Dont need to JB. Decent crowds considering where the teams standing on the ladder, and many of them put money into the club via the League club.


Or do you want to have another thread about how they are struggling with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets they have, you stupid pommy idiot!

"Good Crowds"





All's relative i guess! Yep hard to tear yourself away from the pokie to get yourself to the game. All money in the bank though

Well Penrith is alive and the western reds were dead after a few years so Penrith must have something going for them.

I'd suggest its the fan base.


People like me...vs people like you.


A club thats alive, a club thats dead.

I can't speak for him/them, but unless whatever comp Northhampton play in is the best in the world, i'd say no. Put yourself in their position. You admire the best rugby league comp in the world and want to have some attachment to it. You've got no solid links to any NRL club, so you look for something obvious to help your decision. They both wear red and white and are both commonly referred to as "The Saints".

I see where you are coming from matey.


Guess I just don't really get how someone could go for a club just because they have a similar name or shirt to another one.

St Helens and St George Illawarra have similar shirts and both start with 'St'. But thats where the similarity ends




I suppose its no different to people supporting Man Utd who would have difficulty pointing Manchester out on the map though

The have a fair few SL clubs shirts in Mick Simmons in Sydney! whether they actually sell or not is another matter!!

I also find it strange that NRL jerseys are actually cheaper to buy in England than they are in Australia!

They had the Wigan and Bradford 08 shirts in but they didnt seem to sell any. They dont have any Superleague jerseys at the moment, maybe they ahve learnt their lesson.

Yea i dont understand how NRL jerseys are cheaper in the UK, both my home and away Roosters 09 and NSW 09 Origin jersey came from downunder leisure in Wigan. When my familt came to visit they brough me them over aswell as a few t-shirts and training tops, all cheap there then in Aus....

Typical Aussie to$$er

And I said I don't support st george. I support the bulldogs

I have a mate who moved to Sydney about 8 years ago and he is now a Roosters member, so they are now my preffered NRL team. I was at the 2004 GF and managed to get to see them last April at Penrith, as well as a few other random games......also have a soft spot for Manly

Hey Barry one NRL shirt you wont see in the UK is Cronulla,i wonder why

Probably same reason you won't see many in Australia! If the people in their own suburb don't like them what chance an international fanbase?
