Good call. Although, to be fair, sl*gging off rugby supporters is a bit like slashing the tyres on somebody's wheelchair. They're an easy target.
Jag, A little bit surprised by your comment considering your post of a couple of hours ago

Spot on, DLB.
Some of us seem to be preoocupied with sticking it to rugby every chance we get. Why? Different games, different ways of showing support. When I lived in Wellington I was a season-ticket holder for the Canes and the Lions. Yeah, the atmosphere wasn't anywhere near that of the Nix games but I enjoyed going along and watching the games. I'm a Warriors season-ticket holder up here, the atmosphere isn't the same as the Nix, so what? Going by some of the comments on here I should rip up my season-ticket and never go to Mt Smart again 'cos the atmosphere is rubbish compared to the ROF!
Why don't we just celebrate what we've got with the Nix and rise above all the other sh*t. If some rugby guys are impressed by what we're doing and want to try and do the same at Canes or Lions games, good on them. "
I totally agree with the original points you made DLB.
I was merely applauding what I saw as a funny comment.
My point about being an easy target referred to the fact that there is a discernible difference in how rugby and league fans support their teams in this country compared to football supporters. Everybody knows it so they are an easy target for the "We are better supporters than you" type stuff. My earlier post referred to that. It's too easy and simplistic to rubbish everything about rugby because it's supporters aren't the most exciting in the country or we don't like the game so we should concentrate on our game and leave them to it.
Serves me right for going for a cheap laugh, I s'pose.

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