no . i moved on to a bigger st.george junior club. where we won and dominated the junior and senior championships for many many years

Okay .

I am a St Helens fan , I currently work in the town , and they are the nearest team to my hometown .

Thanks to the wonders of satelite tv , I'm able to watch the NRL . Because it is the best RL in the world I want to watch it , but I don't get as much enjoyment out of sport if I watch it as a neutral . Therefore in order to enhance my viewing pleasure , I wanted a team to follow , and I chose the Broncos .

Obviously St Helens remain my no.1 team , when the 2 met in the WCC I supported the Saints ; but I see nothing wrong in (a) wanting to watch the NRL and (b) choosing a team to support in order to enhance my viewing pleasure .

For what it's worth I never watch any game as a neutral . I always choose one side to support in any game I watch . So even when I watch other SL or NRL games , when I watch a game of football , cricket , tennis etc etc I always choose one team or player to root for .

Which player do you tend to root?

Do you root for one more another?

He certainly appears to be a rooter

i might go for a root now

So it looks like the Poms follow an NRL club because;

1. A *insert NRL Club here* jumper has a similar colour scheme to the British side they support

2. A player who once played footy for *Insert Superleague Club here* once played for *insert NRL/NSWRL Club here*

3. They have seen the Footy show on 2 occasions.



Fascinating



Lets lock this one now please

Not at all.

Its just I see poms wearing a particular NRL clubs jumper over here and I wondered how....lets say... someone from *insert your towns name here* could claim to be a supporter of *Insert any NRL clubs name here*


A true story.

I spoke with a guy on the tube a few weeks ago who was proudly sporting a Gold Coast Titans jumper.

I assumed he was an Aussie, same as I would assume a person I saw in Sydney wearing a Wigan shirt would be a Pom.

But it transpired this guy was actually from Croydon (the Surrey version).
I asked him why he supported the Titans and he actually replied

'Oh I love Sydney. They film Home and Away near the Gold Coast'




So naturally I was curious as to how many poms could even point out Parramatta, Penrith or Brisbane on a map of Australia.

I'm still convinced that the British buy an NRL club shirt to pretend they have been to Australia or because they like the design.

I suspect a lot will get one because the NRL is far superior to Superleague but of course they would never admit it!

Its an envy thing. I can see why.

Parra's my favorite W.A. team

when you came over . did you have 2nd thoughts of going back to england

No not really but I'm sure Ill get homesick, for all it's bad points England is still my home.
