According to my UBD there is no such place as St George.I'm pretty sure Kogarah and surrounding suburbs are in the St George district.

They are probably the most well supported club in Sydney, if not the whole league. They are certainly the most well known.
Does anybody remember 2009-2012? Dragons supporters were everywhere, they filled stadiums no matter where they played.
Yes they are a complete basketcase right now but when they sort their shit out the crowds will be back. Every club goes through it.
Moving them would be complete madness, the same goes for any club.
Yeah, this seems the most obvious solution. The Illawarra is a growth region and strategically it makes sense for them to be based out of there full time.I woudnt relocate the Dragons anywhere. However I would move there base of operations to Wollongong and play the majority of there games there. 2 in Kograh and maybe 1 or 2 may sound harsh but Wollongong is a huge growth area and presents a point of difference from the other Sydney clubs. They can still wear the red V and have St George In the name but they should really aim to become Wollongong team.
I see something very similar with the Wests Tigers who should move to Campbeltown/Liverpool full time and play a couple of games at Leichhardt with the majority at Campbeltown for the same reasons
It doesn't help the image of the sport where stadium grounds get upgraded but then end up having less games as the team moves around venues ?
Dragons should have one ground and that should be Wollongong...same as West Tigers.
No I meant West Tigers stay in either Campbelltown or Leichhardt.Why would tigers play in Wollongong?

Ahh right ...on a sort of different note you see the WSW Soccer try hard's saying 60000 for a proper Football derby yet if Sydney had 4 NRL teams expect the same crowds at ANZ and sell out out's at the SFS.I was joking and it should be Campbelltown. That area has so much growth the NRL should be doing everything it can to make sure RL has a huge foothold. Much of the population isn't typical Anglo Australians and the NRL shouldn't just assume because it's Sydney they will be top dog.
They may well be top dog but they need to ensure that they are.
You can't knock WSW and SFC for what they have done. They've carved out a place in this cities sporting landscape for themselves with what is a very poor standard of football. It will be interesting to see which way the crowds head when the third Sydney side is founded. They need to go to 12 sides soon and a side in cronolla is looking very likely.
Third Sydney A League team = Liverpool Macarthur
I can't see it some how. Where would they play? This is WSW turf around here.
Campbelltown Stadium, unless a Liverpool Stadium is built.
