I've been a Balmain Tigers supporter for over 20 years.
Used to have a season ticket to Leichhardt Oval.
Was at the '88 & '89 grand finals.
Heartbreaking.
Also was disgusted at the mess that Alan Jones made during his pathetic & disastrous time as "coach".
My Dad was also a Tigers fan, going back to the 1950s, he used to sit on the hill at Leichhardt Oval & cheer them on. I wish he was still here to see them play so well this year & win the grand final.
What a great young team, they played very well in attack & defence. Really exciting stuff.
Congratulations to master coach Tim Sheens & all the players & support staff.
I'm very happy.
Also having a thought for Laurie Nicholls.
