I'm a male in aus and have followed the Canberra raiders since I was young.
I hate at George and their fans... Ahah most don't even know that St George HAS NOT won the most premierships, they just assume it's them. As for this year, fingers crossed for canberra, But warriors n storm be my picks this year. On a side note, who plays fantasy league? |

While I was blown away by para at the time (mainly because of Sterlo), I fell in love with the Raiders when Laurie Daley and Bradley Clyde hit the scene. They are the same age as me and just kicked ass week in week out. Got on the piss with Laurie and Brett Mullins after the ANZAC test in 1998. Great guys!! Never had a crack at fantasy league, must give it a crack. |

Josh Dugan is a talent at the Raiders. A big pack too. Is Learoyd-Lahrs still playing for the "Green Machine" ? It depends how you look at St. George-Illawarra. Do you view them as a continuation of the old St. George club or would you class the St. George-Illawarra Dragons "joint venture" as a new club? As an outsider looking in, you can't argue with 11 premierships in a row (pretty sure that's correct?) even if it was yesteryear. It's something I'd be proud of as a fan of a club. Wigan is a club built on it's history (as all clubs are) it's just Wigan has created a pretty glorious history for itself here in the UK and even we didn't manage 11 premierships in a row so my point is I do admire that record. I don't live in Aus so can't say I know many St. George-Illawarra fans. It was gutting losing out to them on the 2011 World Club Challenge over here in the UK though. |

st george, where do i start lol. well for starters i am actually an illawarra boy, and its not a joint venture. i really dont know why they keep illawarra in the branding n name. as for raiders, ahahahahahahahaha, yes we have the biggest and greatest pack on paper, and even have enough "reserve" star fowards to fill first team of any other team, but they lacked discipline and direction last year... no halves combination. if campese plays at least 3/4 of the season i bet they finish top 6. if not ahaha bottom 3. |

To be honest I'm grateful the reigning NRL premiers come over each year as it's a long way to come for one match or one trial and then the match. I do keep a keen eye on the NRL. The whole culture over in Australia is different to that in the UK regarding Rugby League. It's one I admire and a culture I wish we had. Football or "Soccer" as you might know it best is most prominent here and Rugby League in some quarters is considered a "minor" sport which is a shame. When I started this topic I wasn't sure if I'd get any responses so I'm pleased I've found some people with a couple of common interests. ![]() |

some of our clubs i swear they inflate crowd figures and are still as low as a few thousand. we have a new indepandant commission to govern the game starting this season, they saying one benefit is increase pay for players, so maybe we wont be seeing as many of ours heading over to uk. |

Game has kicked off and I still can't decide who I'm supporting. What is it about Manly that makes it so hard for me to like?

Leeds were the better team on the night but I hardly think it's a fair contest. The Aussies have to come over here every year and in the past two seasons have played at the home stadiums of the teams they were facing. Ideally the World Club Challenge should alternate between the hemispheres and be played on "neutral" territory rather than that club's own home ground. |
