Roosters because corruption, Melbourne 2nd same reason.
They've taken a fair chunk of my life and left emotional scarring that will last forever.....
I don't hate any of the teams. I envy some of them for how good they are. I dislike watching some of them because of lack of an x factor player or they have a boring playing style. It's a bit like the Premier League football for me. I have players I like to see play and I like to watch teams playing skillful, attacking football. So, rather than who I hate, it's more who I like to watch.

I like Broncs and Titans for the same reasons, X factor and unpredictability. Quite like Tigers games to see how much they lose by, and the odd miracle win, they're just painful this year though.

It took me years to get over the 2002 GF loss, now I have a hatred for the Sharks since they started with peptides and were rewarded with a GF win. Gallen too didn’t help

I don't love to hate them I just hate them. Storm because of the wrestle, chicken wings, leg drops you name it usually the dirty shit starts with them. 2 premierships stripped because the cheated but likely they did more. Fuck them.

Rabbitohs for me, main one is they were absolutely shit on and off the field and rightly got kicked out of the comp.
Then all of a sudden they get let back in to one of the most congested areas for teams in Sydney- while we loose the only team representing the North of the city (no Manly you don’t count, you only care about a small pocket).
Their fans are the worst and don’t get me started on this ‘Pride of the league’ crap.
Melbourne probably second, they pretty much get a free ride and get away with murder yet their fans still think they’re hard done by and don’t see the favourable treatment they get. The way they carried on when they blatantly cheated was appalling and then sneakily hoping people forgot and still celebrating them as if they were legit. Latest one was the bullshit of refusing to share the ANZAC game, and the “how dare they not play along” attitude of us not rolling over to their annual free ride

Storm are my most hated team. For more than the Salary Cap cheating.
I can't support them for all the things they've introduced into the game but I do accept that looking at the rules and finding loopholes that will help the team play better/win more games is Craig Bellamy's/The Storm Coaching Staff's most important job (or is at least the 3rd most important job). They'd be stupid not to try things - run it up the flagpole and see who salutes, to put it another way.
It's the NRL's fault for saluting too often. Yes, I get the argument that the rugby union lawbook is very long, boring and big compared to rugby league's and we don't want to go that far, but some loopholes really should have been closed by the NRL rather than letting the Storm just tickle their tummy tell them "Who's a good boy!?" as they give our players get chicken winged/gangtackled/etc.
I almost would rather the Warriors not make the Finals than see the Storm win. Almost. Obviously I'd back the Storm if a Warriors finals berth was on the line, but it wouldn't sit well with me.
Never liked the Bulldogs, Sea Eagles but will back them if it suits.
Everybody else I have fan one-night stands with if they're playing well and it doesn't stuff the Warriors up.
I'd like to back the Tigers because I've always liked Benji Marshall but nope. Just too shit. Same - sort of - with the Rabbitohs and Eels.

Broncos and Bunnies.
They have the most insufferable New Zealand based fans by far. The way they look down on the club & fans in shit times & when things are good all of sudden we are their second team.
2024 most hated team - the Bulldogs - they have the most insufferable fans in general.
i have issues.

Easier to do a top 8, no particular order
Roosters – cheats
Storm – still being carried along by the refs after all these years
Sharks – cheats, feral fans
Broncos – who would root for the broncos if you weren’t born there, honestly.
Manly – they beat us too often
Rabbits – more so in the burgess years, they got storm level preferential treatment
Cowboys – just don’t like Todd
Bulldogs – delusional fans, Gus can’t lie straight in bed
Even Penrith aren’t TOO bad, Ivan factor, grow their own players, working class team, some favourable treatment from the refs but not horrendous, do there bit for competition parity by shedding players every year.
