Restarting their ambitions of a maiden Premiership, the Dragons began the 2010 season without dual international Wendell Sailor after the winger announced his retirement during the pre-season.

The St George Illawarra Dragons headed into the week one of the finals and had a great victory against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles winning 28 - 0.

After the week off the St George Illawarra Dragons faced the Wests Tigers in the preliminary final and won 13 - 12.

A major coup for the club was the re-signing of former captain and star centre Mark Gasnier following his stint in French rugby union.
