Dragons 16 Premierships .

I like how Easts have won 11 and Sydney Roosters 4 but counted as 15 premierships under Sydney Roosters, Canterbury have 9 and Bulldogs 1 but counted as 10 under Canterbury Bulldogs BUT St George sits on 15 and St George Illawarra sit on 1, the NRL insists they stay separate. I will never understand the logic. If you go to the club you will see history of wins by the club. It just does not disappear. Saints have been treated like Newtown, University, Glebe and any other club that no longer is part of the NRL. There is no difference to them and St George according to the NRL records. They even celebrate Melbourne Storms cheating premierships more than Saints.

If you look at Wests Tigers I would also not have any issue if they combined Balmain 11 and Wests 4 , Wests Tigers 1 to show Wests Tigers as winning 16 premierships, because at the end of the day, their clubs will show history of winning those premierships.

So you’re happy to sell St George’s soul & regional history Illawarra just to remove the word “Illawarra” from the name?

That’s just odd, bro..

Rubbish.

Illawarra is what makes the Dragons strong.

1921-1981, Illawarra is part of the St George Dragons catchment.

15 premierships.

1982-1998, St George go it alone.

0 premierships.

1999, they reunite..

Bang*. Another premiership.

*okay, it took 11 years. But still. One more premiership vs when St George tried doing the whole solo thing..

Muzby illawarra steelers no longer part of the club .
What dont you understand the only rubbish is your comment on illawarra makes the Dragons strong .
If it wasnt for Dragons saving illawarra from being another norths Sydney bears years ago now Illawarra only made them selves go into debt and still to this day is they didnt pay back st george millions they borrowed and then was taken over by wincorp 50% .Illawarra the name on the St george logo will be removed in the next couple of years that is all that exists for illawarra for now.

Illawarra doesn’t equal Steelers.

It’s not a difficult concept to grasp.

The only time the Dragons have won a title is when the Illawarra region was considered part of the catchment.
