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. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loiner
2nd explanation is interesting.
- Another explanation says that in the 19th century there were many yards and closes around Briggate whose =#FF0000back entrances were known as Low Ins or Loins, hence Loiner.

| Thanks for the replies guys....very interesting, love hhistory on rugby league.
Brett Hodgsons junior club, Western Suburbs Magpies (one half of the joint venture that is now Wests Tigers in the NRL ) were originally called the Fruit Pickers, the area they originally formed from was predominately rural, orchards farms etc
The other half of the Joint venture - Balmain Tigers - were called the Watersiders on account of Balmains proximity to Sydney harbour
With a bit of luck if you blokes keep playing the way yous are I will get to watch the entire final series and hopefully a premiership.
Is it a 5 week series?
Or is your next game a grand final qualifier?
I know Wolves get next week off and then get to choose their opponents....sounds a much better situation to the bloody Macintyre system we use here
