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

I'd prefer the teams to be : IMPORTS: 1. Brent Webb 2. Henry Fa'afili 3. Jamie Lyon 4. Shontayne Hape 5. Lesley Vainikolo 6. Trent Barrett 7. Stacey Jones 8. Joe Vagana 9. Richard Swain 10. David Fairleigh 11. David Furner 12. Glenn Morrison 13. Jason Smith
14. Robbie Paul 15. Ali Lauititi 16. Jason Ryles 17. Tony Puletua

ENGLISH: 1. Kris Radlinski 2. Jason Robinson 3. Keith Senior 4. Paul Newlove 5. Tony Sullivan 6. Danny McGuire 7. Sean Long 8. Stuart Fielden 9. Keiron Cunningham 10. James Graham 11. Jamie Peacock 12. Paul Sculthorpe 13. Andy Farrell
14. James Roby 15. Barrie McDermott 16. Terry O'Connor 17. Leon Pryce
Was Jason Smith ever really that good ? Seemed to spend a lot of time on the sidelines from what i remember - And was good but not the top player when on the field
Biased view would be Adrian Vowles at 13, Former man of steel after all
In the light of the criticisms I have received on this thread, I have made some modifications to my selections, notably inserting Richard Swain and Darren Albert in place of Daniel Buderus and Scott Donald, and noting the correct club affiliations of David Fairleigh and Terence O'Connor.
Because Henry Paul was at his career peak in Super League, and Stacey Jones wasn't, I regard the performances of Henry Paul in Super League as superior to those of Stacey Jones. Overall in an evaluation of each person's life career, Stacey may well come in ahead of Henry.
Steve Renouf was not at his career peak in Super League, but still was better than his main rival for the position, Matt Gidley, in my opinion.
Now here is the revised teams:
IMPORTS:
Brent Webb (Leeds)
Leslie Vainikolo (Bradford) Jamie Lyon (St Helens) Steve Renouf (Wigan) Darren Albert (St Helens)
Trent Barrett (Wigan) Henry Paul (Wigan)
Jason Cayless (St Helens) Richard Swain (Hull) David Fairleigh (St Helens) Jim Dymock (London) David Furner (Wigan) Jason Smith (Hull)
Bench:
Joe Vagana (Bradford) Shaun Berrigan (Hull) Ali Lauititi (Leeds) Stacey Jones (Catalans)

BRITISH:
Kris Radlinski (Wigan)
Jason Robinson (Wigan) Paul Newlove (St Helens) Gary Connolly (Wigan) Martin Offiah (London)
Danny McGuire (Leeds) Sean Long (St Helens)
Stuart Fielden (Bradford) Keiron Cunningham (St Helens) James Graham (St Helens) Andrew Farrell (Wigan) Jamie Peacock (Bradford) Paul Sculthorpe (St Helens)
Bench:
Barrie McDermott (Leeds) Terry O'Connor (Wigan) Adrian Morley (Leeds) James Roby (St Helens)
Didn't Langer play SOO while still at Warrington? Should be ahead of Henry paul imo.
Imports by a lot in answer to the original question.
