The Rumours Thread

[Draginzaaar]

The Dragons board need to come out and make the announcement that illawarra steelers no longer is part of the nrl.
Stop covering up and bringing out the away jersey just to keep the illawarra fans happy.
It's a fact look back to when the steelers and the club in illawarra loaned millions from St George Leagues . If it wasnt for wincorp buying out the debt from illawarra steeler we would now be St George Dragons and all our history back as 1 club . As it stands now we are 1 club it's not a merger no longer illawarra steelers are just a memory of the unsuccessful club it was .

Yeah whatever. Move on, it's been 25 years.

It is a very serious matter for those older fans who wanted Illawarra to be no more than a feeder club for St George. The result of a 'merger club' is the perfect situation for those for the NRL Clubs who are jealous of our record and who know that they could never win 11 grandfinals in a row to claim we have a record of only 1 GF.

The Dragons Board should have acted on this years ago.

They should have sorted this out before signing the agreement.

We will always be known as St George regardless of the merger no one remembers Illawarra lol

Except where the a majority of all our juniors come from. It is not forgotten

Juniors that rarely become above average first graders.

The Illawarra juniors are not exclusive to St George. The region has been a tremendous source for Rugby League in general and numerous clubs have benefitted from this. That has been the case since the 1920s and still continues to this day.

Not this old argument again?? FFS!
Get over it. Nothing's going to change, nor should it. We.are the St George Illawarra Dragons and have the opportunity to be a powerhouse club unrivalled in the league in terms of geography and fan base. Not all of us fans live in Kogarah or Wollongong. Give us a team to seriously challenge for the title and this question goes away. We'll be one under the mighty Red V.

9 weeks? 9 weeks???!!!!

The NRL always seems to find a way to bring itself into disrepute.

Incredible, breathtaking and imho disgusting.

I could have worn a year at a stretch, but not this.

It’s open slather now, all bets are off, players are officially running the asylum.

Is it OK to call us St George?

Not until this simmering issue of the stolen premierships is resolved.

St George can’t go into battle without them.

And if it can be achieved, I’m more than happy to see the resurrection of the Illawarra Steelers.

The league wants to expand but it’s never given proper weight to repairing the shattered dreams of many by honourable reinstatement.

A lot easier to grant the two sides of the joint vulture ( merger lol) their independence than start a team in PNG.

It’s a very convenient finding.

I think it does very little to deter the rogue players from ingesting illicit drugs and forcing their bad choices in an unsuspecting general public. Risking our safety and that of our kids.

It taints the game, it confirms the NRL is more interested in bears on barrels than anything else.

With Vegas and it’s madness, we’ve got a very backwards looking administration.

Mighf be time to end the monoply, set up a rival league instead of us having to wallow in this den of delinquency.

I’m pro-rights and all of that, but this is over the top.

But four weeks for a bite on the nose. Chuckle. We live in clown world. We may as well have teams sponsored by the Medellin and Sinaloa cartels.

Todd Carney had his CONTRACT TERMINATED and received A LIFE BAN FROM THE NRL bcs he pretended to drink his own urine.

There was an Indian PM in the 1980s, Morarji Desai, who, I hear, used to do that actually every morning for health reasons.

Don't get me started or should I say re-started on that incident. Four weeks suspension when the nose was forced into KF's mouth. It was like a rape. Then we have Mam who is part of the "protected" players and clubs. Mam in my opinion was more criminal than a lot of other road incidents - drugs, unlicensed, dangerous driving causing injury and suffering and damages.

Mam should have been suspended for at least half of the season and the judge's decision was way low. "You naughty, naughty boy. Don't ever do that again, do you hear me boy?"

9 weeks is a joke but whats the bet behind the scenes they played the " his heads not in a good space because of the incident in vegas " didnt spencer cop 8 weeks for that comment ?
9 weeks driving without a licence ( therefore uninsured) driving with illicit drugs in system crossing into wrong lane totally 2 cars injuring 3 people ... BUT I got thrown into rehab to make it look good Im working on a building site for free BUT bronx are still paying me .... Yep old santy has looked after ezra I wonder what huge penalty broncos will give him ??

 

[Kolum Kid]

What a joke. The mental giant from the NRL that agreed to this penalty should run for politics because they clearly have no f*****g idea about life in the real world.
