Arthur William Yager

Arthur William Yager (20 August 1884 – 19 December 1967) was a state member of parliament in New South Wales and the first president of the St George Dragons football club.

Yager did not ultimately suffer damage to his career as many other Labor politicians and union leaders also disagreed with Jack Lang's Taxation Bill.

His rugby league administrative career began in 1908 as a foundation board member with the Newtown club, and during the 1910s, Arthur Yager was President of Western Suburbs RLFC.

Yager spent seventeen years as President of the St George Dragons, as well as juggling a business and a political career and was a highly regarded member of the local community.
