Further to yesterday's report, it has been announced at the St George Football Club Annual General Meeting (AGM) tonight that the history of the St George and Illawarra Dragons will be unified.

Leagues Club CEO, Peter Doust declared, "One history, 15 premierships" - bringing huge applause from the assembled members.

The revised history will acknowledge 82 years of history since St George joined the first grade in 1921 and Illawarra in 1982.

Entitled, "1921-2002: Our Proud History" the Annual Report outlines the premierships in the following way:

First Grade: St George 15; Illawarra 0; St George Illawarra 0
TOTAL: 15

A '2003 premiership victory' will be represented thus:
First Grade: St George 15; Illawarra 0; St George Illawarra 1
TOTAL: 16

The emphasis being on the TOTAL.

The Dragons are now acknowledged as an united force which incorporates the history of both St George and Illawarra and continues forward as St George Illawarra.

It's understood that the record book revision was done in consultation with David Middleton who is the NRL's official historian.
