Been a Rhinos supporter since I was a kid. We've had quite a dissapointing start to the season, but no doubt it'll be us vs. St. Helens in the final again. With us winning for the fourth time in a row of course!

And Bradford being "up there"? LOLOLOLOLOLOL! They're past it.

Whooooo...... an RL thread!

I'M A LEYTHER TILL I DIE, I'M A LEYTHER TILL I DIE, BUT BY CHRIST I OFTEN WONDER WHY, I'M A LEYTHER TILL I DIE!

One day we'll be back in superduper land, though previous form suggests this isn't a good dream!

OK. Rhinos are REALLY starting to piss me off now. ****ing sort it out lads.

SBWNik · 03-26-2010, 11:12 PM

Not going well is it?
Who do you think you are? Only Wigan and HKR are allowed to be infallible, surely you know that (That line copyright to a poster on RLFans.com, but it holds true...)

We probably won't get the final this year.

Wigan are a team with a lot of history, and KR always do well. I just think we've been shocking so far.

SBWNik · 03-27-2010, 01:21 PM

The thing about history though... well, it's all in the past? Got to say Rhinos are my favourite of the teams from Yorkshire (Placing them behind Leigh, Crusaders and Catalan) and hate seeing them struggle.
Wigan will blow out before the end of the season, but they'll still do well. Oh, and I hate the Pies with a passion....

You a Centurions supporter then? It's weird how nearly every town in Greater Manchester except for the City Of Manchester itself has one or two RL teams. I'm sure with the unlimited funds the owners of Man City have, a new club in Manc isn't impossible...

Also nice to see someone who likes the Rhinos, who isn't a Rhinos supporter! I swear everyone hates us. People have called us the Man United of RL before, which is the most offensive insult you can give to a team from Leeds! And I'd say we're more like Chelsea anyway, always been a consistently good team but the past few years we've become unstoppable.

Until this season, that is...

I'd agree about the Chelsea comparison, you've been a sleeping giant too long.
You'll never get a succesful RL club with the Manchester name, the teams in red and blue that play wendyball are way too successful.
If you look around the towns that make up the RL ring around Manchester - Oldham, Rochdale, Swinton - their isn't the fanbase to support them. You need to get slightly further out to Leigh (yes, sadly I'm a fan. No excuse, I was born there!), Wigan, Widnes and St Helens and then over the Pennines to Hudd before you get anything approaching reasonable support.
Even Salford get pish poor crowds week in week out, although I've got to say that if I lived in Salford, I'd not want to rush down to see them get hammered week in, week out.

Salford City Reds.

I know a couple of guys from Manchester, and they support various RL clubs from the North West. Salford, Leigh, Swinton, Wigan, even Scum Helen's. The only proper Mancunian Rugby team is Sale Sharks, and they're Union which is a ****e sport.
