Picture this.

Your side has just played out of their skin to cause an almighty upset, with a goal after the siren, sealing the deal.

You hug your mates, let out a raucous cheer, spill a bit of beer and prepare to unleash the most tone-deaf rendition of your club's song, as your players mob their match-winner.

As the opening notes ring out around your home ground, are you happy with the tune you're about to sing? Is it catchy, free of cringe and classic?

Some clubs boast anthems that hit the mark. Others don't. Here's my ranking, from ear sore to elite.

A real classic flavour to this one. It's a song befitting one of the oldest and most storied clubs in the code, and one brought to life for a modern audience when the club finally broke through for premiership glory in 2021.

Points for referencing enduring friendships ('old acquaintance'). Sue me, I'm romantic about such things.
