So will we be starting the season early a week before the Magic Weekend? A farce if thats true. I know it's what they've done in the past but still think its a joke.....

Cant see it, expect us to have to catch up that fixture up at some point during the year.

Otherwise it messes up the whole Magic concept.

How can Stmerge Illawarra be one of the most famous clubs in RL??

You just witnessed their first ever premiership, a relatively new club with no real history to talk about

Be interesting to see the jersey's. I'd imagine you guy's will play in the hoop's. But the Dragon's away jersey will be the Steeler's one from next season

You need to check your history pal.

He speaks the truth
This is the VERY FIRST PREMIERSHIP for the joint venture,(which has no history)
The bulk of Dragons fans treat Illawarra's part in the merge with the same contempt that Manly treated the Bears in their merge.
The St George Dragons had success history,(ancient history)
The merged team does not.

For me.............I'd really like to see them play the WCC in the Red V,so Wigan gets a shot at destroying the Red V in both ESL & NRL

St George ceased to exist after 1998 when they merged with Illawarra.
Steve Menzies played for two club's not one.

That's the problem with merged club's

Many of the same fans are with them though, they still have a huge fan base.

We are at home
Sunday night.

Relax.

Once it's all sorted they'll announce it.
Simples.


I think I might just enjoy "my birthday do" it's very nice of them to put something on for me.
I might get a little drunk
