St. George Illawarra Dragons

The St. George Illawarra Dragons are one of the 16 teams that compete annually in the National Rugby League. In 1999, they were formed as a joint-venture team from the St. George Dragons and the Illawarra Cutters.

1999 was also the year the newly-formed Dragons reached their first Grand Final, losing to Melbourne Storm. Their next chance at the trophy was 2010, when they defeated the Sydney Roosters to claim their first Premiership.
