Could do with a little help from you Aussie based fans out there.

I'm moving to Sydney early next year (hopefully February if the Visa gets sorted) and now need to pick an NRL team to support. My office is in Chatswood and we will probaly end up living somewhere North of the river.

Which NRL teams are realtively easy to get to (by car and / or public transport) around this area and how easy is it to buy tickets for individual games ?

Any help would be much appreciated

Chatswood is a nice place, it's where I had my Christmas barbecue. I think Manly is your closest club although if the North Sydney Bears come back then that will be your closest representative team.

You could pretty much take your pick because many of the Sydney clubs play at ANZ stadium or the SFS. SFS is pretty central, walkable from the centre and the ANZ is a half hour drive. Some of the clubs like Parramatta and Penrith are further out than you would probably think. Penrith being almost an hours drive from the centre.

Being a Saints fan, Toppy could take the logical step...
