- St George Illawarra Dragons make another jersey gaffe
- Footy club has a history of making similar mistakes
The Dragons have been blasted by fans for another jersey blunder after some eagle-eyed supporters spotted a spelling mistake on the milestone kit of NRLW debutant Indie Bostock.
St George Illawarra overcame Canberra at GIO Stadium on Saturday, winning 36-14, but one shocking mistake struck a nerve with their fans.
Last year, the club copped it for an embarrassing spelling error on Jack Bird’s milestone Red V kit, and this time it was Indie Bostock’s turn.
The club spelled Saturday as ‘Staurday’ on the 18-year-old debutant’s jersey.
Dragons supporters haven’t had a lot to cheer about this year – and the latest howler seems to have made things worse.
‘I think that sums up our club perfectly,’ posted one fan.

Bostock (pictured holding the ball while celebrating) had an excellent match, scoring an 80-metre try after just three minutes
‘I think the spell checker might be dyslexic,’ another wrote.
‘Do the Dragons get their jersey print from TEMU? Embarrassing!’ posted a third.
Despite the jersey Howler, Bostock took just three minutes to score a runaway 80-metre try for the Dragons after being called up into the centres from the extended bench.
The star of the NSW U19s State of Origin win last month, and the sister of Dolphins winger Jack, added a second by supporting Berry down the right after the break.
That put the visitors up 18-4 but the Raiders’ revival came through tries to Bartlett and Sophie Holyman.
St George Illawarra responded with another three tries – Berry, halfback and captain Raecene McGregor, and winger Margot Vella.
The Dragons only won two of nine games last year but rookie coach Nathan Cross seems to have them on course for a few more in 2025.
