Rugby League

Big long shot here, but are there any other Rugby League fans? Particularly of the Engage Super League?

I enjoy watching rugby every 10 bluemoons when it's on TV here.

There is a game up in Jacksonville on January 26th between the English champions Leeds Rhinos, and Australian NRL team the South Sydney Rabbitohs (Owned by Russell Crowe) Anyone who can get there i highly recommend it!

League fan, but follow NRL, don't follow ESL at all sorry.
I support the Parra Eels (supported forever) and the GC Titans (new local team)

Seems the game in Jacksonville was well supported

Ah big up, as a Parra fan, what did you think of Chris Thorman? He is back now playing for the Giants in the ESL for my team (Huddersfield Giants)

I dont specifically have a set team in NRL, i do enjoy collecting the jerseys. Have a Penrith, Canberra, Newcastle and Souths one

I thought Thorman went OK and had his moments. Probably needed more time to adjust. Also the year he came over wasn't a great year for us so it's hard to shine in those circumstances.

How's he going over there for the Giants?

Thorman is the captain of the giants and has been moved to Full Back, which seems to be working fine. Our current roster includes John Skandalis and George Gatis, we had Brad Drew until last year who was absolutly sensational!

HUGE dragons fan here :D what do you guys predict for the new season? im thinking roosters a big surprise to finish top 4, broncos also up there at the top of the ladder and raiders, panthers and manly at the bottom (yeh i know manly is a big call lol) FIRE UP DRAGONS!

for the super league, it looks like Leeds are running away with it again....Huddersfield managed to beat St Helens on monday which is nice, and we play Hull Kingston Rovers on Sunday

For the NRL i dont keep in touch with it as much as i did before mainly due to the TV here in Canada, much better coverage of NRL in the UK. Think the Roosters could have a good year and same with the Broncos.
