Stick a fork in 2020, it's done.

On Friday, Cronulla were gloating about the comforts of being in the Dragons dressing room in Saturday's game, which looms as a make-or-break result for St George Illawarra.

And to be fair, Wollongong Dragons fans aren't always taken by travelling up the freeway either, but at least they would stand by their Kogarah brethren to cheer the same team.

Instead, Sharks coach John Morris was quick to declare they would takeover the St George spiritual home.

"We're in the home sheds. I know they haven't played at Kogarah in the away sheds, so it's not going to feel like a home game for them," Morris said.

"It'll be decked out in black, white and blue and there won't be much red and white there around the grounds."

Paul McGregor, possibly the greatest Steeler of all, fired back, declaring Kogarah would also be Dragons territory.

"It's our home. It's the home of red and white - looking forward to playing there. Familiar surrounds; settled day; let's go," McGregor said.

And given the Sharks record there, they have won 12 of 38 matches at Kogarah for a success rate of 31.6 per cent, he probably wins the argument. The Dragons, currently 11^th on eight points, two behind their next two opponents Cronulla (ninth) and South Sydney (eighth) kept their season alive with a great escape against the Bulldogs in Wollongong.

But there is little doubt they need to win these two games to stay in the hunt, with the Roosters, Eels, Raiders, Knights and Storm all to come in their run home.

Aside from the farcical scenes of Victorian teams trying to escape during Covid-19 border restrictions, the A-League resumption has largely failed to make an impact in the dramatic push to the end of football season.

But behind the scenes there is a very significant boost to the Wollongong Wolves hopes of A-League inclusion.

Ruled out of the expansion process as the failed Southern Expansion bid withered on the vine when Macarthur was given the nod, the Wolves best hope is now a national second division.

There are still doubts around the funding, organisation and management about how this would happen.

But moving the A-League back to winter would align the competition with the state league competitions, paving the way to the Wolves being including in an Australian second-tier, like the English Championship, where Leeds won promotion this week.
