cause its aussie :lol:






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

:lol: :lol:


Those figures include those who watched the two replays of the games, typically at 6pm and 10pm, hardly ground breaking figures no matter how you want to try and spin it.

UK RL fans are just not interested in a fake competition devised by the ARL to compete with the massive figures the AFL were getting.

Why would it attract people in the UK who aren't interested in RL?

Is it a real comp when you've got Kiwis and Islanders pretending to be from either state?

SoO was introduced to drag the crowds back and bulk up the TV deals that were on the decline, an idea you stole from AFL.
