... remember the shock when the streets where filled with supporters protesting...thats passion , thats what this games creates..
I despise the rabbits and their supporters and the media love-in that comes with them, all that crap that "they're good for the game", "their everyone's 2nd favourite team", "you know footy's healthy when Souffs are going well", blah, blah F#$kING blah.
My wife used to work for a promotions company before we were married. She came home one day and told me that she had to march for them, sing their stupid team song like she was a passionate supporter and help whip up "the passion".
I told her that we could do without the money and it was akin to prostitution, I was extremely disappointed that she took the gig ( as that was all it was to her, a bit of a laugh and she knew how much it pissed me off ). Makes you wonder how much of that crowd was hired help and how many were real fans.
I got so sick of seeing those white rabbit stickers on cars that I talked a mate into giving me one, stuck it on the back of my van and put one of those red no smoking type signs over it. It gets plenty of laughs and always prompts the question "Who do you support?" I always reply with
"Manly. I was born a winner". No comeback to that.
The only reason they should be in the comp is because someone has to come last.
It was funny last Friday night, a young kid about 10 was having some friendly banter with a guy near me..."we've won more Grand Finals than any other team" he proclaimed proudly.
The response "Really!, did your dad tell you that?"
I hope that kid doesn't see one.
It's as bad as Saints fans crapping on about 11 in a row, big deal that was nearly 50 years ago.
Rant over.

No real issue with the bunnies. Some of their fans may change this though lol. If they were allowed back should Norths been allowed back in?
Nah, their losers too. When was it? Didn't they win two in a row back in..the 1930's. The curse of the Bears shall never be lifted.
