the best ARL boss was ken arthurson. he had the vision to take the ARL into new zealand, queensland.
the worst would be neil whittacker. signed a pathetic 10 year TV deal with Channel 9 which was half what it was worth. |

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

| Quote: CumberlandsAshes "Not to mention the small fact that it has existed in the Southern States without any serious competition for over a century. It's the only game in town.
Unlike Rugby league which has had to deal with being one of four football codes in NSW and Qld for it's entire existence, Aussie Rules has had Vic, SA and WA all to itself since it invented the game.
As a spin-off, the media is very much more complimentary to the game than the media is to RL in Sydney or Brisbane.
While I agree that far-flung suburban ovals are an issue - it all comes down to a simple fact
lets see some proof re your media comments, i reckjon thats herasay, thats complete bull, you're just making that crap up!!!

its 2 in the morning, are you still doing the night time surfing mate?
looks like you enjoy having a bat, little surprise given the rubbish you post.
you might be happy playing at redfern oval but sydney council isnt.
you really need to keep up with the media in australia.
stop watching so much AFL, youll understand what im saying about RL eventually

are you thick??
Read back over the thread, i've said a million times i've never watched a full game of AFL!!!
Doesnt mean i'm going to put my head in the sand & come up with Rugby League being more popular & on a grander scale than AFL, i'd say most people would admit that we are behind them |

you say origin is boring and bag RL internationals but then talk up a dud game like collingwood vs essendon.
please champ, even the inbred victorians admit origin is special.
i can smell the BS from here.
and the real shame is you pretend to be a fan of such a famous RL club.
almost as bad as saying you werent going to be watching the RLWC games as you would be surfing instead. really funny as most of the games are at night
