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.
