The team made their debut in the NSWRL 's 1988 Winfield Cup premiership against reigning premiers , the Manly - Warringah Sea Eagles , and defeated them 44 -- 10 . However , after this promising start they failed to make the finals . In their second season they won the mid-week knockout competition , the 1989 Panasonic Cup . The club first tasted premiership success in 1992 , and again in 1993 , defeating the St. George Dragons in both years . </P>
