Jimmy Barnes is a huge Balmain fan but not so sure if he jumped on the jv bandwagon

I think theres a couple of australian cricketers that supposedly follow wests

kosta tzu used to claim to support balmain/wests but in recent years he seems to have become more of a celebrity fan for hire

Newtown have their share of famous fans - Tim Freedman has been seen at their games and the guys from frenzal rhomb are big supporters

 

[ThrashViking]

The Warriors have the Mad Butcher,Helen Clark & David Tua

Not OVERLY famous, but I know that Jon English is a HUGE Parra fan.

(He and Eric Grothe SNR wrote the music that goes under the 'Parra ch ch ch, Parra ch ch ch at the games)

 

[Dogs Of War]

Bulldogs - Steve Waugh

Mark Waugh is the Bulldogs fan, Steve is a wests fan from memory.

Ian Thorpe also supports the dogs, as well as former PM Paul Keating.

 

[The Colonel]

Actually both Waugh brothers follow the Dogs.....

 

[legend]

Steve Waugh is a Wests Tigers fan, only Mark supports the Dogs.

Apparently David Gallop and Jai Taurima go for the Raiders. Oh, and me too!

 

[Raider_69]

Dawn Fraser would have been about the biggest Tigers fan

Bill Harrigan supports the knights (he has never said it offically but you could always tell ;-) )

Hollywood Jesus will tell you he is the biggest celeb Parramatta supporter, others may say it is Bob Hawke.... :?

 

[Booyah]

Cronulla - Glenn McGrath, Elle and Mimi McPherson

 

[EdBurton]

Dawn Fraser would have been about the biggest Tigers fan

Harrigan indicated, during the Super League war when he wasn't refereeing, that he went for Souths. Ever since then he's been Phenominally hard on Souths when refereeing so he could never be accused of being biased towards them....

 

[eastsrule]

read his biography. he's a souths man. (harrigan)

 

[syphon]

sharks - ET?

Susie O'Neill, Keiren Perkins - Brisbane
Ken Arthurson, Wendy Harmer - Manly
Alan Jones, Andrew Denton - Souths
Bob Carr, Michael Clarke - Wests Tigers
Molly Meldrum, Ms.Storm - Storm

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Bob Carr- Wests Tigers

I find it very hard to accept Bob Carr being any kind of sports fan. If he supported a league team, he would know SOO was NSW v Qld, not NSW v Vic......lol
