If you do however manage to find proof that there were "matters raised with the NRL" then I will accept that you were in some way telling the truth
I don't need your acceptance rambo. I'll be posting what I want, when I want just to show you again how little you know.
I note that it does seem to be upsetting you a lot. 2010 Premiers - your worst nightmare come true.

Of course you won't. That's because the penny has just dropped that I was setting you up and you're now bracing yourself for another let down.
That, and you haven't got the courage to admit that you're full of crap. It's obviously getting to you.

in all the times I've asked for evidence you've avoided the issue.
I have never once said that the NRL or any of their club websites officially recognise the 16 premierships.
I have my view and I know the club has contacted the NRL about this in the past. I also hold the view that the club should do more. Said this repeatedly. Why you think I'm saying something else is between you and the voices in your head.

Not a single comment from any St George official to state that the NRL should review it's decision to officially record the 2010 premiership as the StGI Dragon's maiden premiership.
Well that's not entirely true. The club chairman referred to the premiership as the first in 31 years - you quoted it yourself. You simply put a different spin on it and have been playing semantics ever since.
Plus there was a Football Club AGM in 2002 from which the club released the following (the extract below was taken from a release from the Club Journal in 2002, a posted as an article
here):
Dragons: "One history, 15 premierships"
[SIZE=-1]
Kogarah, 03 December 2002: It has been announced at the St George Football Club Annual General Meeting (AGM) that the history of the St George and Illawarra Dragons will be unified.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]
Leagues Club CEO, Peter Doust declared, "One history, 15 premierships" - bringing huge applause from the assembled members.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]
The revised history will acknowledge 82 years of history since St George joined the first grade in 1921 and Illawarra in 1982. Entitled, "1921-2002: Our Proud History" the Annual Report outlines the premierships in the following way:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]
First Grade: St George 15; Illawarra 0; St George Illawarra 0 - TOTAL: 15[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]
A '2003 premiership victory' will be represented thus:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]First Grade: St George 15; Illawarra 0; St George Illawarra 1 - TOTAL: 16[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]
The emphasis being on the TOTAL.[/SIZE]
I suspect you'll want this in triplicate too.

In fact apart from an opinion piece in a league's club magazine and other sentimental comments from a couple of league reporters there is nothing to show that there is a groundswell of support for recognising the 2010 premiership as the dragon's 16th.
Well you don't know everything rambo.
It's not like you did any indepth research on the question. The world doesn't begin and end with
google - sometimes we have to read reports, journals, emails and wait for it, we sometimes have to talk to people as well.
But if this thread is anything to go on, some posters are defintely afraid of any support for recognising the 2010 premiership as the 16th.

so no wallow, I don't want it in triplicate
lol. bullsh*t.
20knights10 said:
just a single piece of evidence will do. Even if you do manage to provide this i have nothing to appologise for regardless.
Which means you're right even when you're wrong. lol. You've just dropped to the same level as baroness.

Diddums.
Hypocrite.
20knights10 said:
you have every reason to treat this years as the 16th for the dragon...
Why thank you.
20knights10 said:
but it defies logic to record it that way officially... period...
Can I ask, are you stupid? Genuine question.
I mean, you've gone to all that trouble and blown a gasket along the way, only to half realised that I am the holder of an opinion.
But you still feel the need to demand proof of this, proof of that, and build a strawman argument of mammoth proportions. Don't get me wrong, if my viewpoint upsets the sore losers and trolls, then all the better. But one can only wonder why an opposing opinion is causing you so much angst.
Is it because I caught your dopey mate lying? And therefore you feel obliged to go on the front foot in defending its honour?
Or perhaps it was something I said? In which case you're just a sook.
Or is it (as I suspect) just a simple case of you hurting over the premiership result?
At the end of the day, if I disagree with the NRL's 'official' stance, I'll say it. And no amount of tantrum chucking from a petulant misfit is going to change that. Capiche?
