    20 year anniversary for the joint venture

    My beef with Gasnier, then, now and always will be is not the fact that he left the club, but how he left the club. Twice. Sadly players leave all the time, he's a man with a job and players leave clubs. I have no beef with Bailey (as I said) or Sowie or even Barrett, but how Gasnier went...

    20 year anniversary for the joint venture

    I don't think anyone holds anything against Luke Bailey (or I certainly don't). The guy left the club yes but he a local junior and didn't leave disgraced or in a bad manner or drag it out or rubbish us as he left. It's a professional sport and sadly players will leave us, but unlike many others...

    I like the shoulder stripe. Nice little nod to their mintiest jersey

    20 year anniversary for the joint venture

    I always hold Mark Coyne in very high esteem for what he did in '99. Yes it was his last year and the back end of it he saw injured on the sidelines and will be remembered as a St.George legend as opposed to a St.George Illawarra legend but, he was our first captain as a JV club (which I...

    20 year anniversary for the joint venture

    To be fair, my team was mainly built on who I considered good club men, but you're absolutely right, J.Smith, Scott and C.Smith were all guns too! Maybe i'll include an extended bench :)

    The "MARK MY WORDS" thread 2019

    Widdop won't see out the season and will be in Super League by June.

    Is St George Illawarra Still A Joint Venture Club

    Not to add fuel to any fire here, but the St.George website store has some new pieces of merch that seem to have dropped a location

    2019 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

    The debate over the St.George alternate jersey has been done and done. Granted we've had some crap over the years (Wolverine springs to mind) and I personally wish we'd just have a reverse of our home strip, red jersey White V (charity shield 2011 style) but our current one in my honest opinion...

    2019 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

    From a designers point of view I don't mind the storms new logo, it's in essence just a modern take on their old one and they've ditched the yellow for silver. What my only concern is that off the pitch, no one at Melbourne ever seems to think long term in terms of branding. This logo is very...

    2018 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

    Sorry, think I didn't explain myself properly. I didn't mean like the roosters or Australia do it, I mean't that the reining premiers have a gold NRL logo on the front right breast of their jersey as opposed to the standard green and gold NRL logo. I just referenced the roos and roosters as I...

    2018 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

    I'd love to see the NRL take on Mal's Kangaroos initiative (and maybe roosters are doing it too I think) with gold, silver and bronze badges on players shoulders for number of games played. It'd be awesome for the premiers to wear a special gold NRL premiers badge, instead of the standard...

    2018 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

    Roosters wore their away jersey and won with it in 2002 against NZ but even then it looked wrong. I hope there's an exception to the rule where a classic heritage league jersey that a team identifies with (St.George, Easts, Souths) can get priority. I can only imagine the outrage if St.George...

    Is St George Illawarra Still A Joint Venture Club

    I'm with you on this one and oddly had this discussion with an older Gentlemen the other day. Growing up (80's and 90's) I always remember the team just being known as St.George and Saint for short. I remember in Super League era the Dragons started to make an appearance but still we were...

    Is St George Illawarra Still A Joint Venture Club

    I've personally always considered the JV as a continuation of the St.George history. I certainly didn't see it as two clubs dying in 1998 and a new one coming to life in 1999 with an irradiation of the history that came before it, but more so that from 1921 to 1998 they were St.George and in...

    Terrible news, Lance Thompson passes away overnight

    Yeh me too. He deserves so much more. I think that everyone who has ever sat on the hill feels like they've lost a mate today

    Dragons jersey without sleeve sponsors

    It won't happen due to internal politics. But I'd love us to wear that old 1950's era badge during the 2021 (our 100th) season. It'd be something special. Even for a one off game to celebrate 100 years of St.George.

    Terrible news, Lance Thompson passes away overnight

    No player has had, or will have, as much passion for the St.George jersey as Lance did. Others adopt it, he was born with it. Absolutely gutted by this news. RIP Lance. So glad I got to cheer you on. Thanks for the memories. I hope the club change our name to St.Lance for this weekend at...

    Corey Oates

    No thanks to Oates. Really can't stand him or this new breed of self entitled player. He'll just be another Dugan, an over paid prima donna. I'll pass.

    2018 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

    I've always wondered what effect playing in an 'away' or 'alternate' jersey does to the psyche of a player. Does it take away from the 'pride in the jersey' mentality and make them not feel as proud to pull on the jumper and play their hearts out as much as they would their classic club kit...
