The last week or so I have surfed a few of the other fan forums trying to find fans opinions on some youngsters I like (following youngsters from as early as possible to NRL is my favourite hobby)
Thought id make a few observations on the good and bad of the sites I looked at.
Newcastle has an excellent forum, well moderated, once I mentioned I was a tiger fan, just like every thread here it went straight to where will Moltzen play, and who will be the other (half or fullback). But they have an excellent section where each player has their own thread dedicated to techinical analysis of their football. There is a warning that fan comments like "cant wait to see him play" or he my favourite player will be deleted. as well as senseless comments like he is soft or rubbish. It an excellent section I would love if we had something similar.
Brisbane-Rubbish site, there are no moderators or it seems that way, from time to time i think our moderators are a little heavy handed, now I know why! almost every thread is filled with blokes just flaming each other.
Nth Qld- I pretty good site, well organised, but there is not much traffic and there is seems to be alot of illinformed pundits on the site.
There is also loads of good talk and a couple blokes clearly inside the camp, one despite pretending not to be, wouldn't surprise me if he was on the coaching staff, continually saying stuff like "we think such and such has improved such and such in the offseason" , then claiming just to be a fan, even after be called out about knowing of every announcement before it happened and never being wrong :slight_smile:
Canberra- Good site, heaps of good chat, alot of knowledgeable fans, i like it.
Just some insight on other sites.
BTW our site is great compared to others, others a good too, but we should be proud of ours, it has the most posts of the sites I looked at, and one of the most friendly atomspheres (along with Newcastle)

Do others check out other clubs sites??
