But for the past decade, the club hasn't had a Miller donning the green and gold jumper on a weekly basis - with Will Miller being the last in 2010.
That's all going to change this season, as George Miller has decided to return home and play for his junior club Shoals, after three seasons with Northern Suburbs in the Shute Shield.

"The whole experience with Norths was great," Miller said.
"The only real reason I stopped playing with them was because of the travel.
"Going up and back three times a week just got too much with work
"So at the end of last season, I made the call to come home.
"Unlike my dad [John Miller] and brother Will, I have never played grade at Shoals, so it's going to be special wearing the green and gold this year and following in their footsteps."
Miller, who spent four years at Scots College from 2009 to 2012, has already made an impact on Shoals, helping them win the Kiama Sevens Bowl title.
"Training with Shoals has been good so far, with plenty of numbers on the track," he said.
"We've had a couple of hit-outs, including the Kiama Sevens and a trial against UNSW - it's been good to get some minutes in the legs."
With numerous electric backs in their squad, including Brandon brothers Steven, Mark and Kieran, Miller hopes to lay a strong platform with the forwards.
"I hope to just fit in with the rest of the boys and do a role for the team," he said.

"Paul [Connor] is a great coach and I'm happy with just doing what I'm told."
Ahead of their Illawarra Rugby season kick-off on April 4, Miller and his Shoals will play one last trial match this Saturday at Rugby Park against Batemans Bay.
The fixture, to kick-off at 1.30pm, will also act as a bushfire relief fundraiser.
