If Canberra folded I would work out which belnd of colours make green and follow that team.
Hmm...who could that be?
About half the bloody comp!
We'd make the best tone of green though.

This thread is full of bullsh*t responses.
You all SAY you would no longer watch league, however the evidence points to the fact that you indeed would. By that I mean, the evidence suggests that after a short time, RL fans do return to watching the sport in some aspect. The forming of Broncos and death of QRL, Souths reinstatement, Super League war, the mergers post SL, Storm salary cap scandal, etc. all proves this.
Flame away all you want ladies; however I know, you know, we all know that 99% of you would in fact, follow RL in some form after your team died.
P.S. If you guys ONLY support your chosen team and not the sport, why are you posting on a RL forum? Your teams all have forums out there, specific to your team and with one-eyed supporters yet you come here to argue with RL fans????
I'd probably just not care about league for 90% of the year and then start cheering for Parra during August when they start winning.
Typical passionless Bronco supporter. There is no evidence that you speak of. In fact, the average crowd of the merged clubs is less than the sum of the averages of both sides pre mergers.
Has it ever occurred to you that we post on a RL forum because we follow RL clubs???? Duh!!!!
So that comment was based on my response?No it didn't. You a one of the most vocal people on this forum and you argue ALL topics and aspects of RL.
To try and tell us that you aren't a fan of the sport of RL would suggest that either you are a loser with no life apart from this forum or you are indeed a fan of the sport of Rugby League.
If you were simply a fan of Parramatta, why is 70% (or more looking at the threads you have started) of your posts not in a Parramatta forum and in fact involve general Rugby League?
But hey, that makes sense, you better throw a useless insult in somewhere, fool.
And another thing knobjockey - take my club away (you already took my second and fight like hell against letting it back in) and what is RL to me?
Melbourne cheating. Super League killing off good clubs and alienating good fans. A code dying in the bush. A plaything to a media mogul. Occasional joy through watching quality rep games - when their eligibility status isn't compromised. Occasional joy through watching a side like the Tigers win a comp.
We live with the memory of much evil and heartless crap that was never part of the sporting landscape pre 1995. It's our clubs that have kept us interested in a code that has otherwise pissed us off no end.
spot on!..We live with the memory of much evil and heartless crap that was never part of the sporting landscape pre 1995. It's our clubs that have kept us interested in a code that has otherwise pissed us off no end.
Already happened.
Still maintained an interest in league, and kinda sorta started being interested in the Tigers.
spot on!..
that is the reason why i am club first, code second.
before the superleague debacle, i read, bought & attended almost everything to do with league.
my club was f*cked around left right & centre because of it. we lost players, our coach, our ceo & then looked like losing our identity in a merger with easts. all thanks to the stupidity, arrogance & outright shamefulness of cretins running or attempting to run the league.
now i follow my club, but i do not buy any literature etc & most of my time on this forum is spent laughing as opposed to being too caught up in the game.
i just love it when the thought police tell me how to think or what i am thinking.
Me too. The season ticket I once had went because I moved. However, the RLW subscription, the books etc all went. I used to check the Bears and Jets reserve grade rosters to see who was in or out. I used to check Manly's FG side to see if the broke the 13 import rule. I religiously did the corny crosswords "Down. 3. Nickname of Magpies fullback. J O E C O O L".
Post 1995 and the SL bullsh*t and all the feral bullsh*t that goes with it - no more. Pre SL no one ever thought of punting a rival fans club.
People like BDH just don't get it - because they came along post 1995 and just have this pathetic Gen Y "me me me" attitude. They wouldn't have a clue about following a Kangaroo tour or getting to bed late every Wednesday night because Balmain were playing Central Queensland at Scully Park in the Amco Cup. Or getting to the ground at 11.30 on Sunday Morning to see all 3 grades.
All that is gone. Only the skeleton remains. And the integrity of my club.
