- St George and the NRL are currently investigating the shocking incident
- It took place during the defeat of dragons 20-28 by the Bulldogs on Saturday
The Dragons of San Jorge Illawarra have condemned the actions of a spectator who seemed to launch a meat cake to a rival group of Bulldogs supporters during its season opening on Saturday.
The club and the NRL are currently investigating the incident and have been reviewing the CCTV images of the Jubilee stadium to identify the individual.
It occurred after a 35 -second video of the incident went viral on social networks.
During the clip, two spectators are seen buying a meat cake in a concession support inside the ground. One of the individuals was seen wearing a San Jorge shirt.
The couple was seen talking with the store assistant asking him: “Would it look good in a Bulldogs supporter?”
The clip then jumps to show an individual with a San Jorge shirt throwing the cake to a group of bulldog fans in the stands.

A video of social networks has captured at the time the viewer threw the cake at a section of the Jubilee stadium
A man, with a top of the Bulldogs, who seemed to have been beaten by the cake, approached the camera and said: “What are you taking a video?” Then he seemed to show the spots on his blue and white shirt, saying: “Do they hit me?”
The police were also seen talking to a man after the incident.
NSW police officers were told that “a man had thrown a meat cake into another person inside the stands,” but no arrests were made.
Despite that, a NSW spokesman said that consultations continue to be made while encouraging those with information about the incident to contact the St George police.
Meanwhile, the dragons said they were working with the NRL to identify the individual in question and criticized the behavior of man.
“Dragons are aware of a video that circulates on social networks that represents the antisocial behavior of a dragon fan in the game last night against the Bulldogs at the Nestra Jubilee stadium,” said a club statement.
'Dragons condemn any behavior of this type in the strongest terms and will help NRL in relation to any violation of the Spectator NRL code of conduct.
'Dragons want to apologize sincerely with the Bulldogs fan affected by the incident. We will work with the bulldogs to contact the fan and transmit our apologies directly.
'As a club, we want all fans, both at home and outside, always feel safe in our games. Any behavior that makes others feel safe on which it will act.
“Dragons would also like to emphasize that an individual's behavior should not reduce value to what was generally a very respectful crowd with fans of both clubs that support the party with a great spirit.”

Others resorted to social networks to attack the follower of the dragons.
“Unpleasant behavior,” one wrote in X.
“Without class,” added another.
“Horrible action,” said one.
Dragons would suffer a 28-20 defeat in front of a Jubilee stadium with exhausted tickets.
Despite a late wave, with Christian Tuipulotu scoring a hat-trick of attempts, the dogs were too strong for the local team, with Marcelo Montoya, Blake Wilson, Connor Tracey and Sitili Tupouniua, all visitors.
