If you get a job in Leeds will you start feeling all warm about the Rhinos?

Thus in pretty short time I'd have some sort of affinity with the place. One of my mates is from Bolton and worked in Leeds. He got to know the Leeds lads quite well (speaks highly of Ryan Bailey!!!) and went to loads of games. I'm not really into hating teams or places. I love Wigan, but apart from Saints, everyone else is fine by me. I have no problem with Leeds, always enjoy going over there.

I'm presuming Brisbane Rhino chose to work in Australia and that he wasn't made to go there. So I would expect him to be more like my sister who loves the place and won't hear a bad word. Maybe he is one of those Brits who become more British when they leave the country. Who knows? I await the answer with baited breath.

Although I have never lived there long term I have also been fortunate enough to visit Oz for several months and I have a couple of very good Aussie friends who visit us here whenever they are over. They would have never have expected me to become an "Aussie" and start supporting Australia in RL internationals if I had gone to live there permanently. Not a chance.
