The St George DRLFC has been a part of the rugby league premiership for 100 seasons, beginning on St George’s Day, April 23, 1921, and continuing as St George Illawarra from 1999 to the present day. In that time, the club has built a unique and continuous history — highlighted by its 11 straight premierships from 1956 to 1966 that has made the iconic white-with-a-Red V jumper one of the most recognisable and treasured insignia in Australian sport.

In came Johnny Riley and Johnny Raper and then later Reg Gasnier makes his First Grade debut. A remarkable football team that went through the 1959 season unbeaten. Four in a row as St George are now a dominant force in rugby league and looking to eclipse the Rabbitohs record of five consecutive premierships.
Disappointingly, there is no known vision of this Grand Final.
Tim Gilbert chats with sport historian, author and Dragons tragic Geoff Armstrong about the rise of the Dragons and what Rugby League was like as the Red V started a unique chapter in sporting history.
