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 //www.dragons.com.au/shop/index.asp //dragons.leagueunlimited.com/ //www.showroom.com.au/dragons/drag ... 1intro.htm:34439.jpg

Three weeks after my contact I'm still waiting for a response from a "5 working days" answer so I've bothered them again with this..

[iI contacted you with a complaint regarding me signing up to yourselves with the promise of 2/3 australian rugby league matches per week (advertised by yourselves) to have had one match per week since i joined. YOUR AUTOMATED EMAIL SAID I WOULD GET A RESPONSE WITHIN 5 DAYS "THREE WEEKS LATER I'VE HEARD NOTHING" This is shoddy at best. I am contacting OFFCOM to see what they think. My next contact with you is cancellation.[/i

I've just had my automated response that says we will contact you within 5 working days... icon_rolleyes.gif

Friday games back from May 29th it seems.

Must be waiting for the football to finish although I still don't get why they don't show the Friday games now - because they are showing bugger all else.

i rang up to cancel last night, told em i was unhappy about the reduction on nrl, girl explained very nicely its due to contractual gubbins and various tv companies bidding/fighting for the rights to show(tried not to snort down the phone) gave me some BS about the magners league, politely declined any interest in that and then she offered me 3 months at half price, at which point i can ring and cancel if things aren't back to normal.

Granted, its not the best offer ever but i watch the UFC on occasion and although i was serious about cancelling, i was in two minds as its the lesnar v mir fight in july, but i couldn't justify full whack between now and then.

I can watch that then bin it.


Though the impression she gave me over the nrl games really didn't sound positive at all, there was no "it's changing back, i promise you" attempt at lying to me.

The top and bottom of it is that setanta have paid out that much money on Premier league/Fa Cup/ England matches that it is simply running out of cash.
It is refusing to honour its £125 million pound 4 year SPL deal unless they renegotiate.
This is putting a squeeze on NRL,BUNDESLIGA etc

Now that's funny.

I always thought that people paid over the odds for moronball and there's far too much moronball on the box.

As much as it it infringing on the "Greatest Game" and in the short term maybe a loss for our great game in terms of coverage, the TV people may realise ( Doubtful I know) that they are paying well over the odds for a pup and that there are better dogs in the pack.

Ah well that's business.

Sorry but that sounds like setanta propoganda to me.

£125 million contract V probably less than 100k they pay for NRL secondary rights through fox?!?!

The point i cant understand with this scernario is that they get up to three games anyway....the argument that they are having problems with premiership and SPL rights should surely mean MORE NRL and more Bundesleiga etc. as these are the cheaper contracts so therefore they can fill more airtime with these if they are struggling with other rights.

In terms of entertainment value v cost of the contract, to a general sporting consumer, the NRL contract is far more efficient than any of the other rights. Therefore i cant understand why contractual problems elseweher would lead to a reduction in NRL?!?! surely this coverage would be increased to reduce dead airtime.

Seems silly business to me. Every RL fan would rather pay full whack setanta fees and get the 3 nrl games per week promised rather than get 1 for half price. So rather than reduce their revenue streams further when they are having funding problems, why dont they just show the NRL that they have paid the rights for anyway?! Its not like theres any additional broadcast costs as well. they're just taking a direct feed from fox etc?

Smacks of lunacy and/or a load of old bull excrement if you ask me!!

Sad but true. There are some cracking games this week in the NRL (Knights v Broncos, Dragons v Warriors, Bulldogs v Tigers) What are Setanta showing? Sharks v Roosters. icon_rolleyes.gif
