So Barry convict wants us go follow sharks because you can get good seafood at sharkies

Or

Because you can get good curry there.

So nothing on the field then?

As I said I follow the dogs and have done for 20 years but because of my hate of Aussies I'm thinking of following the only none Aussie team in the nrl.

After all the kiwis are best rugby country in the world

Well Mr McKenzie , I'll try and explain my allegiance to the Brisbane Broncos .

I am a St Helens fan . Born and raised about 20 miles from the ground , they are my local team .

In the late 90's , Sky tv started showing live NRL games over here in the UK . I've always found it more enjoyable to follow a sport if you have an allegiance to one particular team , and I wanted to watch the NRL , as it's the best RL in the world .

The first game I saw was in early 2000 when the Broncos defeated the Knights with a late Darren Lockyer try . So I decided that the Broncos would be my team . It made sense , as I had a soft spot for Queensland because of Mal Meninga's and Phil Veivers' sterling service to St Helens .

Later that year , I was priviliged , to attend a couple of games at the 2000 World Cup , including the Final at Old Trafford . Darren Lockyer was superb .

Ever since Locky has been my all time favourite player , and I've supported the Broncos and Queensland .

If this meets with your disapproval and derision , then I don't give a **** .
I'm happy in my choices and reasons for following Aussie RL teams .

For the record I support Essendon in the AFL and don't give a **** about any other Aussie team .

A lot of people just buy a shirt when they go to Aus. To show they are a supporter of RL etc. The only one I have is a Queensland shirt, just because I like the shirt.

My Auntie and Uncle live in Auckland and so i've always followed the Warriors since their debut in 1996

Have you tried Peter Wynn's Score or Rebel Sport mate?

Tigers and dragons for me, tigers cos when i was a kid i liked the idea of another team called the tigers, dragons because i've always enjoyed watching them play, like the strip and anything with saint george in the name must be good!

Riiiiiiight

Well I'm quite keen on footy myself.

I'm in England.


But you would never see Barry McKenzie wearing a St Helens or a London Harlebroncos jumper.

I'll stick to my favourite Nike Superleague Sharks jumper with a big '3' on the back and 'Ettingshausen' across the shoulders.

do you know tradition

You do that - oh, and see the Brighton-le-Sands - it's the original UK version, not the fake Aussie one

And as for tradition, why aren't you wearing a Sharks jumper without a name on?

Paramatta or Sydney Roosters for me, Parra beacuse I'm a Hull FC fan and love Sterlo but also like the Roosters because of Fittler and Morley for 5 or 6 years back.

Penrith for me, because i went ot see them down under, and because of Tony Puletua.

So why dont you go for Newcastle Knights because of Matt Gidley?
