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
Bobbie Goulding, can you hear me? Your British lads (Barrett, Richards, Vaealiki, Leuluai etc etc etc) took one hell of a beating.

Promising from England, taking into account the scratch nature of the opposition.
A real willingness to run ball from deep when it was on (and sometimes when it wasn't) as evidenced by Cipriani's try and some real youth, pace and exuberance added to the side from the likes of Care and Armitage.
Good to see them finally embracing the Southern Hemisphere approach to the game, just hope they don't retreat back into their shell against stiffer opposition over the next three weeks.

Gasnier may play for France
MARK Gasnier's French rugby club coach Ewen McKenzie says Australia shouldn't take it for granted the former league star will want to return and play for the Wallabies.
McKenzie says Gasnier is enjoying life in Paris where he's adapting well in the switch from league to union with the Stade Francais club and it's "theoretically possible" he could even end up playing for France.
