Mergers and Premiership Tallies

And the first time a team representing the Illawarra has won a premiership. As it happens, the team which currently represents both the St. George and Illawarra districts is joint venture between the two teams which previously represented those two districts.

The really amusing thing is that no-one appears to have a problem with the pretense that the New Zealand Warriors were established in 1995. They weren't. They were established in 2000, after the previous entity that represented the region, the Auckland Warriors, folded. The fact the new team borrowed the name and logo of the former team does not make the two teams one and the same. Likewise with the Gold Coast Titans, who claim the history of the 3 former teams which represented the Gold Coast from 1988-1998 (the Giants/Seagulls, Gladiators, and Chargers were in fact three separate teams, and the Titans are a fourth). I'm guessing the fact neither the Warriors or the Titans (nor any of their predecessors) have as of yet won a premiership explains why no-one gives a sh*t about either team claiming the history of the teams which preced them in their respective regions.

Yet when the St. George-Illawarra Dragons try to claim the history of the St. George Dragons and the Illawarra Steelers (which they have every right to claim, being a joint venture between the two), everyone reacts as if Jamie Soward has just shagged their sister and their mother at the same time.

Whilst the team does represent a district the GF is awarded to a team, now what you need to do is find out what a joint venture is to understand why the tally is 1 and not 16.

As for the warrirors they can claim stats back to 1995 because the club as an asset was purchased by Eric Watson and rebranded. Legally the same company but new owner hence same team.

As for the Titans they are a new club no links to others because it was a new consortium.

Yes they formed a new team, with a new history and records.

St George and Illawarra kicked the bucket that day.

12 years ago, which is when the history of this team started, but keep on clinging to that NRL marketing slogo that they used to sell T-shirts u gimp.

Once again I offer my congratulations on your maiden premiership.

 

[Willow]

I aint going out for drinks with any of you gimps.........

Awww... Waiders will be so disappointed.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Happy to catch up with you if you want Willow.

 

[Willow]

Hang on, didn't you say you were going on hiatus?

Maybe its time for Baron to take a hiatus!

It was around the time you said you wouldn't have a drink with of us here.

What changed your mind?

This is the same type of fib you told earlier. You know, the one where you claimed to congratulating the Dragons but then insisted that we are not worthy premiers. You basically said none of the teams in the competition other than the Storm were worthy this year.

ie you walked into self ownership.

You must have thought about it after that. How did that work out?

 

[Willow]

I refuse to vote as st merge are yet to win a premiership with all the best players and team involved.

That's because you spelled it wrong. It's "St Merg".

 

[juanfarkall]

A marketing gimmick to sell $19.95 premiership shirts shouldnt be taken as fact.

It has been a long time since I have seen any NRL sanctioned T-shirt for $19.95, let alone a Premiership one.

Try again Exhibit B.

 

[Willow]

If Raiders_Premiers and a few others put as much effort into supporting their team and the league as they do into hating St. George Illawarra Dragons, the comp would be thriving.

Premierships are about the fans, not the records ffs. Dragons fans, you've celebrated 16 premierships. Who cares whether it says 15, 1, or 15+1 in the history books.

Well said.

16 years. 3 Finals Series. 3 Wooden Spoons. Town full of massive bogans.

Fail

Which rugby league club are you getting stuck into now Waiders?

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

The Cowboys you whinger

Is your reading and comprehension honestly that bad?

 

[Bucket]
