[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 771507, member: 12207"] I'm a Roosters (Eastern suburbs of Sydney) fan, and our biggest rivalry is against The South Sydney Rabbitohs. This is one of the bigger rivalries in the comp, with both teams being foundation sides that date back to 1908. The Roosters and Souths have a pretty bitter rivalry, with each encroaching on eachothers territory and representing different demographics (East more affluent, South less so - at least originally... all those areas are ****ing expensive now). Souths accused Easts of poaching a lot of its players and in tern got half of Easts' juniors territory annexed and dedicated to Souths back in the 50s. As a result, Easts talent base was gutted for years and they weren't competitive again until the 70s really. There's plenty of other rivalries of course, but I reckon that's one of the best. Broncos v Cowboys has become a great one, but it's still pretty new. [/QUOTE]
