The "Mounties" mentioned in the second verse are North Sydney. This nickname came about since they shared their colours (red and black) with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (i.e. the Mounties). Supporters Over its long history, the South Sydney club has attracted several high-profile fans, many of whom were involved in campaigning for their reinstatement in the NRL after their expulsion at the close of the Super League war. These include Andrew Denton, Ray Martin, Anthony Maroon, Don Lane and John Jarratt. References Rugby League Tables & Statistics The World of Rugby League.
