Wests Tigers Statement
Wests Tigers would like to respond to reports of unfortunate crowd behaviour at Sunday’s game against the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium.
During the pre-game team announcement a small number of fans were booing Captain Aaron Woods
Wests Tigers find this behaviour incredibly disappointing and are calling on Members and fans to support all players in the team.
Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe said he understood that some supporters were disappointed with recent news but called on them to continue to support all players.
“We love the passion that our Members and fans show week in, week out, but ask that this passion is directly at the players in a positive way,” said Pascoe. “Aaron is our Captain, a local junior and again showed tonight his character in his professionalism and dedication to his team mates.
“Our Captain Aaron Woods led from the front last night and I’d like to take this opportunity to commend him for his actions,” he said. “We’re proud of every member of the team tonight and are sure that our supporters feel the same way.”
Wests Tigers Chair Marina Go echoed Pascoe’s sentiments.
“I’d like to thank our Members and supporters for their ongoing support of our club during this time,” said Go. “At the same time I’d like to call on them to support all of our players, whether they are going to be with Wests Tigers beyond this year or not.
“Every player that pulls on the Wests Tigers jersey puts his all into every performance and they deserve the support of all Wests Tigers supporters,” she said. “I look forward to supporting all players again on Saturday night at Leichhardt Oval.
