I’m proud to be a loyal Rugby League fan as well a Newcastle Knights supporter. I have lots of love and respect and support for every Team in the NRL competition.
As a kid who grew up in the Super League war, marching through the streets of Sydney as a 5 year old against the "evil empire" and their decision that South Sydney had no place in the year 2000 and 2001 competitions, this was absolute vindication for all of us. I broke down in tears when we pulled clear even though I have a soft spot for the Doggies and attended many of their games for several years with my cousins who were blue and white. Something that gets lost in the fold of this moment is the contribution of the entire rugby league world supporting Souths during our fightback. For every Rabbitoh that fought for our return, there were Easts, Norths, Wests, Balmain, Manly, St George, Illawarra, Parramatta, Canterbury, Cronulla, Penrith and just about every other clubs fans marching with us. If those in charge in the late 90s had their way, we'd all have been robbed of this moment. Dreams come true after all.
Mate, there is a great podcast called the rugby league digest. They are wrapping up a 100 or so episode series on the super league war. You might find it interesting.
Bless the Teams that stayed loyal to the NSWRL during that war.. I've always been a Rooster thru n thru since 1971 but we supported the Bunnies getting back into the Comp where they always belonged, it wasn't right what happened and yes we beat the Murdoch scam, I had a few mates back in the 70's n 80's who loved the bunnies, It was good to see the people beat the cashed up mongrels who almost brought the NSWRL/ARL to its knees. I never watched the super league Games as a personal protest.. Yet we, The Bunnies n Easts hate each other on the field with a passion to this day, Funny really.. Long live the NRL
As a Warriors supporter, this was one of my fav Finals Footy, that Rabbitohs team was absolute master class, reminded me of Storms when they was running a muck in the NRL. Just the moment itself says it all 💯
It says you have 1000 plus comments on this channel, are they all you copy and paste trolling? I'm a Manchester United fan, as well as a Rabbitohs fan and if you are genuinely also a United fan, I wish you weren't because we don't need you.

Bulldogs had a great run through the semis causing some big upsets but were just no match for Souths. Rabbitohs were on a mission that year after back to back prelim losses. They were like a runaway train.

The sad thing about this was, that Merritt's legs couldn't carry him just a few more months. AJ taking Merritt's spot was the final piece of the puzzle and helped the team over the line and I'm happy for him but geez it would have been amazing for a man who had been there and seen the dark days to have been a part of this match. I mean yes he went to cronulla briefly but he was there for about 2 dozen games when the team was garbage and came back in a year Souths won the spoon.
I guess that's just sport for you. Sometimes champion players don't get to be there in the end, when the team achieves ultimate glory but we never forget what they did to pave the way forward for those that followed. Back on AJ I reckon he breaks a few more records yet and I can't wait for it!
As a Rabbitohs fan, one of my legit favourite things in the comments has been fans of other clubs, like you, coming together and giving us kudos for this win. Nothing wrong with banter but stuff like this is genuinely heart warming. Good luck to your boys in 2024!
I commend your loyalty to and your passion for your team but there was more to the build up and emotional release for this win other than 'team a hasn't won the gf in x years.' Also yes Parra did have some years near the bottom but not as long as and as consistently as Souths did and Parra fans didn't have to deal with the whole being kicked out of the comp thing. No doubt when your boys do win, it will be a huge reaction and I'd rather Parra than the Panthers for sure but it'll stop short of this reaction, just because of all the extra circumstances and emotion going into this very moment.
After Graham's foul hitting shoulder charge ( 1:27:50 ), the Commentary Team discuss who will be motivated by it. Johns responds with, "...it'll fire up the Bulldogs..." Well, well, Andrew, we all know what happened next, don't we?!!!!! THE MIGHTY BUNNIES JUST SMASHED 'EM WITH POINTS AFTER POINTS.🤣
