| 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.

Wonder why?

Just by putting saints in front of your name won't make the sharks any better.
They will always be a 2nd rate Aussie club.

| 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

I lived in Queanbeyan for a while and I own a Raiders jumper myself.
I've got a lot of time for the 'Green Machine'

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) aussielegendbaz@gmail.com:45452.jpg |

Queanbeyan has one of the best leagues clubs I've ever been in.
Excellent place.
Maybe those people you saw were Poms pretending to be Aussies???
Happens all the time.
Its a jealousy thing
Maybe they thought you were from immigration and their visas had expired
