there are many roosters fans that dont know why they support them either.

alot of the times selections of teams to follow are the players playing for them . i was born in kogarah

its in my blood from my dragons family

I have followed the arl/nrl since 1982

I saw the aussie tourist at Hull and have been hooked ever since



I got videos of the games up too 1989

Then i got sky and they showed games

OK they were not live but a few days old and i watched the Balmain Tigers v Canberra Raiders grand final and i ve not seen a game to beat it yet



I follow the Parramatta Eels

But i collect all the club shirts They are so easy to get now with the internet etc

Most saints fans support st George for obvious reasons.



My Aussie team though is the bulldogs. The reason being from when I was young lad we brought mckraken(spelling) over from bulldogs on season loan.



He was my fave player that year and would always check how he was doing in oz and I just stuck with bulldogs ever since.

Ermmmmm



Would these 'obvious reasons' be that both teams wear white shirts and start with 'St'??



Hardly valid reasons for supporting a team that play over 12,000 miles away









Does this mean that St Helens fans also support Penrith district junior side St Marys?



I read in the paper Man Utd are having a 'V' on their shirts next season, so they will look a bit like St George too. Will St helens fans be supporting them as well??

balmain had that game won .

Then they took Steve (bloker) Roach off

And to this day Bill Harrigan gave the penelty the wrong way



i follow Parramatta because of Sterling and Kenny

The reason is because both are saints you thick convict.



In fact I don't even follow Aussie rugby anymore because it's boring 1 up rugby.

English RL fans wearing NRL shirts is no different from kids in South Africa wearing Man Utd soccer shirts - people are attracted to the pinnacle of whatever sport their interested in and in RL its the NRL.



Theres a few shops that sell NRL shirts / vests / polo shirts etc in the north of england these days mostly selling the ISC gear (which is very good quality).



Although I support the Raiders i've got all sorts of other teams stuff and the vests are very handy for the red hot weather we're having at the moment.



The NRL gear looks much better than the Super League stuff too



If any of you live in West Yorkshire theres a shop in Castleford Market that sells loads of NRL clothing at good prices (I'd like to point out I'm not a Cas fan - Wakefield is my team)

superleague teams gear do not sell down under

I am a Bulls fan and support St George down in Aus.



They gave us players like Graeme Bradley and Brad MacKay so I just started following them from there on.



That said most English SL fans will have an NRL team they follow, seems to be the done thing ATM.

So are St Marys you dope





Thats like me saying I used to support Hull when they were called 'Sharks'



Or I support Celtic Crusaders because The are a few letters in their name that also appear in the word 'Cronulla'



Northampton Rugby union are called the 'Saints' as well I think.



Do you support them too?
