I thought I would provide a bit of an update on yesterday for those interested. Billy and Shawn arrived at 2.30pm (weren't meant to be there until 3.00pm) They were very engaging and chatted and mingled with Wests Tigers supporters that had already arrived.
Just after 3.00pm we had our chat with Shawn and Billy which lasted for over 20 mins on stage answering a range of questions about their background in Rugby League, career highlights, Madge's coaching style, Tamou as a leader, the poor start to the season, key areas of the upcoming game etc. They were very engaging, funny and gave very detailed responses that went beyond your standard answers. Shawn is definitely a future leader of our club.
After the onstage section of the afternoon was over both players went back to mingling and chatting with people in attendance.
During the halftime break Shawn and Billy returned to the stage to discuss the first half and what the team needed to do to get away with the win.
Overall it was a really good day, Billy and Shawn were hugely impressive and spent 2 and a half hours with us which was very generous. They put up with a nobody fan conducting interviews with them and were very accomodating of all in attendance. Our very own @boonboon won the major prize of tickets to next weekends game.
If anyone from here that was in attendance was willing to provide feedback to the club that may assist in ensuring we can get similar support for events in the future.
Thank you for everyone here who supported the event by attending or just contributing here, it is greatly appreciated.
