It would be like Tigers fans attacking Benji because he played at other clubs.



I tend to still look fondly upon them, except when they play Penrith.

Although I do recall seeing this on one occasion happening.

Many years ago Preston Campbell coming back to Penrith in a Titians jersey for the first time. It would have been about 2005 or 6.

Many in the crowd stood as one to acknowledge who and what he did for the Penrith club. (this happened when the Titians team came out for warm up)
It was like Penrith saying a very large thank you, for all of your efforts through the years, in our jersey.

I've not been to games since 2020, (because of my health). But I wouldn't be shocked to see similar when Fish or Luai come back to play.

Obviously once the game started, Campbell was seen as the enemy.

Also you will always get one or two fools, who carry on like pork chops when a player leaves, as per te news ltd article.

I always wish an ex player well if they put in in our jersey and dont bag the club on the way out. I was really happy to see Luke Garner win a comp and love seeing Harry Grant having success. I was surprised that Brooks was booed at Lecihhardt, however being at the ground it was only a small section of the crowd, just a very vocal small section. I definitely didnt boo the guy.

I have no doubt that 95% of Penrith fans wish Jarome well, however it wouldn't surprise me if deep down a lot of them would take some sense of delight if he did stink it up here and be looked on a failure. I also dont think for a second that if something as far fetched as the Tigers making the finals and Penrith not happens in a couple of years time that Penrith fans will be cheering him on, particularly if the media makes a massive deal about it. Theres not anything wrong with that, its human nature. I absolutely hated watching Tedesco win comps in 19/20 and I never realy had anything against the guy.
