I can understand the angst of NSW fans

All good mate, you certainly have the right to feel the way you do

As for the bit here in bold, I think you have a little bit wrong when it comes to the majority of NSW club supporters. We hate being told by Qlders that we should be supporting other clubs from NSW in the finals just because they are from the same state. That is just not how things work down there, not because there is no state pride, but because there is more club pride at this time of year.

What works for Qlders does not work for us

Fair 'nuff JW ....... although I haven't told NSW supporters who they should support. My only issue is with QLD'rs who won't get behind the only QLD based side left in the finals.

That just shows the arrogance of Donkeys' supporters. Manly players, officials and fans know that most other supporters don't like us and noone expects people to jump on the bandwagon. If they do great, if they don't it makes no difference. There are plenty of people in NSW that hate Manly and there are plenty of people in QLD that hate the Donkeys. Accept it and move on. The Warriors are getting a lot of support because the other 3 teams are among the most hated clubs (you can probably throw the 'Dogs in too) in the NRL. NSW clubs have built up rivalries that go back 50-100 years. The fact that clubs from out of Sydney have come in over the last 25 years doesn't take anything away from our hatred of other Sydney clubs. I'd go for NQ or NZ over some sydney clubs. Their proximity doesn't make me like them any more, it makes me hate them more. I could never have possibly contemplated going for the Bears, it's a shame QLD are reluctant to build up true local rivalries.

They actively killed off two Queensland clubs and expect all Queenslanders to support them. :lol::lol:

Broncos supporters seem to be happy to back the Cowboys or Titans but the same doesn't go for the reverse, especially in the case of the Cowboys.

Why don't you and all your multiple accounts crawl back under your piss stained bedsheets and wait for next year to roll around. There's nothing left for you here now.

Ahh the hypocrisy is deafening in here!

An apt description. The Broncos have virtually had it all there own way for the last 25 odd years. Literally went out of their way to ensure they were the only surviving club in Brisbane, all the while being backed by the leech of rugby league that is News Ltd. And evidently their fans have a sense of self righteousness that would make Manly fans of bygone eras seem almost humble

Mate.......don't you think if I HAD multiple accounts I'd be using them for a little back-up?

:crazy:
I thought you were!

Honestly, I'd hate to be that paranoid about another state, especilly one you live in. Must drive you nuts hating everything you see. You'd make Charles Manson look calm!

You did though, a bit.


club 1st.....state 2nd .......country 3rd.

Loyalty.......it's a funny word that you NSWankers just won't ever understand the meaning of.

You want finals footy to be another Origin. Unfortunately the competition predates NSW v QLD, as do many of the NSW team club rivalries. The significance of state means nothing come finals football when compared to old hatreds. I would back the Titans over Manly any day.

Try not to let it bother you.

I'm not sure where.....

No I don't, because I'm not specifying just NSW. If it were Cowboys V Warriors or the Storm, I would like to see QLDr's supporting the Cowboys. It seems to be if a QLD'r mentions the word QLD....... immediately a NSWelshman will think he's talking about SOO. Not so in this case

Try not to let it bother you.

Unless you're a QLD'r supporting a team from another state/country it won't bother me at all.
