The eels is a pretty awful name..... Also have never seen a "bronco" in Brisbane.

You've never seen a bronco in Brisbane? What a terrible way to look at it.

I've never seen a Dragon in Wollongong
I've never seen a Bulldog in Canterbury
I've never seen a rabbitoh in bogansville
I've never seen a Knight in Newcastle
I've never seen a Titan in Gold Coast
I've never seen a Cowboy in North Queensland
I've never seen a Warrior in New Zealand
I've never seen a Rooster in Sydney City
I've never seen an Eel in Parramatta
I've never seen a panther in Penrith
I've never seen a storm in Melbourne
I've never seen a shark in cronulla
I've never seen a sea eagle in Manly
I've never seen a raider in Canberra

By that logic I guess every team should be called the *insert city name* trees. I mean every place has trees right? Or maybe buildings? Yeah that has a nice ring to it. Cronulla Buildings, that's something I can get behind. I've seen plenty of them in Cronulla..

Mup.

I have only been to Melbourne and Brisbane. So I can only make a statement on these two. I saw a Storm in melbourne (this name gets the tick of approval) however I didn't see any Broncos in Brisbane.

i havent been to the other places so i was unsure whether there was actually a dragon ln Kogarah or wild tigers living alongside the public in Balmain. I had my suspicions that these names may be slightly innacurate ie the dragon is actually residing in Hurstville etc but I was not 100% sure. Please feel free to update my list to state that every inaccurate team name is stupid.

I also like your idea about the buildings and trees. Are you a scholar of some sort? Your statement seems revolutionary, plenty of risk but certainly a large payoff should every area infact have a building.

You said you've never seen a Bronco in Brisbane. So using the same logic, I said all the nicknames I haven't seen in all of those places. I sure as **** haven't seen a Storm in Melbourne, so no, no tick of approval there bud.

Using the same way of thinking as you did is how I came up with this 'revolutionary idea'. Nice attempt in try to pay me out, but in fact I was just using the same logic you presented. Now do you realise how much of a brain dead **** you sounded like? Hope so. Dense ****'s on this site everywhere.

You seem a little mad did you just discover that there are no buildings in penrith? I had a feeling but didn't want to say anything.

But in all seriousness are we going to get this tree thing up and running? Will you contact the nrl directly or should I? To be honest I feel like I should be left off the committee though, I mean my attention to detail is poor. I made a silly statement about the broncos in a muck around thread on my favourite forum. I can't be trusted. Besides I am going to NZ next weekend so i will busy, but hey I'll let you know if I manage to spot a warrior.

My oztag team is 'the penetrators'. I have no problem putting that up for the award of the worst name.

There was a team for Oxfam Trailwalker (a 100km trail walk/run) last year called "Three guys, one girl and a tough route."

Yeah, apparently the koori word 'parramatta' literally means 'where eels lay down' or 'where eels sleep', or very similar.

could be worse... Cronulla is derived from an Aboriginal word kurranulla, meaning 'place of pink seashells

Geez, you might never have SEEN a shark in Cronulla, but I sure as Hell FELT one as it thudded into me and then slid on past my left leg as I was bobbing around waiting for my mates in the ski boat one sunny arvo in Port Hacking. 1998 it was.

Didn't need any friggin' skis to walk on water that day, let me tell you. I deadset flew into the boat like a breaching humpback whale. Probably resembled that albino whale from a few years ago too, but that's another story.

So...at least our mascot is friggin' legit.

The socceroos would have to be up there considering the governing body uses football in its name.

Yeah but the governing body previously used the name soccer and socceroo's is a household name in the football/soccer world when it comes to australia
