Winning Grand Finals
-
All Blacks (2015)
Kiwis (2008)
Balmain Tigers (2005)
Waratahs (2014)
Richmond Tigers (2020)
LFC (2019, 2022)
Auckland (2018)
Penrith Emus (hahaha)
Detroit Tigers (Never, they last won in 84 and I didn't support them then)
And for NHL, strangely I've never picked a team although I love watching it.Putting it like that, it's much better than I originally presumed.

The Black Ferns last year was good fun for us bandwagoneers.
Otherwise it's just the ABs and BCs that I'm really invested in.
I have favoured Super and NPC teams, and a useless AFL team, but I don't lose too much nervous energy over them.
Which is kind of cool cause then I can just enjoy the sport. Not to say I was completely neutrally, but I don't need therapy if my favoured team loses.

Someone has a horn for tigers!

I've been relatively lucky much of my life with my teams although it's been rather lean of late:
ABs
Petone
Canes
Canterbury Bulldogs (actually couldn't give a shit anymore but was once a huge fan)
Qld Maroons
Qld Bulls
Black Caps
German soccer team (Kraut dad)
Fulham
Vålerenga
Werder BremenActually there are some absolutely shockers there. By far the best was the ABs in 2011.

Been a pretty brutal few years since 2015 for me...
2017 Lions drawn series.
2019 CWC and RWC, LFC missing out on the league by a point (albeit they did win the UCL)
2020 LFC win the league, but during COVID so less of an opportunity to really enjoy it
2021 Black Caps win test Championship, but again during COVID
2022 T20 World Cup (was at the final), Ireland series loss for the ABs, LFC miss out on the league by a point and also beaten in the UCL final
2023 RWC and inevitable CWC loss (wouldn't surprise if we played in our third final in a row losing to the home team) -

Good man
You'll enjoy this then. Especially as he's likely soon to be playing in Bundesliga
Really just an excuse to post our third strip

Agreed. How have we not noticed this? Burn the witch.

Hmm good question:
- Club team back home Napier Tech have won this year and 1-2 other times of late. Massive turnaround after being hopeless for years.
- Magpies: Won the shield lots, lots of 2nd div finals as well.
- ABs already mentioned
- Warriors....sigh
- Super Rugby I am basically any team in NZ wins is good, then if they are playing each other my priority is chiefs then highlanders. Both had wins in the last decade. Previously it was more when I had mates playing in those teams I would want them to do well.
- I am a transient Brisbane Lions fan but they haven't won since I moved over here.
- NBA I am much more of a player follower then team. Joker and Giannis and Adams usually get my support and 2/3 of them have won recently.
- QLD for State of Origin....not sure if that really counts as its only two teams so laws of averages is you are only a few years away from winning again...unless you are NSW for like 9 years.
- Black Caps - Mentioned here
-Brisbane Heat - Think we won the first season of BBL then nothing since.
Central Districts: Pretty sure we won cricket max..
Personally:
- Won a couple of titles in Canada with my club team (first time they won the provincial and interprovincial titles)
- My basketball team has lost in the finals the last 3 seasons (I was stuck in NZ with Covid for one of them).

I thought this was common knowledge. When S12 started I lived in NSW and didn't live in or support CM or Thames, so why would I support this "Blues" creation?

Jesus man, nobody would ask you to do that!
But you could have supported everyone's 2nd team, the mighty Hurricanes

It's a thing
No need for a poll, just take my word for it

@voodoo too late
Ha, damn you!
I expect it to be the Highlanders to be fair - miles away from everyone and much less threatening. Everyone feels sorry for them really...
-
Not only do i not have a 2nd team in Super Rugby, i barely like my first team
-
Allblacks
Richmond tigers
Melbourne stormAnd everything else nz , kiwis , blackcaps etc
Richmond were the side that always let me down out of that trio , then they went and won 3 premierships 17,19 and 20 .
So yeah, have had a good run of seeing success , but it’s getting a bit leaner now .

Oh boo hoo you haven't won a GF in 3 years, my heart fucking bleeds
