On the subject of team nicknames, where did the term "Loiners" for Leeds ever come from? It brings to mind some rather unpleasant images for me, but maybe 'loin' means something different out that way to what it does on this side of the pennines.

Thanks for the replies guys....very interesting, love hhistory on rugby league.
Brett Hodgsons junior club, Western Suburbs Magpies (one half of the joint venture that is now Wests Tigers in the NRL ) were originally called the Fruit Pickers, the area they originally formed from was predominately rural, orchards farms etc
The other half of the Joint venture - Balmain Tigers - were called the Watersiders on account of Balmains proximity to Sydney harbour
With a bit of luck if you blokes keep playing the way yous are I will get to watch the entire final series and hopefully a premiership.
Is it a 5 week series?
Or is your next game a grand final qualifier?
I know Wolves get next week off and then get to choose their opponents....sounds a much better situation to the bloody Macintyre system we use here
