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

the AFL needs to concentrate on shoring up its international game if it is going to compete as a major sport
surely they could have a world cup, there must be enough Aussies with foreign grandparets to make an Ireland, Scotland team etc....if they had a World Cup this could get interest in AFL and maybe start the code taking off in these countries

| Quote: JB Down Under "After 100 years you would think we would have our only two cities secure by now!'" The NRL covers far more cities than the AFL.
NRL: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Canberra, Wollongong, Townsville, Auckland
AFL: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. |

Even if you add Geelong the fact remains that the NRL covers far more cities than the AFL does.
BTW Geelong is 74km from Melbourne, in comparison Penrith and Campbelltown are both 60km from Sydney. Should they be counted as separate cities too?

the AFL do actually have a world cup.
except australia arent allowed to play as they are too strong.
so get this its an A(ustralian) FL WC without australia.
check out leagueunlimited, thefightclub, theres a really funny thread on international aFL. |

please mate, i hardly classify melbourne itself as a city its that far behind sydney.
newcastle, wollongong, gold coast, brisbane, melbourne, auckland.
penrith is practically a city on its own right.
RL areas in australia comprise 55% of the entire population.
throw in our exposure to NZ, and its NRL by a long way |

i think he was meaning places like st kilda or hawthorn were cities, which would be quite silly.
they are suburbs of melbourne, much as balmain, parramatta or kogarah are sydney suburbs |

anyway mate, rather than spending most of your time talking up AFL, why not try and get out to some NRL games, and actually watch more of the NRL yourself.

Maybe one day, when the NRL realises the N stands for National and not NSW!
Australia only has 10 or so major population centres, how hard is it to get a team in each of them?

the NRL is actually international.
AFLs idea of international is to get a bunch of irish lads and play a hybrid game that no one actually plays. |
