I was just wondering if anyone thinks the club will celebrate 100 years in 2021 next year or choose not to because of the joint venture? Any ideas on what they could possibly do?

I'm glad St George is still it's own entity, and is a joint venture not a 'merge' like Wests Tigers.

And going by the 2015 (50 years) '65 heritage jersey, and 2016 '11 straight' heritage jersey, expect something.

Actually, WT are a joint venture, not a merger.

With WIN Corp’s involvement and the Steelers having no input on the club’s day-to-day modus operandi, I’m unsure whether SGI can still be described in the same manner. A transparent answer for this has yet to be delivered.

News this morning about a big development at KJO by NSW Government.

I hope they consider incorporating some additional parking options.

Fitting for our 100th season but will be able to use it?

We’re tipped to get the wooden spoon next year...imagine getting the spoon on your 100 year anniversary. If there’s any team that can pull that off it’s these dumbshits...f**k me!

Monday 8 November 1920: A public meeting to discuss the introduction of St George into the first grade competition was arranged. An advertisement on October 30 in The St George Call read as follows:
"A public meeting will be held in the Kogarah School of Arts on Monday, November 8 at 8pm to form a grade club for the district of St George, to take part in the 1921 competition of the NSWRL. All players and supporters are cordially invited to attend. J. McGraw, Convener."

Thus laid the foundation of the St George District RLFC and all the history that was to follow.

On that great day they never could have imagined that in the not too distant future they would have won 11 in a row.

We had a pretty good start in the early years, a mixed first decade but we came close to winning a few premierships. We should have won a couple but the competition rules of the day kept changing, and Saints were unlucky to be on the wrong end of that each time.

If I was a time traveller, 1941 would have been a great day to be at the SCG. Our first premiership. That, and I would have loved to have been at Earl Park in 1928, just to witness the riot.

and Hurstville oval , where the referee fled for his life,
cause some angry fans from dodgy calls. had tomahawks
and earl park arncliffe, you wouldn't even think there was a park there now, its all high rise concrete units
Hurtsville oval, is still there, mostly cricket oval now, all original, nothing has changed. played a few games there in the juniors
