Club history

In the wake of the Super League war of 1995 and 1996, and the resulting split competition of 1997, the St. George Dragons and the Illawarra Steelers found themselves struggling financially, so with the NRL's intention to rationalise the competition from 20 teams down to 14 teams and with substantial financial incentives and a relaxing of salary cap requirements for joint ventures, the Dragons and the Steelers ensured their survival by forming the League's first joint venture on September 23, 1998. The Super League war was a battle for the control of broadcast rights for the sport of Rugby League. ... The Saint George Dragons was a team in the National Rugby League competition in Australia. ... The Illawarra Steelers were a top-level rugby league team based in the town of Wollongong in New South Wales, Australia. ...

Joint ventures being a new concept in Australian rugby league, the public watched closely in anticipation of success or failure. No-one was certain how the top players sourced from the joint venture's two feeder clubs would perform when they ran out onto the field. They were unsuccessful in their first outing, losing to the Parramatta Eels 20-10, but by the 4th round they had started to form some cohesion and would go on to achieve a top 8 position on the competition ladder by the end of the regular season. The Parramatta Eels is an Australian professional rugby league football club based in the Sydney suburb of Parramatta. ...

In the semi-finals the Dragons won against the Melbourne Storm at Olympic Park, before returning to Sydney to dispose of the Roosters and Cronulla to reach the Grand Final.

The Sydney Roosters is a professional rugby league club based in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. ...

In the Grand Final the Dragons were leading by 14-0 at the break. A fairytale of a maiden title in their first year seemed destined to come true; something of an advertisement to any other clubs considering the option of a joint venture, but the Storm recovered from their poor start and went into the final minutes of the game with the Dragons leading by 18-14. The Dragons were forced to perform a drop kick from their own goal line, and on the fifth tackle Brett Kimmorley kicked high towards the Dragon's corner of the field. As the Storm's winger Craig Smith caught the ball over the try-line he was knocked unconscious in a tackle by Jamie Ainscough and lost the ball. Referee Bill Harrigan deferred to the video referee who ruled a penalty try on the grounds that contact had been made with the head, giving Melbourne a 20-18 lead and the premiership title. Brett Noddy Kimmorley (born September 15, 1976 in Belmont, NSW) is an Australian rugby league player. ... Jamie Ainscough (born in 1972 Sydney, Australia) was a rugby league player for the Western Suburbs Magpies, Newcastle Knights, St George Illawarra Dragons, New South Wales and for the Australian national rugby league team. ...

2005 season

After their worst start to a season yet (losing 5 of their first 6 games) the St. George Illawarra side finished second in a close season on the ladder at completion of the 2005 season, just behind minor premiers the Parramatta Eels on points difference. After progressing to the finals they defeated local rivals the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks 28-22 in the quarter final of the finals series though the Dragons eventually fell 12-20 to eventual champions the Wests Tigers in the Preliminary Final.

2007 season

A major injury to star player Mark Gasnier in the Charity Shield match against South Sydney Rabbitohs provided a poor start to the 2007 season. Combined with the loss of key players such as Luke Bailey, Trent Barrett and Shaun Timmins in the off-season, the Dragons faced NRL newcomers, the Gold Coast Titans, in Round 1. The Dragons won the historic match 20-18, however lost 6 more matches after that leaving the Dragons sitting in 15^th place on the NRL Ladder. In Round 8, the Dragons pulled of an impressive victory against the Penrith Panthers with a score of 28-16. The Dragons also pulled off a great win at Oki Jubilee Stadium against the Brisbane Broncos 11-4. This team was the most inexperienced that the Dragons have ever sent out onto a field. By round 15, however, the Dragons had lost 3 games in a row, anchoring them to the bottom of the ladder, and making them firm favourites to take out the wooden spoon for the first time in the club's history.

In Round 17, (St. George Illawarra vs. Canberra Raiders at WIN Stadium), the Dragons scored four times more points than their previous game average, leading 22-10 at halftime before Josh Morris’ 80-metre breakaway try in the 49th minute put the issue beyond doubt. The Dragons equalled their highest ever score and it was their largest victory in three years. They also made a season-high 31 offloads. Canberra, who’d won the past six games between the sides, missed 65 tackles and didn’t have one player who made 100 metres in the game – a first this year. The Dragons climbed to 13^th on the NRL ladder, overtaking the 14^th-placed Raiders.
