Where's Q Pongia ??

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

I'd find room for Apasai Toga, awesome broken field runner. Steve Edge for captain, best we ever had. And Blacklock ahead of Morris for shear entertainment value.

Where's Q Pongia ??

Pongia was a distinguished national representative, so couldn’t make the cut..

OK fellow tragics it is time to lift the curtain of despair and remember that we support a tremendously historic brand. With that in mind I want to share with you my best Dragons team of the last 40 years. When I get together with fellow tragics and start doing Bourbons we invariably slip into picking our favourite sides. So without further ado, here is my best/favourite team of the last 40 years!!!!!!!!!!

1. Ted Goodwin – still my all time favourite. Lord Ted!
2. Mitch Brennan – an absolute thoroughbred
3. Matt Cooper – best defensive centre we’ve had in the last 30 years
4. Mark Gasnier – tremendous talent
5. Brett Morris – great finisher and just pips Nathan Blacklock
6. Anthony Mundine – any-one who saw the 2nd half of the 1999 qualifying final against the Sharks knows this bloke could play
7. Steve Morris – Oh how I long for Sunday afternoons at Kogarah watching him run off Rod Reddy and Craig Young
8. Craig Young – tremendous prop
9. Dean Young – gotta have him packing down with his old man
10. Pat Jarvis – how tough was he?
11. Graeme Wynn – don’t you long for the days of a wide running destructive back-rower causing mayhem out wide?
12. Tyson Frizzell – this bloke has got it
13. The one and only – Rod Reddy

Reserves:

14. Lance Thompson – RIP
15. Pat Jarvis – tough as nails
16. Ben Creagh
17. Ben Hornby

Coach: Harry Bath

Rob I always lament the loss of quality players to other clubs before their time is up:

Forwards:
K Ryan (to Bulldogs in ‘67 which IMO cost us the 12th title on the run)
Fitzgibbon, Kite, Ryles, Bailey, Ennis, Tallis, Cook, Smith, Scott

Backs:
O’Connor, Hawthorne, Greaves, Morris x2, Bird, Duges

You could put together quite a team with those guys!

What an insult to the Friz.
Leikvol in Friz out

Frizz literally put his nuts on the line for the club.

His reward for showing such loyalty is that he is now an automatic selection in any team, good or bad, from now on..

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

LIke your original team.
Would change a few, but overall a great squad.
Love your sentiment.

But Tallis can get f...d...
Not a Saints legend in my eyes.

Im with you mate......Tallis and legends should never be used in the same sentence

 

[TruSaint]

Im with you mate......Tallis and legends should never be used in the same sentence

BUt never in terms of Saints.
Hope u r well matey.

All good thanks mate..... once again struggling to come to terms with McBrexits positional changes and his deplorable use of our bench players.....to be honest he thinks hes smart coming up with this concept of I'll fool the opposition we will play switch er roo.......well guess what Mary its no use delving into these mind games when you cant even get the basics right

 

[Old Timer]

3 R Gasnier
4 M Gasnier
5 Morris
6 Clay
7 Smith
