The Wests Tigers’ stunning 32-6 victory over the Cronulla Sharks on Saturday night was as nostalgic as it gets as the club claimed its first win of the Benji Marshall era.
The nostalgic sight on the field during the Wests Tigers’ stunning win over the Sharks has been sullied by scenes off the field.Watch every game of every round this NRL Telstra Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?But while the scenes at the most suburban of suburban rugby league stadiums were a thing of beauty, News Corp reporter Eliza Barr has exposed the ugly underbelly of the win.
“It would be entirely unacceptable to start singing made-up lyrics referring to sexually assaulting women or rough-housing so much you nearly take out the people around you. “And shame on those who – when I posted on X about this experience – said I’m soft, this is what footy is like, and I should cop it or get out.“Footy matches are not special places where men get a pass from behaving like respectable human beings.”But she added the issue isn’t just a Leichhardt Oval or Tigers issue, it’s a “game-wide” scourge and called for the game to make sure rugby league games are “safer environments for every kind of fan”.
“The level of police and security at games is determined by the projected crowd – the police presence was at the maximum number for Saturday’s attendance figure.Tigers CEO Shane Richardson said in a press conference on Monday that the club’s future might not include the stadium unless something is done with the venue.
There are four more matches scheduled for Leichhardt Oval and five more at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.
