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
There are interesting comments in the column to the right too.
It states that other ex-colleagues of Ellis are keen to test themselves in the NRL.
Who do we think these others may be?
Ablett, Hall, Burgess?

I think Ellis will be a great success over there, IMO the way he plays is well suited to the game over there. Personaly I'd like to see a few other english guys go over there, I think from our current team, McGuire would benefit a lot from a spell in Aus as would Lee Smith, and possibly Burrow.
