Well unfortunately the Illawarra Cutters (who last year were renamed Illawarra RLFC) will next year play under the St George Illawarra Dragons name in the new revised NSW cup.

Correct. Steelers only remain at the Ball/Matts/Gale level.

Well not really. As usual, Illawarra can’t fund a team. They can’t afford 1st grade, can’t afford reserve grade. If St George are paying the bills, they’ll be called St George Illawarra!

Kogarah supplies the money - Illawarra and the South Coast supply the players.

Mostly correct. But you don’t have a team in the NRL/NSWRL just by supplying juniors. Otherwise the Roosters, Storm and Titans would be out, and Wagga, Bathurst and Dubbo would be in!

Solid!

Yes Kieran, you posted it a few days ago.

Oh I See, Sorry

On another note I’m still trying to figure out what the F a St George is... in my entire existence I’ve never met a person from St George

Im fairly sure it was a reference to the local church, wasnt it?

In the same way a lot of american colleges are old churches, the St George came from a similar institution. Same happened with the Brothers in Qld i believe.

Remove the religious stuff and a church (particularly one in the 1920s) isnt that different to a Leagues Club; community meeting place where locals go for a bit of entertainment. Its not surprising sports teams would come out of these institutions. Actually, if you cared enough to trace it back, id guess most Leagues clubs began as branches of local churches.

And i would assume most of the older football teams were referencing the Leagues Club that founded them. It was the LC that was names after the location, but obviously sometimes their name is a referenc to something else....

And you would assume wrong.

Leagues clubs were built for the main purpose to support the football club, with the secondary purpose to service the local community.

St George LC was founded in 1952 (current site 1963)
Tigers LC 1957
Wests LC Ashfield 1955
Canterbury LC 1957
Souths Juniors 1957
Norths LC 1955
Easts LC 1957
Parra LC 1956

What an odd post. I don’t think any of this is true!

St.George is a district in Sydney.
Historically it was the Hurstville, Kogarah and Rockdale council areas, although the first two recently merged to form Georges River Council. There was a proposal for all 3 to merge- they would have then called it St George Council.

There are many districts in Sydney (and Australia) with names that don’t exist as a suburb. Whilst the Sutherland Shire & Canterbury Bankstown districts can trace their names to suburbs, there is no place called St George, (or Illawarra for that matter), nor is there a suburb called Cumberland, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Inner West, Hunter, Central Coast etc.
The origin of how the district got its name I’m not sure, but all the local district sports teams are called St George, there is St George Hospital, St George Building Society (Bank) etc are in the district.

No place called Illawarra?

Did you actually read my post? Yes it is a region. But I can’t meet someone at Illawarra. I can meet you in the Illawarra, but I’d want to be abut more specific as to the place in the Illawarra (or StGeorge District).

There is also a wiki page for the St George region https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_George_(Sydney)
And the north shore https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Shore_(Sydney)
And I’m sure every region.

But there is no suburb called Illawarra, St George or North Shore. They are regions. Unlike Sutherland Shire, Macarthur Region, Parramatta District...where the region is named after a suburb, in these instances the region is not a suburb.

Anyway, we’re way off topic.
