No no no no no... y'all just don't get it.
We start with a dozen top grade eggs, ok!
Prior to the JV both sets of fans had their own team to cheer for.
After the merger Wests still have the Magpies in NSW Cup, but Balmain don't have the Tigers anymore, so all you can do is throw all your eggs into the WT's bucket.
Magpies on the other hand are lucky enough to be able to share their eggs into 2 buckets if they choose, and any way they choose.
Some Magpie fans choose to put all their eggs into the WT's bucket while some put all their eggs into the Magpies bucket only.
The third alternative is to put some into both buckets, and why not for Magpie fans.
Why reject the team you have followed for many years as they are still alive and kicking.
But the WT's play in the NRL while the Magpies don't, so if you want to watch NRL on TV and on the radio [maybe you live in a regional area as I do] you have to follow WTs.
Now it's time to split the eggs up.
Some will put 8 into the WT's bucket but choose to still remain loyal to the Magpies by putting the remaining 4 into their bucket.
We are loyal Wests Tigers fans with the added advantage of still having the Magpies to follow, but in most cases not with the same intensity as when following the Magpies only, as an 8 egg intensity has gone to WTs.
I hope this is all as clear as mud 😉 so there will be no need to argue anymore, ok?
