They did, Bill Arthur took a particular interest in one team. I think they have 3 teams contesting, 2 based in Oslo. |

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Ahh I was under the impression it was just 2 in Oslo and one in Lillestrom. 7 teams is good going! I think it was the Tromso polar bears Bill Arthur might have taken a fancy to.

I was in Norway earlier this year. Fantastic place and nice people. I was starting to forget what fresh air smelled like before I went. Would recommend it to anyone.
Always good to have another fan on board!

Well... what can I say... "Strength and Honour!!!!" 
I didn't even know there was two different codes of Rugby... I saw my very first rugby match in feb 2005, it was a Six Nations game, I thought it looked fun... the my mrs. introduced me to League and when I saw another Six Nations match after witnessing the "quicksilver brutal ballet that is SuperLeague", I finally understood what she meant :lol
One funny thing... on Sunday just gone, she was at the Etihad Stadium... was apparently some kind of sporting event going on there.. I wouldn't know I was in bed after nightshift Saturday AND going back to nightshift Sunday so I seriously needed my sleep. Anyhow, when I drove over to pick her up about 20:10, I saw a bunch of St and Wigan fans going together having a laugh amongst themselves... good to see ^^
I seriously couldn't see that happening with say... United and Liverpool fans, walking together up the street and just laugh about some internal rivalry joke or whatever they were laughing at.
Oh. I wonder if Stevo is in pain at times... he seems very biased agaisnt Wigan, but he's all over Sam.... the comment he made during the Magic match was something akin to "you can't hesitate for a split second with Sam Tomkins, this boy will just tear them apart" and then it was back to alway saying what St were doing wrong, never anything about what Wigan were doing right to exploit the st. weaknesses. So I do wonder if it's painful for Stevo that Sam is wearing a Cherry&White shirt...
But hey... it's better with a biased TV commentator, than no League at all on telly, innit ^^

Bloody hell, a Norwegian Wigan fan. That's my nightmare right there that is.
Welcome to the greatest game in the world though. I've watched hand ball, it just doesn't cut the mustard

Joking about what? that I'm a Warrior or that I'm nice fella?
I just think.. for someone who's never seen Rugby League before, it's incredibly hard to ignore Sam Tomkins... heck, it's hard to ignore Sam Tomkins even for a longtime supporter of other teams :lol (Especially if you're a St supporter )
Seriously, thoguh... if not for Sam, I'ld be just as likely to toss a coin between the "best attack" (Wires) and "best defense" (Warriors) in SL XVI... Sam just was the extra weight in Warriors' favour, IMHO...
Oh.. and I am, from time to time, looking up earlier games and histroy of a fair few clubs and players... I never do anything halfways  |

Anyway, welcome to the the greatest game.
