1979 Premiers Present for Dragons
St George Heritage Match

The St.George Bank Dragons will be buoyed by the presence of their 1979 Premiership winning team for their final round game, the St George Heritage Match at Oki Jubilee Stadium this Sunday against Manly as they continue their push for a home semi-final.

It has been 25 years since St George won their 15th and latest Premiership and members of this great 1979 team such as Craig Young, Graeme Wynn, Rod Reddy, Steve Morris, Brian Johnson, Robert Stone and Steve Edge will form a guard of honour for the current first grade players as they run out onto the field in their special replica 1979 Premiership jerseys.

The fifth-placed Dragons have lost international representative Jason Ryles and flying winger Reece Simmonds for the clash due to injury but will welcome the return of John Carlaw and Nathan Blacklock to the side for their final round game of the season.

The Dragons will be looking to reverse the result from Round 9 at Brookvale Oval where they were defeated by Manly 21-10 and head into the semi-finals on a winning note.
