First team was the Eels because they had the same colours as Leeds. Now mainly the Titans but I go to watch the Broncos. Just never really had a great affinity for my 'hometown' team for some reason.

BTW, if you think it's a tad sad that English league fans should wear NRL shirts, how about the Aussie lads wearing Man U or Liverpool shirts around town. It's a sad look even in an English football fan IMO.

Personally, I only ever wear my Watersplash replica Leeds jersey (Wembley 6icon_cool.gif because it's a proper rugby shirt, not some piece of polyester tat. I'm surprised more clubs don't sell 'proper' jerseys because I for one wouldn't be seen dead in one of those uncomfortable and frankly tatty looking 'shirts' that seem to be the only things available. Some clubs here do a nice line in polo shirts though.

Oh dear

That will be because Cronulla Sharks dont have the same colours as Leeds

Maybe I will suggest to the Sharks board that we call our club the 'Saint Sharks' and then you can also support us as I know thats your reason for supporting one


Glad to have you aboard you dufus

I don't care as long as you will support us


Saint Sharks it is!!

On behalf of Cronulla I salute you, welcome to the Sutherland shire

Being a Canberra Raiders supporter, I certainly didn't pick them for colour of their jersey!

I actually started following Australian Rugby League as a kid, a few years before I even became a supporter of my Super League team.

I've seen my team win 1 Grand Final, so it certainly has nothing to do with glory.

And I've witnessed heaps of Australians down under wandering the streets in Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea, West Ham, blah blah blah jerseys. I guess it's just like EPL fans wearing Barca and Real shirts, it's not only obvious but fact that NRL is the better competition

Just found out my cousin is dating Darius Boyd so maybe I should jump ship.......


Nah!!!!

Awesome, alot of Raiders history in Q-town!


Also, regarding your first post where you go onto say you've never seen an Australian League fan sporting any English League jerseys, I've been to many NRL games and seen heaps.

West Tigers.. Leeds, Bradford and Hull KR
Penrith.. Wigan & Bradford
Canberra.. Castleford, Leeds, Bradford and Hull FC

My list could go on.. and I esure you they're not expats having spoke to them!

I've been looking through the thread where I asked you Poms why you supported a particular NRL club and why.

To be honest the answers were lame.

Very lame.


The reasons seem to be 'because *insert NRL club* has the same colour shirts as my *insert English Superleague club*'

or

'Because *insert aging NRL star* used to play for *woeful superleague club*'

Clearly you people have little idea as to whats what in the world of NRL and Australia in general.

So as a favour to youse all I would like to offer you this information on my team .....the Cronulla Sutherland Sharks. Maybe then you will realise what a top area I come from and how you really ought to support us.

10 reasons to support us.

1. We have a great on field jumper.

2 Cronulla is a fantastic suburb, its only 45 mins or so on the train from the CBD of sydney.

3. We have great beaches.

4. We have a fantastic shopping area called Cronulla Plaza. Its great to wander through on the way to the beach after getting off the train.

5. I come from Cronulla.

6. We don't tolerate Lebanese abusing our lifeguards

7. We own our own ground.

8. Elle McPherson and GlennMcGrath both go for us. Oh and the lead singer out of the Hoodoo Gurus.

9. You can get a superb curry from the 'Handi Ghandi' curry house (easily the best named curry place I've ever seen)

Maybe they thought you were from immigration and their visas had expired

TBF I never watch the Sharks unless im tired and cant sleep. Same with the Raiders... they help me drop off in no time

I would never swap from the Dogs now and thought my reason was pretty f***en awesome

Hollywood Harrigan certainly hasn't tuned into Bigpond in the past 2 weeks now has he?!!
