If Saints were, I'd prob not watch much league at all. Possibly State of Origins if anything. Def wouldnt follow another side. Feel for Bears fans.
If they were relocated (eg moved to Perth) i'd be mighty p1ssed off but prob would still follow em
I come from the Dragons side before Illawarra came into the picture. While I was gutted at the time it soon didnt bother me at all. Dare say that wouldnt necessarily be the case for prev Steelers (& Magpies) fans.
I know it's the case for some Steelers fans, but I'm not one of them. Yes, I was pissed with the terms of the merger, and wondered prior the start of the '99 whether I could follow the Dragons with the same passion I did the Steelers, but 5 minutes of the Parra game put that one to bed. However little of my club seemingly remained, I couldn't follow any other team, and I'm not the sort to follow a team half-heartedly.
Now, if the Dragons were booted, I would definitely lose interest. I'd still follow league, and my current second team the Tits would be my new team, but it would never be the same. Manchester United would become the main objects of my sporting passion.
If the joint venture fell through (highly unlikely given there is a clause in the joint venture agreement to prevent either team doing a runner), I'd probably follow St. George until such time as another team was set up on the South Coast.
