Which NRL Club has the 'toughest' supporters?

I'm not trying to provoke arguments (this isn't the gay fl section!). However, when you think about the geographic fan base of several Clubs, would you consider Penrith or Parramatta the strongest (toughest), as the Parra fans were once called the 'Parramatta Army'. Or would you say the Bulldogs with their huge Lebanese fan base (I hate them & just can't rate them!). Manly with their large Kiwi fan base on the Northern Beaches, or the Cowboys, who must be tough for living up there in Mining towns & Cattle Stations? Hope you find this Q interesting & it inspires colourful debate! Also 'toughness' being streetwise or genuine hardness! I lived in QLD for four years, but would def rate Cowboys tougher than Broncos... Hell, I forgot about the Warriors, with all of NZ behind them! We may have found the answer.... Its funny though growing up in Soth Western Sydney, we never feared the Maoris, we just beat them! I would never mouth off over there though, in a "Once were Warriors" town. Lebs can only fight 20 on 1, not even Maoris like them!

1. Broncos are the toughest because we are Queenslanders and we outnumber everyone as well
2. Probably Warriors, if they dont win they gone home and flog the wife lol Nahh only joking! I'd say the supporters from Leichhardt, they always seem real passionate and fired up..
3. Bulldogs probably have the toughest supporters (mess with them, and they'll call their cousins, uleh), but the Sharks have the biggest whiners for supporters. Also Manly has the most racist supporters (I've been to a few of their games and I almost always heard one of their supporters call someone who is ethnic something along the lines of 'nigger' or 'coon').
4. I don't know what being tough has to do with supporting your team, but the Warriors are based in South Auckland, which is a pretty tough part of town, predominantly Maori and Polynesian with a few of us white (Pakeha) folk scattered around, it's an industrial area with the same econimic and ethnic struggles as most places, the perfect place to have a Rugby League team......but get us all inside Mt Smart Stadium on a friday night or a sunday arvo......we're all there for one reason mate......its tribal..!! everyone there is a tough bugger, but league has always been a family oriented, working mans game, whatever team we support we all have something in common......being common..!!
5. warriors broncos or raiders
6. I didnt here a mention of the reds V, them wollongong boys are brought up tough Although i would probably say the Warriors, i wouldn't want to mess with any maoris no thankyou.
7. New Zealand Warriors maybe, alot of the black power and mongrel mob gangs support them from what ive heard
8. ye true nz i wonder what its like at a game over there but leave lebs alone what have they ever done to you? just because they support their team 100% and take pride from their team i don't think parra's fans are as 'tough' as they use to be..
9. Manly supporters are, if you say otherwise ill knock your block off.
