Some 23 years after his NRL career ended in a grand-final loss to Melbourne, former Illawarra flyer Rod Wishart now wears a Storm cap around the golf course. Come Sunday, Wishart won't even think twice about supporting the Storm over St George Illawarra, watching his son Tyran play against his old Dragons club for the first time. Down in Melbourne for a parents' function before the AAMI Park clash, the 53-year-old is not afraid to now associate his family as part of the Storm. "It's not bittersweet at all," Wishart Snr said. "It's been a while since I've had the boots on, but you just want the best thing for your kid. "You'll always support your kids. "Melbourne have always been a team I admired. And when Tyran got the opportunity it was nearly an automatic thing to support them." "It was a bit unreal to be honest," Tyran said. "When I first heard they were interested I wasn't even sure if it was real. "But it's been great coming here. People are good, staff are good. I've learned a lot, learned new positions and got fresh eyes on me."
