'This is fate for us': Talau reflects on breaking the drought to claim SG Ball glory
In a momentous victory that harks back to the glory days of Kogarah, the Dragons have finally reclaimed the SG Ball Cup after 32 long years.
Willie Talau's under-19s squad soared to a triumphant 40-18 win over the Bulldogs in a Grand Final match for the ages.
With the strength of champions and the nimbleness of true athletes, the Dragons dominated the middle of the field, leaving their opponents in awe as they surged forward with unstoppable force.
Their unwavering defense in the second half showcased the grit and determination that defines a true Rugby League champion.
After a dismal season last year, where victory seemed like a distant dream, the Dragons' squad had something to prove.
With just three wins and a string of missed opportunities, they were hungry for success.
However, it was the lessons learned from that challenging season that set the stage for this historical win.
Talau, in his reflections on the team's journey, recognized the pivotal role of last year's squad in shaping the team ethos and laying the foundation for their remarkable turnaround.
As the Dragons bask in the glory of their well-deserved victory, they stand as a testament to the power of perseverance and team spirit in the world of Rugby League.
This win was not just a triumph on the field but a statement of intent for the future of this storied club.
