Victor Catrios came to first grade via the Banksia Waratahs Junior Rugby League Football Club in the mid 1920s. He played two first grade games for St. George in 1926 [1] before retiring.[2]

Victor Catrios was the first St. George Dragons player that was born in Greece, and he more than likely the first Greek-born player from any team to play first grade rugby league in Australia.[3]
