The opening ceremony is on Friday so they would have to be leaving say Thursday morning…it's now Sunday.
Just announce the team..You know who's going and who's not.
Why do we always have to be last in announcing our teams.
In regards to Tuesday team announcements, the NRL mandates, and also incentivises, clubs to have a certain amount of digital content - both video and photo - on their websites. The way the Tigers do it, they integrate player sponsors in the announcement video, the same way the team is read out on game day. For sponsors, this is extra exposure for which the club gains extra revenue from.
Basically, the Tigers digital team spend Tuesday afternoon putting together the announcement video to not only ensure the club meets their requirements from the NRL, but to please sponsors as well. If you want to point a finger, point it to the video editors, not at the coach.
