schedules allow it.
In the season proper, it is not something the 1st grade team can normally do, support the NSW Cup team but when the schedule allows, they should support each other, same with the U20 guys supporting the 1st grade team.
But hey, nothing wrong with giving players permission not to.
