union is dieing out . beleive me
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.

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.

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.
