    Some people are like that, i have a friend who you wouldn't believe he'd ever been to the uk nevermind been born there.

    Im not one for posting about the weather and lifestyle, i cant stand it when people do that. I enjoy it but everyone is different and just as many leave as stay.

    As i said before i love the nrl and go to games as often as i can, but ive come to the conclusion I'm never going to have a team after 4 years here so im better just enjoying them as a neutral.

    I'll only ever have one rugby team

    Do you have an NRL team? If so why and how did you pick them?
    Cowboys for me. A team that has worked hard to achieve success. Loved Josh Hannay and Matt Bowen before Wigan of course, but then Mr Thurston is just sublime.

    I like the Cowboys too but there's a few teams I like. Was gutted when the Knights lost it late this morning

    I can't stand Melbourne, don't like Brisbane/Canterbury/Souths/Gold Coast/NZW

    I mostly support Easts, but also like Canberra, Manly, Newcastle and Penrith

    I tend to like teams because of the players / culture rather than local or traditional rivalries

    Wests / Cronulla sometimes I like them - sometimes not

    Sydney Roosters for sentimental reasons.

    I always watched RL with my father in law after my dad died.

    My sister in law and nephew live in Sydney, have done since 2008 when my nephew was young. He knew his grandad and uncle (me) were big rugby fans and for Xmas that year he sent us some Roosters flags and pennants.

    The year after it was caps so we kinda became honorary Roosters, my FIL got a shirt for his birthday one year.

    It became a bit of a tradition to record and watch Roosters games occasionally then in 2012 my FIL had 4 strokes and was basically a shell, blind and deaf but he still had his memories of Saints and Sydney so it's pretty much all we talked about when I visited him in a home.


    He died in august 2016, never having visited LP or seeing the 2014 GF.

    Cremated in a Saints shirt, I still have his Roosters shirt in my wardrobe and I still wear it on occasion.
    Can't stop the spirits when they need you.

    This life is more than just a read through.

    Melbourne as my sister moved there for a while so that was the team I watched when visiting and Cronulla as they used to have the perfect Andrew Ettingshausen playing for them.

    Can't stand listening to the Warriors when they are at home simply because of Daryl Halligan who commentates, if you think Phil Clarke is biased this guy is something else.
    Always find myself wanting them to lose just because he's so biased and very rarely gives the opposition a mention or credit for anything during the game.

    Don't follow the NRL as can't justify Sky and BT, but I am not sure it's right having to RL teams. If I watched it I would not have a team as I follow Saints. I would just watch as a neutral. Without being argumentative it would be like saying I follow Saints and Wigan! ( OK picked Wigan to be argumentative). But just because the 'other' team is in a different country and in a different league I still find it strange.
    Humans are more concerned with having than being.

    I know what you mean, but tonight and justifiable so he was all about Cleary. Living in Auckland now it is perhaps obvious that I follow them in the NRL, but also have soft spots for teams or players Saints have strong association with. And the Roosters- for looking after me as a skint backpacker ( housed and feed)
