18th club, whose next?

[bad boy bubby]

Just wanted to point out that the Illawarra region extends a long way past Wollongong, and includes both the Wollongong and Sth Coast competitions.

Down to Ulladulla from memory

Technically now the Illawarra finishes at Kiama, which is a fair way past Wollongong.
The real Gong, Gerringong is now part of Shoalhaven, and having spent a great deal of my life in the area, and my family live there, Shoalhaven people do not associate with Illawarraites.
But I am being technical.
Historically the Shoalhaven associate themselves more with the Sharks then the Drags, but history does change

I'm in the Ulladulla area and would never call it Sharkies territory lol. Can't speak for the rest of Shoalhaven though.

Wouldn’t shoalhaven be raiders and Kiama where Steelers becomes raiders

Nah Raiders links are further south. Eden area.

I meant where did the Steelers stop and raiders start (north east of Canberra along the coast)

Thats why I said history changes. My family and peers are all through Milton, Mollymook, Narawallee, all the way up to Sussex and Gerringong. I always found the Sharks and Parra to be the most followed teams, definitely not the Dragons.

As in Junior areas? No idea sorry mate, you'd have to ask a historian.

Yea and I'm late on the scene having only been down here for a decade now. TBH support wise its a huge mix down here now due to the area booming. When my son was playing minis we had kids supporting Parra, Manly, Sharks, Raiders, everybody.

Yeah that's fair. We always associated with the "surf team", which was Cronulla. Then Mick Cronin burst onto the scene and the support went his way a lot.
Ronny Quinn was the fulcrum, he played for both the Sharks and Eels.
In the Illawarra the Drags were always huge, just not further south.

oooh facebook stalker as well as closet racist. Grow up.

I didn't know calling a pommy is being racist, it's as if you must be some new breed/race of whinging human

 

[MugaB]

I didn’t even know what doxing was until I just googled it.

Looking at that description. I didn’t commit the crime.

Happy for a moderator to ban me though.

No moderation here on expansion threads remember, its why most of all you dickless wonders are abusing each other on a daily basis

This thread has turned into Cape Bear…

Yes I know Fear and Bear are pronounced differently, but I don’t care.

 

[MugaB]

So why did you feel the need to share my name? Its a big no no on forums and youve been reported.

Hahahahaha wery wery sooky, now that your real name has been released, as if anyone actually gives two shits anyways, didn’t some creep about 5 years do that to you, and now it happened again fmd

Spelling is similar

Obviously those teams value is less for tv

they will provide content though for existing viewers

both are more important for player pool development and also enhancing test match rugby league

channel nine doesn’t want so many regional nrl teams but those clubs being value in their own way

Cowboys rate well in Brisbane. Knights and Raiders don't rate well in Brisbane and Sydney.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Please I’ve been doxxed loads even by one of the alts whose raising doxxing as an issue by posting by twitter profile etc

You should report them to the mods.

There's no justification for doxxing.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Foxtel wants extra games & content. With government funding Fiji & PNG may be very lucrative for NRL

Without topline players they will be whipping boys. No one wants to watch lopsided games.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

f**k off Matt you immature dopey crying dopey mother f**ker.

At least some of the other kranskies on this forum offer a laugh now and then, you offer nothing.

Call me a bully, have a cry - I don't give a f**k you pencil neck wanker.

IP that genius.

My aim is to make people laugh.

 

[Centy Coast]

You can use Newtowns five contracted players lol.
