Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

GO ROOSTERS...........!! nobody likes us we dont care!
bulldogs, eels, tigers, dragons, broncos would probably be the biggest teams in terms of support and have the longest bandwagon  www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_smile.gif" alt=" icon_smile.gif" title="Smile" />
never a dull moment in the nrl and its dam near impossible to call a premier/ playoff contenders at the start of the season |

Lewis dominated football in Brisbane as well. At a time when the Brisbane competition was still very good. />
He won premierships with Valleys and Wynnum - the former when they weren't the strongest team in the competition in my view. />
Wynnum-Manly circa 1984 would have beaten any Sydney side around. />
They beat a Souths side featuring Belcher, Meninga and Lindner (to name a few) 42-8 in the Brisbane GF of 1984, by playing sparkling champagne football that was unmatched in the country at that time.'" />
Sure, there's a bit of bias, I did see plenty of the great Parra side of the early-mid 80's and I didn't see any Brisbane side play. />
Anyone would have struggled to beat Parra or the Dogs from 81-86. Hell, Australia would have struggled to beat them. Maybe its the same for Wynnum. />
I can't really comment on the Brissy comp back then, we didn't get it in Sydney. All I can say is based on what I saw of Lewis and Kenny over their careers, Kenny is a gnat's pube in front for mine but I have absolutely no dramas with anyone having The King in front.

I have seen all of the Sydney comp between 1978-1985 (inclusive).
I've got that Brisbane 1984 GF on disc, if you ever want to have a look...
Peter Jackson also played for Souths, in addition to Meninga, Belcher and Lindner. Still got done 8-42.
Re- Lewis circa 1984. He had the best year you could ever have - that was why it was compared to Lockyer's from a few years ago...
Wally Lewis 1984:-
Won Brisbane Grand Final with Wynnum (captain)
Won Panasonic Cup Final with Brisbane (beating Canterbury and Parramatta in early rounds) (captain)
Won Origin 2-1 with Queensland (captain)
Won Ashes with Australia 3-0 (captain)
Club, State and International. />
The greatest five-eighth to play our game.

I always find Poms tend to support whatever club has the nicest looking shirt or whatever one they win on ebay. />
A lot support Melbourne Storm because 'Neighbours' is shot down there. />
Quite a few seem to support Brisbane Broncos too because the maroon shirts remind them of the colour of their skin after yet another cheap package holiday to the Costa del sol |
