tuckerfa Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 We have just moved to Wellington Point which is near Brisbane, So I'm following Brisbane Broncos. I followed Saints in the UK Super league, but my true team is my home town team. Barrow. My first game here was Broncos against the Eels. Great game. Broncos scored the winner just after the full time hooter had gone. Brilliant kick through by Lockeyer. I was sat with a number of the Paramatta under 20 side. I have also got my tickets for the World Cup final. The Tuckers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thekevjones Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm a massive Widnes fan, since 1984. The first game I witnessed was at Naughton Park against Bradford. Widnes won 2-1 :unsure: If we ever get Down Under i'd probably follow the Roosters in Sydney or the Storm in Melbourne. Probably depends on where we choose to live! Oh my, how cool would it be to go to a State of Origin match?:arghh: I love the footy show too, its hilarious. Barry Mc and Terry O I think must be fans since they are trying to replicate the same humour on Sky.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynandsean Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 We were 'soft southerners' in the UK, bloody hated rugby league :biglaugh: much preferred union but................ we absolutely love it here, Gold Coast Titans are the business!!! and winning plenty, especially at home - cr*p really when playing away LOL Still love union but have been attending Titans home games - we live within walking distance of stadium - and thoroughly enjoy it - and I (Lyn) actually understand the rules :err: but ......... still haven't had a satisfactory answer as to what the pathetic bloody scrums are all about!!! LOL - excuse for a cuddle perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoanneHattersley Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Ok, I am a Brisbane BRoncos girl! My husband is not only impressed that I watch it and know about it but I know players names too! Think I shocked him last week! State of Origin is brilliant - atmosphere in QLD is amazing. Is it the same in Sydney??? Game 3 is on 2nd July and the current score is NSW 1 QLD 1 Everything to play for! Come on you MaRoons!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Al&Jo Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I started following Rugby Leauge about 6 years ago when I saw Kevin Sinfield playing for Leeds (my surname is Sinfield) I became a Leeds Rhinos fan there and then. I am originally from Bournemouth and had never heard of Rugby League 'till then! As for who to support in Oz, I really don't know. We are moving to Wodonga on the Victoria/NSW boarder. We will actually be living in Victoria so it should be Melbourne Storm but it all depends who has the nicest kit!! sorry guys.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eindhoven Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hi My hubby was not a major fan of RL but since we got here he's a changed man. He now supports the Manly Sea Eagles and ladies if you thought sport on TV was excessive in the UK it's worse here. It starts on Friday night and does not end until Monday night and it's not like there anything else decent on so there is no arguement for turning it over!

Guest Jo & Clem Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hi, I've supported Wigan since I was a teenager, but like the Tuckers have supported our local team Barrow for as long as I can remember. Steve is a Rugby Union fan. Going to Adelaide so will probably support Melbourne Storm. Jo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Edwards Family Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm a life long Salford fan(shocking I know) Off to Sydney in 5 weeks, I'm leaning towards south Sydney but think I'm gonna 'float' for a few seasons and just pick the best fixture in Sydney and go to that.

Guest r0bly0ns Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Bradford Bulls! Who I will support in Oz depends on where I end up working & living, I'll go for my local team! However I do kind of follow Storm at the moment, and Victoria are offering state sponsorship in my line of work..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
