Well this is going to rustle some jimmies.A mate of mine is a filmmaker and mad Steelers fan. He made this short doc and I thought you guys would like it:
I'm from the St.George side of the merge but always had a massive respect for the Illawarra. So many legends come from that region!
You're right, of course.I was only a youngin' when the JV occurred, but is there really still a rift between Steelers & St George?
We are one and the same now so makes no sense to have one nowadays.
Imagine though if Illawarra didn't have financial difficulties and were able to stand alone post 1999. The region is league mad, so many great players and sportsmen come from Wollongong/Illawarra and the Steelers were a competitive team in their last year, it was solely because of money was why they had to merge.[/QUOTE\]
FFS....it's a bloody joint venture, not a "merger".
Please understand that' there's a distinct difference between the two terms, and NOT about an 'us versus them' rift.
