The early days


On Friday, 28 February 1908 the St George almost joined the New South Wales Rugby League after a meeting in Rockdale instigated by W.Munn and Joe McGraw. The meeting was attended by officials of the New South Wales Rugby Football League and players from the district.  A St George Rugby League club was formed at this meeting with a president and officials being elected, but the clubs application was declined due to insufficient numbers of players. The club wasn’t able to form a team until 1910 When a Third Grade team entered the competition. The newly made team won their first game against the Newton Thirds 36-0.
