winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

cliffy & the beaver.

but you do remember 97 GF?

at least in 1996 you won the thing and in 1995 you shouldve won it.

that 1995 team had i think the best defence in the history of our game.

cliffy was a fantastic player, shame i didnt appreciate him at the time because back then i hated you guys

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

FIOS

Leeds have scored four tries against Manly which Melbourne could not do in last year's NRL grand final. Melbourne could not score one.

Leeds lost their star scrum half, the attacking genius Robert Burrow, in the first half of tonight's game. Melbourne did not suffer that setback in last years NRL GF. However Melbourne lost their star hooker Cameron Smith before the NRL GF. Smith is a star international and Australian captain who was instrumental in the Melbourne attack.

I think that Leeds would have a good chance against Melbourne. So, depending on their performance on the day, either Leeds are second or third best club in the world.


Maybe TEAM but not CLUB.

Wigan and Brisbane are the greatest clubs.

Stop kidding yourself mate,Leeds have a better team than the pies. They also have better crowds than the pies if the first two games are anything to go by. The attendences are below :

Wigan Warriors Vs Wakefield Wildcats : 14,377
Wigan Warriors Vs Castleford Tigers : 12,079

Whereas.....

Leeds Rhinos Vs Celtic Crusaders : 14,827

Leeds Rhinos Vs Wakefield Wildcats : 15,643

So looking at that they also have better fans if the opening two weeks are anything to go by.

Now i'm no Rhinos lover but i'd like to know how the once "Greatest club in the world" are a better club NOW than the Rhinos, not before i'm talking about NOW.

Think Wigan fans need to start waking up and smell the coffee tbh :lol:
