O/T Rugby League

[CuriousMattUK]

Are there any lovely members of this forum who are fans of Rugby League? Or as RL fans like to call it "The Greatest Game of All".

I understand this may be a long shot with Rugby League heartlands few and far between across the world.

I'm asking as I'm just curious to know whether there are any transsexuals, CDs or transsexual fans alike who are fans of the game like myself?

P.S. feel free to lock this if the discussion doesn't gather any momentum.

I don't know about the RL much, but I'm following the Top14 in France and the H-Cup. I'm a supporter of my city's club, the Stade Toulousain.

Both those competitions are Rugby Union (the other code) or variants of it.

That is interesting to know however

I'm a huge fan. I grew up in New Zealand playing from the time I was 5. Who do you support?

Cool. Good stuff mate

Do you support New Zealand Warriors?

I support Wigan because I grew up and still live in the town.

Yep, love the Warriors!

I've always had a soft spot for Wigan with the Kiwi connection. Some of my favourite players have played there.

Nice to find someone who shares a common interest other than the obvious one that brings us to this forum on a regular basis

Shaun Johnson is a great young star for you guys at the moment. Kevin Locke is also a handy full-back.

Of all the NRL clubs I probably have a soft spot for Souths more than any other due to their rich heritage and the fact that Michael Maguire will be coaching them from the 2012 season onwards. Don't mind the NZ Warriors though.

No doubt the soft spot is helped too by Wigan also being "Warriors". We have had some great kiwi players over the years. Graeme West, Dean Bell, The Iro brothers, Thomas Leuluai (currently) etc. just to name a few

Some absolute legends have played there all right. On top of that we had Dennis Betts here as our captain for a while.

Frano Botica is probably my favourite Kiwi to ply for Wigan. He's a local boy and went to the same high school as me (a few years ahead of me).

Speaking of Souths, I see Sam Burgess is still injured. He one of a couple of English players making a huge impression down here!
