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

| I'm telling you. This year is different. Yes u r right about the NRL being overall better, no doubt but this year we've got the players. As long as they stay fit we'll beat the crap out of both the roos and kiwis. As for hooker just watch Newton and Roby, any aussie team would snap them up. Price at stand off, brilliant, burrows scrum half, forwards all top class, centres Gleeson/Yeaman/Senior. Full back Whelens, we will do the business.

A good tactic in the hot conditions I reckon.'"
Sinfield will have a spell at hooker.

If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...: |

With Wilkin on the bench that may well be so.
Speed of the ruck late in both halfs will be the killer either way though.

Not sure Diskins is International class tbh. I hope Hock does not throw some of his riduclous offloads in the wrong area of the pitch. Personally I would have started with Wilkin and used Hock off the bench.

I would have had JJB in for Hock and Hock on the bench for McGuire.

Based on the conversations earlier here about Burrow and Sinfield having spells at hooker are we not guilty of doing what has cost us in the past and taking the best players and shoe horning them all into one side? I remember when we had a team full of loose forwards so one played 9, one played 6 and one played centre. Doesnt mean it will work.
I dont rate Diskin that much but would rather we had hookers playing hooker.

| I wouldnt play Sinfield at hooker full stop but the subs bench indicates that he may well do that to accomodate Wilkin.
I also think that Burrows can be devastating from dummy half in an energy sapping game so like I say horses for courses. Would imagine Higham will play against the Oz and Kiwis though interchanging with Roby.

Never heard of him, is he related to Burrow from Leeds?
(The Burrows thing pi$$es me off, sorry!)

I dont think Diskin is outstanding, but his workrate alone would have seen him start if I picked the England team.
Newton would have been my first choice had he not been injured.
Like you I dont like playing people out of position.

The slight difference here is that Sinfield and Burrow do this for Leeds so its not entirely alien to them. Leeds only have Diskin (until Buderus comes in 09) so Sinfield and Burrow will easily be able to slot into a hooking role during the game.
Also look at Australia's side, Tate and Monaghan are not wingers but will still play very well in that position.

I'd prefer people like Alker for work rate than Diskin.

Thing is the Aussies can do it and get away with it. We generally cant imo.
And because Burrow and Sinfield have been forced to cover 9 for Leeds doesnt mean they should act as in that role for GB when there are other specialist hookers out there in the SL. Annoys me a little bit as im sure you gather!

Would you have had Higham on the bench in place of McGuire then Dave?
