Hmmmm, a record of 11 grand final wins in a row, compared to an Australian record for most years without winning anything.
That team died at the same time Illawarra died.

"In order for the merger or joint venture to proceed, it was necessary for both St George & Illawarra football clubs to enter into a written deed of agreement ( a contract). In the deed, the clubs agreed to form a new company called "St George- Illawarra". The deed included an agreement to create a board of directors, share resources, to provide capital, establish a CEO, employ staff, to allocate an initial budget subject to review and for both clubs to agree not to separately apply to, or actually ever again compete as themselves in the NRL. "
Dead and buried.
