[Tommy Smith]

If broncos don't win the gtand final,plenty of their fans would be happy for the Cowboys to win it and vice versa.
You'll Never Find a Souths Fan happy For the roosters To take out the premiership, nor would I expect roosters to be happy with a Souths premiership

Exactly.

Most Cowboys fans actively cheer on the Broncos as their second team. And when the Cowboys sucked a lot would call themselves Broncos fan.

That isn't a passionate rivalry at all. Roosters-Rabbits is built on 100 years of out and out hatred. The Qld 'derby' doesn't compare.

I think the Dogs V Rabbits rivalry is trumping Easts V Rabbits. It's good because both teams have a lot of human garbage amongst their fans.

 

[Headless Chook]

It also helps if you're going to have rivalry between 2 clubs that they're not 2000 km apart.

Utter rubbish.

Most Cowboys fans absolutley detest the Broncos.

When the cows beat the Broncos in the semis in 2012 or whatever it was the Broncos posted on their website that they hope the cowboys win the comp and urged their fans to get behind them.

Imagine the dogs play souths next week and the loser putting that up?!?!? Not in a million years.

 

[Gina Minehart]

Souths fans are sloths

 

[Rabbits20]

Then people should at least turn up to watch it

Well members of Souths are busy at work like myself and can't make the game.

It's not easy to get off work to go.

I know a few other Souths members who are working and can't make the game in time.

 

[Rabbits20]

Ha, please.

Cowboys Broncos has a whole state pitted against one another and gets over 40k every time easily.

1300 smiles doesn't hold 40k. It holds 25k roughly. You must be confused:roll:

That's right there's a big difference.

Spot on.

 

[BranVan3000]

Honestly scared to watch this game. Expecting to lose comfortably but happy to be proven wrong

The way I understand it Rooster and Rabbitohs historically was more like the QLD rivalries and plenty of fans would support either if their team was out of it. Hence why there a lot of old school players who have played for both.

The hatred has really only kicked off in the last 20 years or so, really started bubbling up when Rabbitohs were in the dumps and Roosters were flying through the Fittler era. But it has absolutely peaked now with both clubs on top

This may be the case however with players swapping it was probably due being close to each other. In the amateur days players were more likely to change to a neighbour club so they didn't have to move houses/change jobs etc.

You saw it a lot with saints/cronulla and manly/norths yet the hate was always there with them.

So most souffs fans work in service roles instead of 9-5. Imagine my surprise!

No. I don't want fries with that.

:lol:

Beat me to it.

 

[Gina Minehart]

Haha I was going to go the same way

 

[Gina Minehart]

The question is - which teams can upset the roosters? I can only see two on their day that have a serious gear to go up - dogs and Cowboys

Don't think the Broncos quite have the cattle

The Broncos gave the Roosters a lot more hell on their home turf than the Cows even did on theirs and you reckon we are the ones short stacked

I just don't think you'll have another gear in the big games. You've had a good year no doubt

If Pearce is back, that helps all the other teams. Hastings' kicking game is better than anything Pearce would have done.

Lets see how the Roosters go without JWH against the top sides. Still think anyone of the top 3, plus add Melbourne, Dogs can win this year. It is a very open comp.
