The Tigers have been competitive since their formation, but have yet to win a premiership. The two merger partners which produced the Southern Flinders Football Club had not endured indifferent fortune for many years. Rocky River's most recent premiership was won in 1974, when the club was known as Gladstone Combine. Laura-Wirrabara, formed in 1972 by, as the name suggests, an amalgamation between the Laura and Wirrabara clubs never managed to achieve premiership success, although Laura claimed a total of five flags as a standalone club.
The 2007 season saw the Tigers comfortably qualify for the finals in third place only to fail to do themselves justice against Broughton-Mundoora in the first semi final, which was lost by the disquieting margin of 83 points.
