Tonight I'm off to yet another game of NRL. Tonight it is the Brisbane Broncos (my team) against another Queensland team - Gold Coast Titans. I'm with 2 good friends so I will be in good company.
Home games, I've now discovered after the International last week, are a different type of game from a spectator's point of view. Even though supporters are 'barracking' for our own teams the 'atmosphere' of country pitted against country is missing. Last week all Aussies were united against Kiwi's - this week we are not. All part of the fun really.
The team members work so hard all week to get to their weekly match and to win for us and their team, it's exciting particularly when the score is so close and sometimes reaches fever-pitch and a nail-biting finish. Almost to the point when the winning supporters almost feel sorry for the losers - NOT!
I'm hoping our Broncos win their game tonight, as always. I'm wearing the colours, as are my friends Joyce and Averyl - Go Broncos! Go Broncos! There is a little dance that goes with this chant but you will have to take my word for it! :)

Update: Broncos did win the game BUT I wasn't there! After a heavily emotional day i just couldn't bring myself to face the crowds. C'est la vie`
