Most of the hate is on this forum.
Figure it out, get rid of dipshits like BunniesMan and there would be no hate.
Most of the hate is on this forum.
How can you say this with a straight face? How many people marched to get Souths back into the competition? What was the average crowd the year before they were kicked out? What was the average crowd the year after they were reinstated?You hate their fans? Souths fans have stuck by their team through thick and thin, and are still there now. I don't see what's to hate
Souths fans think that the game owes them.
Souths fans act superior as if the game revolved around them and their ancient achievements.
Ungrateful merkins. I've never met a souths fan who is grateful for the support that the rugby league community gave them when they were kicked out. People like Nick Politis, saints and Roosters fans who are rivals rallied behind them as did the rest of the league community.
Roflmao. Us? Bandwagoners? Fmd, look at our crowd numbers between 2007 and 2011 for a team that hadn't won a finals game in that period. It matched and even surpassed more successful teams like the Roosters and Manly in that period.The vast majority of Souths fans are a bunch of bandwagoners. They will show up in great numbers when it is trendy - when they have Ray Martin or Mike Whitney to lead them around, or when they are having a successful year like now. But when they are doing nothing, the only evidence is the bunny stickers on cars and empty seats in stadiums.
There are many reasons. As said the whole ?pride of the league? thing. I don?t know a single non souths fan who is proud of souths. The fans go on and on about the 20 premierships like we are all meant to bow down before them. I don?t care about anything that happened before I was born. If the tigers had of won the last 75 premierships before I was born it wouldn?t mean sh*t to me. Its like your great grand father telling you about all the pussy he used to get when he was 20. The fans reek of arrogance despite having absolutely no reason too.

I was one of the many neutral fans who marched for souths to get back into the comp. I went to the USA game at redfern and the You Am I concert/fundraiser. I bet I did more to get souths back in the comp then most of their fans on here did. As soon as they re-entered instead of a thanks, souths fans gave every clubs supporters a big ?f*ck you?* and went back to their scummy ways. If a Sydney team got kicked out now I guarantee souths fans wouldn?t lift a finger to help, they?d probably be the first ones laughing.

I know every fan base has a certain mong element, and believe me the tigers have their share, but souths have by far the biggest. At Sundays game I thought I was in an 80s time warp. The majority of souths fans look like they live in a caravan park and have never worked a day in their life. They don?t understand the most basic rules of the game, swear and carry on much worse then any other fans by far.

At Sundays game they showed the highlights from last weeks win against saints. The ?highlights? consisted of all the tries souths scored, along with Inglis knocking out Young and Burgess pushing Morris into the signage. When they showed the Inglis hit the stadium erupted in applause like they had just witnesses souths win the grand final. Cheering a bloke getting knocked out, absolute scum.
*
Russell crowe publicly bagged out other teams saying he doesn?t play ?chequebook? rugby league?then proceeded to buy Sam Burgess, Roy Asotasi, David Taylor, Greg Inligs etc, then had the hid to slam Chris Sandow for leaving for better money.
*
This year the team has a certain amount of ?thugness? about them. I like Sam Burgess but this year he has gone on with so much unnecessary crap its ridiculous, pushing Brett Morris well after he had scored is a prime example. Dave Taylor and Issac Luke are two of the least likeable players in the NRL. Taylor is the biggest bloke in the NRL but only ever runs at blokes 40kgs lighter then him then carries on like he has run over the top of mike Tyson. Luke is filth and purposely tries to injure players. Then the whole Greg Inglis ?planes don?t fly in the rain? thing. They are just an unlikable team.

Jealousy .
A lot of other fans are jealous of the Souths history of success combined with the last 40 years of poor results makes them an easy target for the jealous haters.
why would you pick on the Sharks who have never won a comp or other teams that have had limited success over the last 40 years.
The haters worst fear is Souths winning a GF.
This + a few other of the fans on here is why I dislike Souths (or at least reading about them on this forum)Pretty much because of Bunniesman
Roflmao. Us? Bandwagoners? Fmd, look at our crowd numbers between 2007 and 2011 for a team that hadn't won a finals game in that period. It matched and even surpassed more successful teams like the Roosters and Manly in that period.
I'm just curious as to the reason? Sure I get the rival teams like Dragons and Roosters, but it seems like everybody on here has it in for Souths more than any other team.
WTF are you smoking Tonearm? What is this revisionist crap?
We got no support in 1999 from those clubs and individuals you've mentioned. The 14 clubs, yours included, were quite happy to kick us out and raid out junior base. If Politis was so supportive why were there poster ads put up for Roosters games in Malabar and Maroubra throughout the 2000 season? He seemed quite happy to have a new market for supporters and junior talent. I can also distinctly remember Dennis Fitzgerald gleefully saying that our last round game in 1999 at Parra Stadium would be our last ever. The only semblance of support we got from the clubs you mentioned was through their supporters at the two rallies. And anyway the vast majority of those supporting us were Norths and Wests fans.
As for answering the OP's actual question the answer is, quite simply jealousy. Jealousy that we're financially sound, have a huge supporter base, have recruited well on and off the field, and are now enjoying on-field success. I wasn't on this forum in 2007 but I very much doubt there would've been as many forumites as there are now wishing us failure in the finals back then.
And let me say to the Souths-haters on this forum, you reap what you so. If you think some of us are insufferable now, we will all be 100 times as worse should we be victorious on 30/9 purely because of the hate we've been copping these last 3 years.
Why would you care what a bunch of people on an online forum think?
We're having our best season in 23 years. Just sit back and enjoy it for once!
This.
Not the contents of the post, but the message the post implies.
I've witnessed three premierships with my own eyes, two great sides and one of the best forwards the game has ever seen in my life. The last two of those have been done as one of the relative paupers of the competition. All I've seen from Souths is one catostrophe after another and a club that has, until recent years, expected everyone to respect it for its history while it fails to engage with its clearly large supporter base and basically takes a massive sh*t on it's own impressive heritage.
Souths have 20 premierships, but I bet you every Manly, Broncos and Canterbury fan has witnessed more GF victories than any Souths fan on here. And that's the point. Heritage is worth jack if you're useless. Just ask Valleys about that.
I wish them well, but not too well. A few painful failures before the inevitable big prize is all I ask.
