Bad Blood - The Real Rivalries

[Bring back John Fifita]

Boyd, Donnelly, Raudonikus, Randall, Knight, Broadhurst - All hard as a bull's forehead and fiery as Satan's kitchen.

Hearing the old stories of face slapping in the dressing sheds and the abuse hurled from both sides of the halfway line prior to kickoff sends a chill up my spine.

Its too bad that they don't have/sell copies of Magpies vs Eagles games from the Era. The golden years of rugby league...

 

[UndertakerMike]

does anyone think a new rivalry was born after the GF?
Tigers vs. Cowboys?

Not really.

 

[UndertakerMike]

Wests Tigers // Melbourne Storm

Yep for some reason. :roll:

 

[shadow grinder]

Yep for some reason. :roll:

its more like tigers have a problem with us...there is no rivalry but because 2 of their players got injured by our players illegally they dont like the storm. but meh no big deal.

 

[PJ Marshal]

Cronulla//Success

The Hoff // MacGyver

Canterbury // The Law

 

[UndertakerMike]

None from me anyways

 

[Nugby]

I was suprised no one mentioned it for the first few pages, but yeah, I know I get almost as fired up when we're playing Melbourne as I would against the Sharks. Of course, unlike Melbourne, we'd never have to play the Sharks in a grand final...

 

[shadow grinder]

the rivalry is good between dragons and storm tho wouldnt you agree?..well it is from the storm point of view

 

[Raider_69]

The Wests Tigers are a more successfull club then Canberra whichever way you look at it. In six years we've won a comp. It took you guys eight years to win one and in 23 years you've only won three. That equates to 1 comp = 7.6 years as opposed to our strike rate of 1 every 6 years (only bettered by South Sydney and Brisbane).

We have also never won a wooden spoon, something which you can not claim.

Go back to the Raiders forum where you can discuss how Todd Carney is a better player then Benji Marshall

Cn ya hear the the sizzle... Chikka's foot work still haunts you does it? :lol:
one good year cant equate for 15 years of Canberra making Wests, Balmain and WT's their bitch... So as of right now, you stand at about 1 better season then us in the past 15 odd... yea... real successful :lol:

Hmm...played 12 times for 6 wins each and in the time of WTs existence, we have won a premiership. I know which team I would prefer to support over the last 6 seasons. At least we've won the NRL before.

head to head yes... in the past 15 years, wests, balmain and WT combined have not won more comps, more games, made more semis then Canberra or anything to that effect... hence 15 years of Canberra owning every aspect of WT

 

[aids]

WT's and the Dogs have a good history of close matches since 2000, with only two blow out matches for either team.


not really a rivalry though

We are 6 years old and have achieved more then Canberra did in 6 years.

If you want to go into history then Westen Suburbs and Balmain both have won more comps then Canberra.


Do Royce Simmons two tries still haunt you?

you have lost the plot.
75% of those matchups for rivalry are BS

Yea your club was built from 2 existing clubs, with a whole host of money to go with it to buy players, our club was built from scratch, filling it with local players and a few decent names... 2 very different parallels, but dont let the facts get in the way of a good yarn. By all rights with the leg up you were given no premierships inside the first 5 years is a stunning failure!

And no royce's trys dont haunt me, as we are a single club were able to go on to better things in 94... Balmain on the other hand are now all but dead and their greatest legacy was losing the best GF of all time... ha!

Mate, a fair dinkum question here, just curious, how old were you when the 89 GF was played?

 

[melon....]

PREMIERS. Wests Tigers
RUNNERS UP. NQ Cowboys
3rd. Eels
4th. Dragons
...
9th. Roosters.


Yes. Superior. :lol::alcho:

10th. Dogs........The chicken is mightier than the Puppy.

Queanbeyan Leagues, up the top of the list of clubs in NSW in the 80's, only place to go for ACT residents that wanted to feed a pokie.
$$$$ by the bucketload.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I think any teams that have had a long history between each other is certainly a good rivalry.

Parramatta/Canterbry
Dragons/Sharks
Roosters/Dragons
Dragons/Souths
Souths/Roosters
Parramatta/Manly
Norths/Manly
