I thought they were named the cutters to help attract fans from the emo community...

I wish my lawn was emo, then it would cut itself.

Very good!

Considered a double act with Muzby? :lol: :lol:

Just in regards to the Illawarra Cutters, why didn't they go with Steelers?

And where can you buy a Cutters jersey?

Seriously?!?

I've answered that like three times already.

You can't, you can only buy polo tops (from the Steelers Club lobby, when they actually have any in stock).

 

[Cumberland Throw]

So Illawarra Leagues Club is the local (Carlton League) head office... No team

Steelers Leagues Club was the home of the illawarra steelers, who no longer have a team

Illawarra Cutters have a team but no club,

Only in RL

Sorry mate. I thought I had asked but didn't look at my old posts.

I do apologise.

When the population of Wollongong hits 400,000 they should get their Steelers back as a stand alone team.

Interestingly enough, I got an email back from the club this morning::
-------------------

Yes, Cutters playing jumpers are available at the ground (limited sizes) and
definitely at reception in the Steelers Club (all sizes) - $95.00 each at
both venues.

Thanks for your enquiry, and GO THE CUTTERS.

-------------------


Have to drive down and pick one up methinks.

 

[Prometheus]

Well that's new.

I might go check them out at some point.

Maybe they got inundated with people asking for them?

Good move by the Cutters IMO.

[Hutty1986]

Sweet, about time they started selling them

 

[Prometheus]

Apparently they started selling them earlier this year, just after I went and asked if they sold them. They have five left and that is it for the season. Three XXLs, one XL and one M.

I remember in my first year of uni Steelers had a promotion on Wednesday nights for members where you could purchase five beers and a steak for 15 dollars, didnt that get a shitload of students signed up.

Started as the summer 6 pack n was extended to the steelers 6 pack.

The beer tickets were valid for a week so you could save em for the weekend. Good times!

I also think the Steelers Leagues club is a dud location for anything other than game day. Been around there on weeknights and its a ghost town, all the action is back towards the mall, the station etc.

As for the Cutters, its simple. The steelers could not afford a stand alone NSW Cup team. As I understand there has been a long standing uneasy relationship between the Illawarra Rugby League (that ran/runs the Carlton League and regional rep teams) and the Steelers. Different leagues clubs is only part of it. So as it required these two organisations to pool money, in addition to St George Illawarra throwing in money, it was decided that the team would just be called Illawarra, and that the nickname could be part of the negotiation with a sponsor.

If Illawarra Coal decide to pull their sponsorship, there is every possibility the nickname could change
