    The Game 2020 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

    I understand that the game needs money to survive and so on, but I agree with you. For a 3 game series, sponsorship on jerseys should be outlawed. I love how clean and prestigious the Aussie jersey looks since Mal took over. I wish state of origin would take the same approach. Either that, or...

    Merchandising - old school?

    Sorry NRLMad, but I couldn't disagree with you more. I too am a 30+ year saints fan, so guessing give or take we're roughly the same age. I work in design and I don't refer to our badge as a 'logo', but rather as an emblem. A logo is what the NRL have, it's what Telstra have, it's what a lot of...

    Brian Johnston quits

    John Howard for CEO. Ran a country for 11 years, has a boyhood passion for St.George. Seems a good fit to me.

    Sign frizell now!!

    You should play at 100% because you're part of a team, it's your career and you're playing for St.George. If you need more incentive, man up. You're getting paid a small fortune to do it too. I said in a previous thread that St.George players of today have no idea about what they're playing for...

    Sign frizell now!!

    Sign him up yes, make him captain NO! We've had a recent history of throwing the captaincy at players who are half out the door (Gasnier, Creagh, Widdop) in order to keep them around and it always ends up bad. Tyson is one of the best there is, and although he wasn't alone, he played with zero...

    Why ignore our history?

    A question that came to my mind a lot while watching the 2019 Dragons run around was, why are we playing week after week with no heart? Do these players not know or realise what they are playing for and what jersey they are wearing? Judging from the ladder position and the boycott that almost...

    St.George Illawarra: 20 year documentary

    Absolutely! I remember pre-seaon 1996 and we had no players and no sponsor. Remember thinking that we were staring down the barrel of a long season, then as history saw, Super League lost it's appeal, we get our players back, Newman's get on board and we're grand final bound! Great season.

    St.George Illawarra: 20 year documentary

    David Waite was a great coach. Both 1996 and 1999 he took fractured clubs to the Grand Final. Should never have been sacked. Would love to hear all these stories from the people involved 20 years on.

    St.George Illawarra: 20 year documentary

    May have missed the point. I'm not suggesting a Doco of the whole 20 years, just a Doco of the joint ventures formation from the people and players involved at the time. At the time I'm sure they were all gagged to say the supportive words to the media, but 20 years on it'd be great to hear the...

    St.George Illawarra: 20 year documentary

    Was he not? I thought he enjoyed coaching the side that year. See, all the more reason for this Doco.

    St.George Illawarra: 20 year documentary

    I was chatting with a mate recently about the 1998/1999 NRL seasons. And about St.George in particular. Both of us were 15/16 at the time of the merger and were trying to remember the days and months leading into it and the year that followed and got onto the subject of now that 20 years had...

    2019 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

    Yeh, I know we did it in 2017 and we've done it on heritage jerseys in the past but the actual jersey had a much more shallow V than that mock up does. St.George bank came on as a majors sponsor in 2004, with 2004 being the exception, from 2005 onwards the St.George bank logo has been moved...

    2019 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

    I know it's probably sponsor position related and for a one off jersey St.George bank have lowered their position on the jersey, but I wish our regular jersey went to a full V like this one does.

    Round 2 vs Souths

    Yep, agreed. We'd be kidding ourselves if we think that didn't have an effect, but Jack was never our x-factor and lets not forget, he played last season mostly injured. For me this season has scars of 2008 when I remember a certain captain of ours then who's head had left the club before his...

    Round 2 vs Souths

    Facts are facts. Our Captain has screwed up our season by announcing his early departure in the off season and forcing us to buy a half we didn't want and reshuffle the backline to fit him in.

    Relocation of Sydney clubs

    I wouldn't panic about St.George at all. We paid our dues to the NRL 20 years ago, paved the way and on paper are the only successful merger club and I think in turn have bought our safety for years to come. Only scenario I can see (and it's very unlikely) is that we'd become a solely...

    Charity Shield 2019

    Not sure if it's been covered yet or not but I love how the NRL pick and choose what to celebrate and what to come down on. Sam Burgess smacks Pereira's head off, comes up swearing to the ref (an action his coach wasn't happy about) and all the while we have to listen to Mick Ennis carrying on...

    What are we???

    I feel the whole Dragons vs Saints thing has become a little generational and a result of the JV. St.George Illawarra really pushed the Dragons branding from '99 onwards as a unified banner for the new team and I reckon that anyone who was born 1995 onwards will know them as The Dragons and...
