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

A PNG and second New Zealand team should join the NRL to grow the game internationally but cant see it happening

A PNG team will never happen, not financially viable.

Yeah seen it before, the government pledged their support during the world cup, from memory. It'll never happen though.

Shame really, I'd love them to be in there, the most fanatical support in RL.

Is there also a chance of violence / crowd trouble like we have seen before in PNG.

Culture, not violence icon_smile.gif

Their life is heavilly invested in RL with their tribal villiages playing each other. When the roos turn up it's a sell out and people outside insist on still going in so they riot, there is a youtube video somewhere showing them rioting.

An NRL franchise would have security in place to combat this. if only money wasn't an issue, they'd make a great franchise.

Well im sure if they were given the chance of an NRL team they would stay sensible and not ruin their opportunty with stupid riots.

Suppose they'll be needing qutie a big shiny stadium to hold the amount of fans an NRL team would attract.

Immigration laws stopping PNG players icon_cry.gif AUSTRALIAN immigration laws are denying Papua New Guinea rugby league players their dream to play in the NRL while others turn to the UK as it's easier to gain entry.
A number of PNG's top players can not play in the NRL or run with feeder clubs because tough visa restrictions require large cash bonds to guarantee compliance with the law.

Kumuls centre Jesse Parker is the latest PNG player to claim visa restrictions are stopping him trialling at a NRL club, St George Illawarra.

PNG rugby league chairman Albert Veratau told AAP at least ten of the country's top players have been denied access to play in Australia due to visa restrictions.

icon_cry.gif One PNG rugby league official joked players could sign up to Australia's pilot Pacific seasonal workers scheme designed to assist the agriculture industry.

"Pick fruit in the week and play footy on weekend, perhaps, as a way around the problem," he said.

During Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's 2008 PNG trip he said one of the strongest links between the two countries was rugby league.

Rudd gave $260,000 to PNG rugby league for facilities and equipment like boots, jumpers and shorts.

PNG's business, sporting and political elite are also pushing for a PNG-based team entering the NRL by 2012.

Now that's different to an exclusive PNG team and has greater potential.

What is the potential for Darwin? Demographics, bums on seats, advertising etc.
