60 years for me

 

[Saint52]

63 yrs for me we used to listen to Tiger Black call the game i lived in the country.
I remember listening when Peter and Norm Provan played. Ken Kearneyand Poppa Clay was my dads favorites.

64 for me. It's part of my DNA.

dragons4me,
I think its in all our DNA .... dragons for life !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rod Coil]

Over 62 yrs for me-can still remember being with Dad behind the goal posts every match. 3 grades and run on the field at the end

The race for the corner post…..ah the memories

It seems so long ago, I can’t put a timeline on it!!

All I know is when my Dad took me to the SCG on a Saturday match of the day, I was hooked…..
To see Changa, Billy Smith, Barry Beath, John Wittenberg tear teams apart was addictive for a fan.

If i had to rate them on percentage chance of a great career I'd still put Sullivan first but certainly the other two will have more NRL experience by mid season to succeed. Good position to be in for the club and it may be the case of under coaching them and give them a lot of creative freedom. I get shivers down my spine thinking of what the last coach would have done to them !

I live in hope that by mid-season in 2022, Sullivan is selected at 7 and Hunt goes to 9. Just imagine a spine of :
1. Sloan
6. Amone
7. Sullivan
9. Hunt

And us St George supporters used to arrive at the SCG expecting it all to happen.

Another 10 years and we'll call you a local.

“my father was soccer mad…”
Johnny Warren and the St George Soccer team had a purple patch in the sixties as well if I recall. 5-6 premierships ? Maybe more.

Yes mate this is my hope. I really think Hunt’s days at halfback are close to done. He’d be a great 9.

Johnny Warren visited our local park in Green Valley in mid-late 60s. All the kids were talking about it. We were a backwater and no one gave a shit about us... and vice versa. As a 7-year-old, I didn't know who Johnny Warren was, but I later learned he was the best known soccer player in the country, and he played for St George.
The next week we all playing soccer in the streets, in addition to Rugby League and cricket.
Then we got funding for a community centre. It was a big deal at the time.
IMO, sports people reaching out actually does make a difference.

You have to wonder how Storm would fit him in their cap.

Dragons have already paid nearly half a years salary and they would pay him less anyway

and it happened

We will need Sims once he is fully fit. I do get a bit of a funny feeling about his omission but letting him go now will only be weakening our squad and prospects.

No way in hell does our coach release him, especially to Melbourne.

Yes, we cant do much with the max 400k that him leaving would give us but we certainly need his experience and the depth he will provide. Woods being out for 4 games & McGuire suspended shows we will need that through a long season. Also Gos showed us the drop in class & ability these second tier replacements like him, Hunt Alvaro etc won't cut it.
