Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an NRL club mascot? Well here's the story of "Timmy the Tiger", club mascot of Wests Tigers.

Viv Paul studied teaching at university and never thought he'd become a team mascot. But when the opportunity came, he grabbed it with both paws.

"I feel like a different person when the suit comes on," Viv says.

"I can't tell you how honoured I feel every time I get to lead that team out." 

Watch the #MascotMadness video to see Timmy, and Viv's, full story.
