Superthread LXVIII: Honouring Sore Losers from Queensland

well for one, footballness..

Debatable. You can't just claim St. George's successes for Illawarra.

 

[muzby]

don't need to.

even removing st george from the equation, wollongong and newcastle are one genuine premiership apiece..

 

[Bazal]

Wollongong is a poor mans Newcastle tbh

 

[Dutchy]

And that is saying something. Newcastle is pretty poor, and a shithole.

 

[muzby]

does that mean tinkler has to move there?

 

[Misanthrope]

don't need to.

When did Illawarra win a premiership? Ones won with St George doing the heavy lifting do not count.

It's a more aesthetically pleasing place, for one. Northern suburbs especially.

It's got mountains/the bush/national park at doorstep. I can walk up my street and im in the bush. 10 minutes from rock climbing spot. Bushwalk in the morning then straight to the beach is pretty great.

The cbd itself is pretty shit. No doubt. Although it's weirdly improved in the last year or so as a bunch of cool bars have popped up. But the centre of wollongong is pretty crap. And the less said about much of the south the better.

Living in the general northern region of Wollongong, however, is fantastic.

It's also much closer to Sydney, which allows the best of both worlds. Easy to get to sydney should something good be on up there. Doesn't have the traffic or any of that bullshit that goes with living in Sydney.

How well do you know Newie, though? The Lake Macquarie area is absolutely gorgeous, and you've got infinitely better beaches in Newcastle.

The CBD isn't Sydney level, but from the sounds of it, it's probably ahead of Wollongong's.

You've got your dodgy suburbs, but the beauty of the place is you don't need to go to Sydney to get what you need. For the most part, it's all available in Newcastle.

Bunniesman lives at Coogee. Which part of Coffs Harbour is that in?

Melbourne

Kellyville

bowraville

Don't you mean Queensland?

 

[Dutchy]

Shut the f**k Up!

 

[Misanthrope]

Shut the f**k Up!

Dude, you at least have the option to ignore him. My MOD POWERZ mean I cannot.

With great power, comes great responsibility.

 

[Dutchy]

I've tried that with others, I always end up hitting "view post."

:lol:
yeah, nah. They're good. Infinitely better? I wouldn't say better.

I didn't say there was a need to go to sydney to get what you need, i said when something is on in sydney it's easy to get to. Bands and other such things are an easy drive, rather than several hours.

This is actually a pretty silly argument, although a good distraction from economics study:lol: But still, the mountains meeting the sea is f**king great, and I love this area.

 

[Bazal]

I have a morbid curiosity that prevents me from ignoring people. I just have to see the bottom of the barrel.

 

[Red Bear]

The only person I've had on permanent ignore is Hayntrain (which may explain my not knowing the Wazn story).

Locky would be a good one to ignore as well tbh. BM before there was a BM

 

[Misanthrope]

:lol:

Quite impressive, but how are the beaches themselves?

 

[dogslife]

I enjoy Haynetrain's contributions

 

[afinalsin666]

To be completely fair, Newy beaches are a merkin for rips. You got a ten meter safe zone that everyone cramps into, drift out a tiny bit and your dead. I've had to be towed back in plenty of times because the rips are just mental.
