Have always been a Dragons fan myself. Then the Warriors came along and made me question my commitments for the red and whites.
 
While I support the Warriors and go to their games when I can, I'm always going to support the Dragons when they play the Warriors.
 
Being a Dragons fan is kind of like being a Warriors fan, except worse. I have endured 3 GF losses. The hardest was against the Storm when I was in the pub looking incredibly smug at halftime in front of legions of Melbourne fans. How I wish I was around in the 60's when they won 11 premierships in a row.
 
My favourite players growing up were Mark Coyne (anyone remember that try in the state of origin?), Scott Gourley and Nathan Brown.

Losing McKinnon is a MAJOR problem.

I'm a closet Bulldogs fan as well, but Warriors first.

I support the Warriors. 

McKinnon is a brilliant player, pity about his injury.  I like Epilahame Lauaki and Manu Vatuvei, it's unfortunate the latter couldn't catch a cold, because he really is a top-notch player.

The Melbourne Pelicans ?

Forza expansion...  Storm was a pretty gay name anyway.

Dragons 'til I die. Being a south coast boy, I grew up supporting the Illawarra Steelers, one of my childhood highlights being getting to meet Rod Wishart. Then I move to Nu Zulland and they merge with St. George... Could be worse haha. I'm also a well-wisher when it comes to the Warriors, but I wouldn't class myself as a fan. Just a bloke who wants to see NZ league do well.

Naturally I also support the Blues and NSW Country.

I was a Gold Coast Seagulls fan - support the under dog!! Saw them play the Knights in 1995 and was hooked till they got flicked.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

love the warriors. losing mckinnon is a amassive blow. the way i see with him there they were threatening around the rucks because of our offload play and on both flanks with ropati/crockett and tate/vatuvei both being very dangerous. without mckinnon it makes a lot of our game dependent on that width and the second rowers playing well.
i think youll struggle to go past the storm again this year but my dark well not so dark horse would be the roosters. a forward pack with o'meley, myles, mason, tupou and fitzgibbon will dominate enough games that theyll be there and there abouts

Warriors, I'm a season ticket holder. McKinnon will be a big loss but we'll be easily in the top eight this year. Dunno if I can hope for any more than that.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.
