So I was watching the Matty John's Show after Monday's game and I heard Tallis say that during halftime at Leichardt on Sunday the Tigers supports in the members stand stood up, turned to the coaches box and gave JT a around of applause. Now I was there, I was in the members stand (Bay 3 pretty close to the coaches box), I was standing and I was clapping / cheering but I was most definitely not facing JT.
This makes me wonder how much of the off the field drama we've endured over the last few years is caused by the fact that WT media management at every level is so poor and the administration still cannot except that we are Wests Tigers, Balmain and Western Suburbs are gone. This causes issues internally and allows the media to drive the narrative in whichever direction serves them, which generally means the direction that causes the most damage to the club.
