Hmm, interesting thread. (some parts of it, some parts - less interesting).
With regards to banter with supporters of other teams, the internet is a little bit more focussed. But if you work in an office, "around the water cooler" on Monday morning there's nothing better than reminding your Dragons mate of how appalling they were on the weekend etc. Particularly if it's your team that dusted them.:rockon:
People who get upset about their sporting team getting bagged really need to grow a set and take stock of the things that are actually important in this life: good health, good job, good home, good family.
If QLD get dusted next week, i'm going to be devastated. But I'm not going to cry. And I'm not going to get upset when the inevitable ribbing from my NSW following mates get me back for the last 6 years!

Generally though, NRL fans are a lot more open to ribbing....AFL fans/Melbourne sports fan in general aren't. They are weird.
