National Rugby League

NQ Cowboys. Although I could be tempted to support any team which included Craig Wing!

Are you kidding? I'm in Townsville, right in the heart of Cowboys country. This is going to be our season. 5 wins in a row, and we're getting ready to carve up Joey Johns and the Newcastle pussies this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't feel too bad Kanga. I have to confess that I have a soft spot for Parra. You're very lucky to have Mark Riddell in your team. There is just something about that guy that gets me all excited. Now... hands up as we prepare to kick for goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I got hooked on Rugby the second day I was in Australia. And the team I was cheering for was Parramatta. Anyone know if I can watch NRL matches online?

 

[TriBi]

Go the Sharks!

Roosters man, here! Not that I follow League since I've been in Melbourne.

Care factor for Melburnian's? About zip to 1%. It's an ugly, brutish game compared to AFL.

I just follow the teams on the ladder but can't watch the game anymore. Boring and full of thugs and morons.

Dobby runs for cover........"ouch", that brick hurt!!!

Another win to the Cowboys on the weekend. That's 6 from 6!! The boys got mobbed at the airport this morning when they flew home. THIS TOWN IS GOING OFF and it's only the start of the season!!!

Im a big St George Illawarra Dragon supporter.
We startin the usual way of a slow start to the season.
Hopefully we'll power home for the remainder of season, and deliver us that elusive premiership we've been waiting for since '79.

Who is everyones favourite and hottest player.

My favourite player is Luke Bailey.

Hottest: There's a few but i'd have to say Reni Maitua

WooHoo!

The Sharks finally had a good one (and at the expense of the 'top of the table' Cowboys). Yay!

Sorry Ramindra - nothing against the Cowboys (good to see a 'young' team doing well)...but I think we need the points more than you ATM

 

[ozguy]

Rothmans Medal .... is that the equivalent of the AFL's Brownlow Medal? And don't tell me it's still named after a cigarette company!!

 

[atrophic_poker]

The old saying is "Thirteen, lucky for some." I wouldn't mind getting lucky with Glenn Morrison.

(Bloody time difference - I tend to be drinking alone quite often... )

I live in Victoria and the Rugby League just doesn't rate. A real thugs game compared to Aussie Rules.

When I lived in Sydney I used to support the Roosters so I guess I still have a soft spot for them but I don't think they're the Roosters anymore?

Rugby League is just not a southern sport. Vic/SA/WA/Tas. It's a no winner.

 

[TriBi]

Yeah I know. AFL up here is a p*ssies game I never could see the point in it myself but anyway.....

Well - if you really wanted to piss off the Americans....you could point to all the padding their footballers wear...

Meow?
