Fed up Wests Tigers fans resort to BURNING their jerseys as struggling NRL club remain winless

Fed up Wests Tigers fans reach their breaking point, jumping on the Dolphins bandwagon – and even BURNING their jerseys

  • Wests Tigers fans are fed up of their team losing
  • One tweeted a video burning his Tigers jersey
  • Others have given up, now follow other NRL clubs
  • Fan Kelly Hollis shared image of husband in Dolphins cap 

The loyalty of many Wests Tigers fans is being severely tested following their disastrous start in the NRL this season.

Despite recruiting the likes of Api Koroisau [Panthers], Isaiah Papali’i [Eels] and John Bateman [Wigan] in the off-season, the toothless Tigers have lost their first six games.

It follows ‘winning’ the wooden spoon last year – and some supporters of the struggling joint venture outfit have had enough.

Tigers fan Kelly Hollis tweeted an image of her 40-year-old husband – a Tigers fan from the age of nine – wearing a red Dolphins hat while walking the family dog on Saturday.

‘It honestly broke my heart,’ the accompanying post read – and it clearly resonated with many fellow fans.

Clayton Johns – also a long suffering Tigers supporter – shared a video of him burning his jersey out of frustration.

Another responded with ‘everyone has a breaking point’, with a fourth stating ’50 year [Tigers] supporter here….I’m seriously thinking of doing the same.’

The Tigers – who have the bye this weekend – face the Sea Eagles, Panthers, Dragons and Rabbitohs in their next four games.

Alarmingly, many footy fans believe they will fail to chalk up a victory before the State of Origin period.

The TAB are also offering punters odds of $29 for the Tigers to be winless this season.

Eastern Suburbs was the last team – in 1966 – to go through a campaign without singing the team victory song.
