The atmosphere at Leichhardt Oval during the Wests Tigers' epic victory over the Sharks was like a blast from the past, reminiscent of the glory days of the Balmain Tigers.
The team, known for their teeth, showed they still had some fight left in them as they claimed their first win of the Benji Marshall era.
Despite the stadium showing signs of wear and tear and the hill lacking the usual mix of kids and seniors, the spirit of the fans was undeniable.
The scene was a throwback to old-school rugby league, with echoes of history lurking in the air.
However, amidst the celebrations, a dark cloud loomed over the victory.
News Corp reporter Eliza Barr shed light on the ugly side of the game as she called out a group of Tigers fans for their disrespectful and offensive behavior.
As the footy world basked in the glow of the Tigers' triumph, Barr's revelation served as a stark reminder that such behavior has no place in the sport.
The hill at Leichhardt Oval may hold memories of past glories, but it's time to clean up the act and ensure that all fans can enjoy the game without fear of discrimination or abuse.
