Illawarra Steelers
Australia
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2022
The Illawarra Steelers were the first expansion team in the NSWRL, which later became the ARL and NRL competitions. Illawarra had attempted to enter the "big time" in the 1950s and 1960s, but due to Country Rugby League constitution arrangements, were blocked. In 1980 an Illawarra committee made the case for the future of the game in the region to be safe it needed to field a team in the Sydney competition. On the 13th of December, 1980, the NSWRL admitted Illawarra as the 13th team for season 1982, with Canberra later admitted as team number 14.
The Steelers battled through the financial difficulties of the 1980s before becoming a credible force in the 1990s, finishing in the top half of the competition consistently and finishing 3rd in 1992. Sadly, 1995 saw the outbreak of the Super League war and the Steelers future existence, along with other loyal ARL clubs, was up in the air. In late 1998 the Illawarra Steelers and St George Dragons formed the first rugby league joint venture.

I dont think people remember or realise how talented, electric and exciting Jack Elsegood was in the early days. Sadly a few bad concussions really stifled his career, but during 93/94 he had blistering speed and ran hard at the line. 30 years on and still my fav Manly winger. Thanks for the memories legend. His long range try here still gives me goosebumps
Souths blew it that year. Best team all year.
Hancock and his atrocious defensive efforts!
👏👏👏North Sydney! 👏👏👏North Sydney!
I was at this game. Worst conversion in history.
There is no winger who comes close to him this day n age 2025 🫡👍
UP THE DOGS 💪
Legend with an upcoming legend 👍
As a Broncos supporter, I'm glad the Steelers didn't make the GF in 92'. What an awesome team they had that year, and a great coach. RIP Graham🏉
Tigers fan, but how good was that Steelers side and the Scarlet jerseys are absolute mint
Notice how no one ran in to attack Bob Lindner at 7:02? Respect for the Legend🏉🔥
Battle of the red & whites
If the refs missed 2 knock ons and a missed conversion in 2024 you’d get a solid week of coverage on NRL360
Wollongong Ocean line from Fatty Vautin 😅
How good ! But On A Side Night - Does Anyone Know Who is the Voiceover guy is?
Great match from McGregor. He was my favourite player back then.
Crazy to think that at this time Wollongong had not only a top-flight team in rugby league but also two different teams in the national soccer league for the 1990 season. Such a fall from grace, even though the region has grown hugely since then, hopefully we see more full-time football of all codes on the South Coast in future again.
He should have said "Breeze blowing in from the Wollongong Ocean"
Proud to be named after this fella
unfortunalty for the crushers in there last season as a club they got the wooden spoon
bring back the mighty Wollongong
Steelers had a good team back then.
I believe Illawarra should not have merged with anyone. They have a great stadium, huge fan base at Wollongong, and can always put good robust players on the paddock.
I was there that night, as a Steelers fan it was an awesome experience
You screw up, it happens. Even at work playing footy.
Bring back the Steelers
Both champion blokes
Nice how you've got mid 80s Steelers games all the way up to the final year in 1998
Where did you manage to get this footage from (as I don't recall this match being televised from memory)?
90s golden era of rugby league
What a game that was.
What a legend ✊️
Loved those afternoons in Wollongong 😢
Brett Rodwell without doubt one of the best back up men in the comp during his time. Very fit. He scored a lot of tries being the man on hand to receive the final pass.
Awesome dude. Nothing like a derby at Wollongong on a Sunday Arvo. Disappointing result, but exciting occasion still
Indeed. 1990 was a real step up. Performances, results and crowds improved dramatically. A bridging year, before finishing in the top half of the competition in the following four seasons before Super League hit.
@@tasteofsteel Speaking of which... Do you have the 1994 game when Steelers crushed Saints 24 nil at Wollongong? That was a beauty?
A future member of the Wishart clan plays first grade for Manly. Former Gerringong Lion and Steelers junior Reuben Garrick is engaged to Rod's daughter.
I watched this as a 9yr old in QLD but I always thought Brett Rodwell scored both tries an still do to this day
I was 9yrd old but I still to this day I always thought Brett Rodwell scored
Was waiting for this demolition to appear on this channel!!! I went to the Dragons v Dolphins game today at Kogarah Oval and there were quite a few people wearing the old school BHP Steel jerseys. Keeping the spirit alive
Do you have any other Knights games on vhs
Let’s see…
as a bulldogs fan i miss the steelers
Cheers mate 🙏
You must be unhappy John Simon played a leading hand defeating his former team??
You bet! Imagine Simon and Barrett in the halves!
@@tasteofsteel Hadn't thought of that, but yes... Imagine
Miraculous that in 1997 Parramatta won at Wollongong, then later in the year, Illawarra won at Parramatta Stadium with that insane match winning try by Trent Barrett. Crazy Results!!!
Strong win by Steelers at a tough venue. Very unique that all points were scored at 1 end of the field
His young fella is a fair player too
I remember seeing this game on TV as a kid but as an adult I forgot which teams were playing. I just always remembered a game where the opening score was 1-0 and I've been searching for it for years. Thanks for this haha
Yessssss!🤍❤️
all of them were right to be disallowed. stop throwing the ball forward lol
QLD fan here..underated quality winger he was.
