Says what we all think (and have known for years). The incompetence and stupidity of the St George Illawarra board is breathtaking beyond belief. 7 years of unforgivable waste since Bennett left and no end in sight. Appalling.

Management of SGI know what they are doing. They are acting on their priorities and priority one is related to self interest. Mary, Millward, Craig Young, Bob Millward, Brian Johnston and Peter Doust are all in it for themselves and not the best interest of SGI. They all should be ashamed of themselves and their behaviour but are not concerned at all.

It's a mess and we need a cleanout to rectify matters.

Like all of us here, Gareth, who value your contribution, I would like to add my condolences. I guess your news makes us all realise that as fanatical as we are there are more important things in life than footy.

But support of a club often runs in a family. My Dad played rugby with St. George and lived to get out to the SCG during the Dragons' glory days while I played cricket with them. My Mum lived about 70 of her 90 years in the St. George district. While she didn't attend games she used to watch the Dragons on TV with me. She used to celebrate victories with me and would do her best to console me after losses.

She died early on a Sunday morning, July 2006. I had already bought tickets for my family for a game vs Souths at Jubilee. We decided Mum would have wanted us to go and thankfully the Dragons turned it on that day!

There are certainly some close bonds in your family Dragonsteve 2 knitted by the St.George club in one sport or another .

My mum would call St.George “ the George’s “ the old chook could not quite grasp the significance of the word Saint before George , however ever so similar to your own mum she would attempt to lighten the loss by saying
“ well there’s not much you can do about the result now , so you may as well go outside and mow the yard “ a kind but also a practical woman .
