It’s not every day or even every year that you get to photograph a grand final. Especially one as big as when the Dragons finally broke the drought in 2010 against the Sydney Roosters.
I’ve been fortunate to shoot a fair few NRL grand finals now, but to be there when the master coach Wayne Bennett led the Dragons to victory was a special day for many but none more so then the Red V Army. My main memories of shooting the game were of the second half when the skies turned dark and the heavy rain set in.
A fitting way for the Dragons to win. Dark, wet and defending their way to victory. A great day for pictures and a great day for Dragons fans. Here are my favourites from the day.
The only thing better then shooting a NRL Grand Final is being back at the club after the game. So for part 2 of the Dragons victory I’ll post those pictures of back in Kogarah next.
If you have any memories of that fateful day, I’d like to hear about them below too.
Til next time!
