Yeah, for folks who first started watching rugby league from 1990 onwards, it's very difficult, psychologically, to adjust to Wests or the Tigers or Wests Tigers being successful at anything. I mean, those two teams, and for most of the life of the merged team, were once a betting man's best friend - so utterly consistent in their failure. As a league supporter, that they are in the finals, makes you feel yucky and makes September (traditionally the month of champions) feel like mid season.broncoman said:

I must be the only Queenslander going for the Tigers but this is how I see it.
The Cowboys were the shock side of 2004 and it was great watching an underachieving outfit do so well and reward their many many crazy fans. I think everyone secretely enjoyed watching it
This year it's the Tigers. For my entire lifetime Balmain and the magpies have been woeful and they've been slowly buying some quality players and it's paying off. They have been great all season, are brilliant to watch and have beaten almost all of the quality teams. They play entertaining football and I can't help but enjoy the way they play and IMO they've earned this grand-final appearance
The Cowboys got thrashed in the first week have been inconsistant all season and Johnathon Thurston is one of the most overrated players you will ever see. They've had their time and don't deserve to be there, finishing at unconvincing 5th and shakily getting their way to the Grand Final.
Grand-final should have been Wests Tigers v Parramatta

I actually don't mind the Cowboys but I honestly don't think they should be there. I have however jumped completely on the proverbial bandwagon in terms of the Tigers and have been cheering for them since about Round 10.
And yes, Simon, I did realise you were kidding
