union is dieing out . beleive me :wink:






winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

id love to believe you and dally but im a sceptic when it comes to this.
union fans are funny folk and will sit on their backsides rather than go to a league game.
over here in europe is a class thing to a certain degree and when i was in australia it was a social and intelectual thing.

the favourite joke of my union loving workmate in sydney was:

what's the difference between a league player and a rugby player?
a degree.
:roll:

class is very relevant in australia too

RU comes from the private schools where league isnt played

look at the success of the nz warriors since they came into the nrl, and their impact on the Kiwi RL team (WC and tri nations winners)

there are loads of talented kiwi players now.

and remember RL wages are still fairly low compared to ru.

the next TV deal will sort that out

if you get a chance, watch some nrl to see what its like this year.

its been brilliant.

union is going to have a tough time competing with it

edit : some australian commentators think the warriors will win the NRL title.

can you imagine what that would do for RL in NZ?

the thing is that union will just change the rules and move even closer to league.
the union world cup in 2011 will again be boring but i guarentee it sells out. corporate tickets will take care of that :roll:
Yes they will they have no choice but too,there game is crap as we speak .There only way of survival is merging with the greatest game of all.

surely winning the world cup is as good as it gets!
if they can't capitalise on that for the next 4 years there's no hope

the club game means more

as an example, when the warriors made the semi finals in 2002, their TV games were getting as high ratings on TV as All blacks test.

when the warriors beat the storm in the semi final last year it made the front page of the NZ papers, whilst an All Blacks win got the back page

winning the NRL is a much higher achievement that the WC imo

well that's a sad state of affairs in my opinion.
league really has to push the international scene. not wanting to blow our own trumpet but there is an impressive international calender in 2009 in the northern hemisphere.
