We all know about Johnno, Backy and selected others who were forever Tigers.
I would argue that most players will play where the most pennies are and don't really care where that is.
I think that we all cheer on people sometimes who would play for anyone, and our perception of how they feel about our club is different to ours.
Football teams without an British name on the pitch are a good example. Why do we bother???
Do players care about their club?

I hope you are not overlooking players like Rowntree, Cockerill, Garforth, Lloyd, Ellis, the Deacons, Will Johnson, or any of the others of the mass of players that have stuck with the club or come through the academy.
And when was the last time a player left because they "didn't want to play for Tigers"?

yeh well said unohoo.....
every time tigers sign a player they just say i am just privilaged that i will be playing for the tigers. look at the way the players reacted to losing in tkiwers in may. if they didnt care about the club they wouldnt be heart broken as we seen the tigers players were.

Any player who has made it to Tigers 1st team level doesn't necessarily care about Tigers, but cares about winning above everything else. If they didn't they would be like every other club player, it is that that makes them great, combined with natural skill.
If they seem upset, it is usually personal anger, not upset for the Tigers.
