A new report has revealed that Tigers fans who make the trek out to Campbelltown to watch their beloved team inevitably choke on a rainy Sunday evening are the only real fans in the game of rugby league.

The ongoing study was finally confirmed on Sunday when the Tigers let a three game winning streak, not seen since 2018, slip away from them.

While the Wests Tigers never ending bad luck may be a turn-off for fans of other teams, it seems to have no effect on Tigers fans, who will happily flock to a footy field in Leumeah on a rainy Sunday night to watch their team lose.

“We played well, I’m really proud of the team,” said Jason Leota, a 21-year-old Tigers fan who has never not seen his footy team absolutely suck.

“We’ve never seen anything like it, really. Tigers fans seem to be the only fanbase in all of world sport that do not care about the performance of their team. They are fans for the sake of being fans—’pure fans,’ we like to call them in the world of sociology,” explained Dr Mathew Yates, a professor of humanities at Western Sydney University.

It is believed that Wests Tigers fans have developed a rare psychological condition known as “natural optimism,” where repeated exposure to disappointment has somehow rewired their brains to find joy in failure.

Despite finishing at the bottom of the ladder multiple times in recent years, Tigers fans remain undeterred, with some even referring to their loyalty as a “character-building exercise.”

As for the rest of the NRL, opposition fans can only look on in amazement, wondering what it must be like to love something so deeply while receiving absolutely nothing in return.
