Saw this documentary recently (for the second time) on the classic encounters between Wests v Manly ('the Fibros and the Silvertails') during the late 70s...entertaining stuff from a great era of footy! I'm just sorry wasn't around during these times. Anyway, this is some advertising link for the dvd - worth the buy if you haven't seen it.

ok. grant barracks for the 'saint george illawarra dragons'. they are the current premiers, and are coached by wayne bennet, the most successful coach in history. dan goes for the 'new zealand warriors', a team with big maori's whose bash and barge style is always entertaining. i support the 'south sydney rabbitohs' a foundation club which is owned by russell crowe. that's why the hats and jackets he gives oprah etc. have a bunny on them. they are the most successful team in history, but haven't won the big show since 1971. so pick a team, and enjoy the show.Comment

i will be rooting/barracking for the "dragons" as well. SCORCH the mascot (while havin' a kinda fucked up "pete's gragon" face) is a hooker!
As far as SCORCH's concerned, there’s simply no downside to being a Dragon - he's strong, he can breathe fire and he can fly. Even better than being a Dragon is being the Mascot for the mighty St George Illawarra team. Where as he'll tell you in his jovial way - "this year's our year for sure." The thought of defeat never enters his mind and with every Dragon try he delivers a scorching burst of fire.
SCORCH is an eternal optimist. No matter what the situation, he has a way of casting aside all the negatives and seeing only the positives. He’s seen his fearless Dragons play hard to know that there's no such thing as a lost cause. For SCORCH, not only is the glass half-full, but it’s a great glass in itself and the water is shiny, clear and probably going to be the best he's ever tasted. Life, just like Rugby League, is all about moving forward and building momentum
On the field, SCORCH is always ready to fire off a well timed pass or to make that courageous last ditch, head-on tackle.

when i first watched your game, i pretty much got it straight away. the main diff is our blokes can't throw it forward, or tackle/block anyone without the ball. oh, and the attack has six tackles (offensive plays) to move the ball upfield before it's a handover. give it a go man, it really is an entertaining game.
ash- one new fan at a time!!!!Comment

Unfortunately, to qualify as a Roosters supporter there's a stict criteria that you must abide by:
a) Drink latte regularly
b) Have to own a 2 bedroom home costing minimum $1 million aussie dollars
c) Being a "sensitive new age guy" who wears pink shirts
The absurd list is endless...Comment
