I'm another that is struggling to understand the "shucks, if we can't win it I'm glad the cowboys do" attitude.
I ****ing hate the cowboys and they hate us. I want them to lose and I want us to win. end of. If we lose I will take no comfort in the fact that they won.
I don't want them to win a premiership, I want them to always remember their place as little brother. I'm sure what there location has to do with it? I'm sure last year the Bulldogs fans weren't saying "oh well, at least a NSW team won it". Or in 2013 I can guarantee you that Manly weren't happy to see their 'brothers from across town' hoisting the trophy.
I hope by the end of 80 minutes on Sunday night a am watching MY team celebrating it's 7th premiership and tasting the sweet tears from JT's eyes as he comes to terms with the fact he has lost his last real chance at a premiership.
