Panthers: preston campbell
Broncos: as a queenslander and non broncos fan im sick of the broncos cause they get crammed down our throat in all the papers and news papers and its been going on for as long as i can rember, so i guess annoyance

and by the way it was scotty prince who did that pistol shooting try celebration back when he was at the cowboys

 

[OVP]

When Brisbane played Saints for the first of the two GFs in a row (92 i think), Roy and HG used Melissa Tkautz's song "Sexy is the word" for the Broncos theme song lol and the Saints got Dragon's April Sun in Cuba ... never been able to forget that :lol:

 

[The Engineers Room]

Can I ask, do you watch ESL?
It's a great comp.

I do and it is filled with Ex NRL players. It is like a new life for them at the start because the English players haven't worked them out yet.

 

[BDR]

Cowboys: Hard-working, but find it hard to get the job done.
Broncos: The true glamour club of the NRL. Always there at the end of the year.
Titans: Scott Prince, all flair no foundation.
Knights: Always built around one player.
Sea Eagles: Grubby bastards.
Roosters: Bought not bred, also 95% empty seats at the SFS.
Rabbitohs: For some reason Nathan Merritt. Also Russell Crowe.
Saints: Gasnier, Sydney media's masturbatory aides.
Sharkies: Sad fans.
Raiders: Snow.
Storm: Big Kiwi/Islander players & more recently bloody cheaters.
Warriors: Real tough buggers (used to be), more recently big Manu.
Tigers: Marshall/Prince combo which tore us up in the '05 GF
Bulldogs: Their amazing pack a few years ago, and scum fans.
Eels: Think they are far better than they ever have been.
Panthers: Red-headed stepchild of the NRL.

 

[Knightmare]

Brisbane Broncos: Arrogant arsehole fans and a fawning media that reports every time a donkeys player takes a dump

Canberra Raiders: The forgotten team

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs: CityRail

Cronulla Sharks: Nothing

Gold Coast Titans: Boobs for some reason...

Manly Sea Eagles: Bought premierships

Melbourne Storm: Cheats

Newcastle Knights: Drugs

North Queensland Cowboys: Great crowds despite being rubbish

Parramatta Eels: Chokers

Penrith Panthers: Once had a soul, but sold it to News Ltd.

St. George Illawarra Dragons: 31 f**king years...

South Sydney Rabbitohs: No matter how much they spend, still manage to be no better than mediocre

Sydney Roosters: Brown paper bags and massive junior base

Warriors: Wonderful attacking brand of football (not so much anymore unfortunately)

West Tigers: The number 9 keeps flashing in my mind... and Benji's flick pass in '05

Queensland: 100-year-old chip on the shoulder they seem incapable of ridding themselves of

I like your thinking!

 

[Knightmare]

NORTH QUEENSLAND: always talked up, never delivers
BRISBANE BRONCOS: too many sydney bangwagoner fans, play in an awesome stadium (really need to go one day)
GOLD COAST TITANS: new kid on the block, not to be taken seriously until its shows reason to.
NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS: awesomeness. we can and should be beating everyone everytime, dont understand why we dont
MANLY-WARRINGAH SEA EAGLES: just dont like them, i think thats normal
SYDNEY ROOSTERS: rich, no fans (who turn up), wicks scoring two long range tries
SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS: perpetual wooden spooners
ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA: the Real Madrid of NRL, so much talent, but no cigar
CRONULLA SUTHERLAND SHARKS: meh
CANBERRA RAIDERS: the perpetually young team, never rated
MELBOURNE STORM: arrogant filthy cheating scum and salary cap cheaters
WARRIORS: poor travellers, big, fun to watch
WESTS TIGERS: small forward pack, never makes the finals, fans who hate buderus and ennis (lol)
CANTERBURY BANKSTOWN BULLDOGS: 04 grandfinal
PARRAMATTA EELS: my rabid eels buddy
PENRITH PANTHERS: the forgotten westies

ORIGIN: some of the best 4 hours of footy of the year
NSW: buderus hitting webcke under the posts off the kick off, john's return in 05
QLD: comeback kings, the small kid who plays sports with the bigger older guys and takes himself seriously when he wins

Australia: winning by less than 18 is considered 'just' winning
NZ: HAKA, inconsistent and kinda crap
England: LOL, older brother with no ability, who thinks they can smash you and is surprised when they dont

ENGLISH SUPER LEAGUE: NRL retirement home

i thought it was interesting and thought i would expand on the topics
these ideas might not be true anymore, but its still the impression i have of these teams and things

I like what you did there. In that case:

ORIGIN: A bloke in a sky blue jersey and a bloke in a maroon jersey colliding head-on.

NSW: That place where my heart will always be, no matter where I am.

QLD: A bunch of overweight, sunburnt rednecks with ten gallon hats on and wearing Maroons jerseys, XXXX bottles in hand, chests puffed out, completely smashed and totally convinced that nobody in the entire universe is more proud or passionate than they are.

AUSTRALIA: Always the team to beat, just hearing the name gives me a faint feeling of confidence when it comes to Rugby League.

NZ: A bunch of maori guys with diamonte ear-studs and waxed hair grinning wide and going "Sweet as bro!" a lot, who usually end up having to accept a loss but will act as if they have been awarded a licence to print money if the Kiwis win.

ENGLAND: A bunch of stiff-upper lip, elitist private school boys looking down their noses at Australia and then disappearing again when they are beaten. Kind of matches what I think of when someone mentions Union.

ENGLISH SUPER LEAGUE: A mix between an old competition with great traditions and a product that Uncle Rupert has whored out.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Brisbane - Spoilt fans. alf langer. unusually high rates of internationals throughout their history.
Canberra - Mal Meninga, Daley dropping the trophy, Raiders Lime, Mals politics career
Souths - my dad, 1999 rally and booting. 01 re instatement. Greg bird knees a guy in th head
Sharks - Peach, Rogers, ET, Gallen, Losing big games. constant disappointment
Storm - meaningless franchise.
Dragons - Mundine, Red V.
Bulldogs - ruthless winners. 1995 grand final. cheating the cap. crowd issues. terry lamb
Warriors - 02 Prelim Final and Grand final. 03 semi with canberra
Parra - Beating them to end losing streaks. Yellow

Chooks - money, the bloke with theglove on his head, Fittler
Tigers - 06 GF. thrashing the sharks each time we play
Titans - Franchise. whatever
NQ - Crap for their firts 10 years nearly. the non scrum in 04. Matt Bowen
Penrith - Watching 03 GF at the coast in the rain on a crappy TV with Roy n HG commentry.
Newcastle - Johns. 97 GF. 02 64-14 game

 

[Captain BF]

Noth Queensland: Saturday night games & 2004 finals charge.

Gold Coast Titans: Surprising how well they have done.

Knights: Ouch... 2001, Joey Johns & Ben Kennedy go absolutely mental and flog Parra in the 1st half.... ummm probably best to move on.

Manly: 1986, last round at Brookvale. One of the toughest games i've seen.

Roosters: Nothing since Freddy retired. I hated the team they had in 03?

Souths: Steve Mavin.

St George: Nathan Brown's hair when he hit 1st grade. Funny stuff. Big fan of Nathan Blacklock.

Cronulla: ET, Miller, McGaw, Docking & bloody Adam Dykes!

Canberra: I should have worn long pants. I caught the Parra supporters bus to watch Parra Vs Canberra in 93. They put about 50 or so on us in Reserves and even more in 1st grade and i was wearing shorts in sub 10 degree weather. Long trip back...

Storm: Had respect for a great team... Not anymore though...

Warriors: Big

Tigers: Enjoyed the 2005 Grand Final.

Bulldogs: I can't find anything i have ever liked about this team. One of the very few things that i hate in life.

Eels: Parra Stadium, Passion & Pride. 25th season of going to the footy with my Dad. Love it!

Panthers: So many of my mates support Penrith as i grew up and still spend alot of time in the area, i have a little soft spot for them, just not when they play Parra though..

Broncos: Respect. Lockyer. Leading them at half time in 94 or 95 when we were nearly last and them coming out in the second half and tearing us a new one. Lockyers debut match? They had a brilliant team that day.


Great thread Knightmare!

 

[Azkatro]

Balmain Tigers - Steve Roach patting Eddie Ward on the head

Brisbane Broncos - Renouf's length of the field try in the 1992 grand final

Canberra Raiders - Laurie Daley basketballing it out to Chika Ferguson for the try in the 1989 grand final, and Kevin Hardwick's forlorn look after it was awarded

Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs - Craig Polla-Mounter's near miracle field goal at the death in the 1998 Prelim against Parra, and the players hoisting him up

Cronulla Sutherland Sharks - David Peachey getting sin binned and sent off in the massacre against Parramatta in 2003.. "DAVE PEACHEY! DAVE PEACHEY!"

Gold Coast Seagulls - Wally Lewis being the face of the struggling team as captain coach in the early 90's

Illawarra Steelers - The spaghetti twins, Schifilliti and Piccinelli! And big Darren Fritz... Definitely watching the 5 try haul by McIndoe on ABC Grandstand one Saturday afternoon

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles - Dirty dirty dirty dirty Matthew Ridge, in particular his stupid kickoff in the 1996 grand final which led to a match-turning try

Melbourne Storm - Glenn Lazarus looking stunned and limping around after full time in the 1999 grand final

Newcastle Knights - Obviously the 1997 grand final win, after such a disheartening year for the game and after 1996 it was nice to see Manly lose like that!

North Queensland Cowboys - The elation on Paul Bowman's face after Matt Sing scored in the second half against the Dogs in 2004 in the finals which sealed the win... oh and Paul Bowman getting up to play the ball in one game after plenty of niggle against the Sharks I think, appealing for a penalty and not getting one, and yelling out "f**k OFF TONY!" before being penalised for dissent :lol:

North Sydney Bears - Not much, other than their 1990's marquee players, Jason Taylor, Mark Soden, Florimo, Larsen etc

Northern Eagles - Not much

Parramatta Eels - Michael Witt's goal-line dropout that went over Parra's own dead-ball line

Penrith Panthers - Mark Geyer exploding onto a short line drop-out in the 1991 grand final, before offloading to Simmons for his second and match-winning try

St George Dragons - Losing grand finals in the 1990's

St George Illawarra Dragons - Riddell's penalty goal to win against the Broncos in the last round of 2003

South Sydney Rabbitohs - All the media dribblers coming out in force when they got kicked out in 1999, notably Ray Martin and Andrew Denton

Sydney Roosters - Luke Ricketson belting Nathan Fein in the prelim final of 2004

Warriors - Stacey Jones' solo try in the 2002 grand final

Western Suburbs Magpies - Jason Taylor

Wests Tigers - For some reason the only thing that springs to mind is Herbal World...

 

[Non Terminator]

Souths - my dad, 1999 rally and booting. 01 re instatement. Greg bird knees a guy in th head

Shane Marteene. The only way his name will go up in history books.

Warriors - 02 Prelim Final and Grand final. 03 semi with canberra

Good game too, how that Raiders side went out was crushing, a great side that year.
