My teams

Inspired by Grog linking me to an old post of his about which sports teams he follows and why, here's my list.

Rugby League:

Tribalism here. Mum grew up in Kogarah (around the corner from what is now known as WIN Jubilee Stadium). Dad grew up in Kiama, on the NSW South Coast (and pretty much in the heart of Illawarra Steelers territory) and ended up living in the St George area.

Australian Rules:

Geographic convenience, really. Well, Sydney and whoever's playing Collingwood ;-)

Rugby Union:


Double lot of teams here. First up, in the NSW Shute Shield is Randwick

Back when I first started getting into rugby union, George Gregan was captain of the Wallabies. Randwick was his club rugby side. Always liked the little fella, stuck with the 'wicks ever since.

In the Super comp, again, geographical convenience gives me the Waratahs

American Football and Major League Baseball

Don't really follow a team, but I will catch whatever game happens to be on OneHD when I'm home. 

Ice Hockey

The newest sport I've been hooked into following.

The Montreal Canadienes.

Fault is all my (Canadian) girlfriend's. Whilst she does live in Ontario, this is her team. And I wasn't allowed to follow the Toronto Maple Leafs, because they suck (although, I write this on the day that the Canadienes were beaten in overtime by the Boston Bruins and knocked out of the playoffs 4-3. Whereas the Leafs didn't make the playoffs - again). What would be nice would be to get some NHL games broadcast here (I'm looking at you, OneHD)


Pretty much all of them. Plus, the obligatory cricket (NSW Blues and Australia).
