Your better half!

[Tigermama]

My partner is a massive WT fan but not a forum member. Now and again he reads a few posts and on those rare occassions if he doesn't agree with a poster he would try to get me to post his opinion. Lol. I wink at him and tell him to sign up and express his own opinion himself.
What about your significant other? ( past and present ) Do they take an interest in the forum? Do they mind you spending time posting?
Are they WT fans or support another club?
Are they forum members?
Come on and share :wink:

My wonderful other half is one of those freaks who was born in Qld and supports NSW just to piss other Qlders off :rant :bash :deadhorse: :brick:

Someone may remember a Mrs Happy Tiger posting , not my wife but a friend of ours

I don't really know who she supported before meeting me but she had the hots for Brent Todd and Michael O'Connor and she loves watching us now She now likes Mitch Moses after seeing him up close

With my posting ,she's ok with it , she asks "are you talking to your boyfriends :laughing: "

She will occasionally read what I post , I got caught out on Friday when I asked Geo to be my valentine :laughing:

I can't post while the kids are not doing something if that makes sense

My previous other significant other (RIP) was banned from watching me play as I was always getting injured when she watched

 

[Tigermama]

Great post Happy :laughing: and funny too!

 

[Tim Sheens]

Keep up the good work Mrs Happy.

Have a family membership to encourage my other half, and she comes along to the occasional game but only because our son is coming with me. He is nearly five now and is asking me daily when are we going to see the Tigers again.

Intending on flying up for the Titans game, and have been keeping that weekend clear even though I have not mentioned it to the missus as yet.

Hold everything a new LEGEND has been discovered….

Mrs Happy...hoorah hoorah....

Anyone born in Qld and supports the mighty BLUES just to p..s off
Other Qlders is a deadset champion....

Three cheers for Mrs Happy..hip hip hip...

Last year my darling had the hide to walk past me while I was watching one of our bad games,and said...""your crap team playing crap footy again""...there's a fine line between love and divorce...

The funny thing is she comes from Campbelltown and her and the daughter both follow the Tiges,the boy loves Parra... :blah

My wife is from Europe and before meeting me had no experience with NRL. She is a good soccer player, plays weekly, and watches it occasionally although she doesn't follow any one team. She doesn't understand NRL rules or play and is not even slightly interested. I'm lucky if she sits down to watch five minutes of a game with me and then she just talks through it. She does come to live games but I think more for the experience and atmosphere, she doesn't have a clue whats going on.

Her attitude to the forum mirrors Happy's Mrs.

My son and I went to a game at Dairy Farmers in Townsville. He was about five at the time. I didn't know anything about seating at the stadium and we found ourselves sitting right in the middle of some very vocal Cowboys stalwarts.

It was my boy's first live game and we sat in steady drizzle watching the cup side getting hammered by the cowboys. Of course those around us made it clear who was winning.

In the break before the main game my boy asked me, Dad if we're losing really bad in the big game can I take my Tigers hat off? Sitting there soaking wet and obviously a bit intimidated, probably not the best introduction to live games. He kept his hat on, the Tigers won convincingly. The best way to quiet the crowd around us.

 

[cqtiger]

My wifey is a Wests Tigers member but not a forum member. She didn't really like any sports when we first met but of course that all changed.

I played grade cricket in Illawarra and she used to come and sit around all day watching me play. Then we'd all go back to the boozer for the night session.

I took her to a few Balmain games but I don't think she was instantly converted.

Roll the clock forward a life-time and 4 sons later and she is definitely a Wests Tigers convert. Like all women, she will sit there making little comment but still happy when the Tigers are copping a flogging while I probably would have stormed off disgusted into the night. How do they do it?

Still, she is my rock.

We still do everything together!
Well most everything, I draw the line when it comes to knitting classes.

Tell us what the atmosphere is like at your house when WT plays Parra TT? :sign:

A weekend on the gold coast? Awsome! She would love it. :slight_smile:

Similar here NT.
Mines from Asia, always saying ''…but I dont understand it..." despite me going thru the the basics of the rules with her. She has little interest in sport, thinks I'm ''obssessed'' when Im on the forum...same response whenever she asks what I been doing and I tell her ''on the net, talking footy''
I will bring her to some games this year - live footy might spark her interest more than TV I hope

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Wife is a Tigers fan, didn't have a team before she met me and didn't watch footy at all really.

Watches the games with me sometimes on telly, she prefers to come along and watch games live.

There's nothing like watching your team play live :wink: especially when there's a good crowd and a quality game.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Mines a Dragons fan. Though, i don't think she was that much of a die hard before we met, so as a result from attending a heap of games, she has told me she can see herself converting providing i put a ring on her finger.

 

[hobbo]

My wife's a Parra supporter .
She's been very quiet lately with the Parra / Tigers banter .

She reckons were all nut jobs on this forum :slight_smile:
But from time to time she will steal my phone and have a laugh !

On our wedding day I wore Tigers Socks ( along with a suit of course ) . She didn't know until we had our photos taken and I lifted my trouser leg .
:laughing:

Tigermama,when Tigers play Parra,I tell the boy to go to his room and watch it,especially if they are winning….

The lounge room is my space when Tiges are playing....
I don't need space invaders..ha ha ha ...

Your wife sounds like a women to be admired Happy.

I moved up here before my son was born and managed to remain immune to that Queenslanderitis bug that is such a problem up here , but not only that , I also managed to protect my wife from it.
My daughter who was born in Sydney , wavered a bit , but luckily ( with some crafty intervention by me) Was saved.
She and her two now grown up kids remain Blues Fans
My son was born at Southport hospital and I thought he was a lost cause, but he proved to be a tough fighter, and despite the lure of junior rep teams, decided to follow Balmain , Western Suburbs, and the Blues.
He now has a 6 year old daughter , and an 8 year old son, who both support WT's and the Blues, and despite never in their lives seeing them win (until last year) have stuck solid.
I admit the 6 yr old granddaughter was a hard sell , but we eventually turned her from Pepper Pig To Laurie and the boys .
She now proudly fronts up to SOO nights with her blues Jersey on and cheering madly.
So tell your intelligent wife that there's a patch of the Gold COast that will be forever Blue too.

My wife grew up in Vietnam, so had very little knowledge of sport before she met me. I've taught her my love of footy and cricket. While she likes sport, she still doesn't know how to cope when it all gets tight. She either gets very loud or just leaves the room.

She's been a WT member for the last couple years, once I got the family membership. She's never posted on this forum (to the best of my knowledge…).

 

[jirskyr]

My wife's a Scot, she picked up the rules pretty quickly because she has a fair understanding of rugby yawnion.

She's got a good eye for the game… she doesn't watch it regularly but she can read the dynamic of a game, make some astute observations. Downside is not really following any team, she is dispassionate and not biased enough towards the Tigers. "You guys are in trouble here, they've got you backpedalling every set" is not always helpful to hear, even if true.

She knows the drill by now - no inane questions or small talk during the game. In fact nothing besides footy whilst the game is going. My newer rule is to try not yell so much, it frightens my kid sometimes.
