A lot of people you talk to rate the Dragons squad as the best in the league so i decided to compare both sides rating them without being biast...

1 Patten (8.5) v Hornby (8.5) [Both pretty good would have Patten though slighty over Hornby]

2 El Masri (8.5) v Best (7.5) [Havent seen much of Best but he wasnt that great at the sharks would pefer El Masri even without his star goal kicking]

3 Lolesi (8.5) v Gasnier (8.5) [Personally i would have Lolesi because Gasnier is always injuried but all in all both are qualities players, although most would rate Gasnier better]

4 Tonga (9.5) v Cooper (8.5) [Tonga is a gun and would beat any centre he came up againest at this point in time, so he gets the nod above Cooper even though Cooper is a very classy Centre]

5 Utai (9.5) v Simmonds (7.5) [Utai is the best winger in the game for mine and Simmonds comes no where close]

6 Anasta (9) v Barrett (9) [Really cant split these two both are very good players, i would have Barrett for the rep games and Anasta for the club games]

7 Sherwin (9) v Head (9) [Again both top halfback i really do like Matthew Head, but i would still not swap Brent Sherwin for any other halfback he is a legend when on song]

8 O'Meley (9.5) v Ryles (9) [Shrek is a awesome prop who i wouldnt swop for any other prop, in saying that Ryles is very good when he is on the field]

9 Perry (7.5) v Ennis (8.5) [Perry is very good defensively but average in attack, i havent seen much of Ennis but from what i have seen he does look the goods so he would be ahead of Perry]

10 Mason (9.5) v Bailey (9.5) [Both extrodinary players, i would have Luke Bailey in any side i choose let it be for Australia or whoever he is awesome, but in saying that we all know how good Mason is also, so they would be equal]

11 Sonny Bill Williams (10) v Young (8 ) [SBW best 2nd rower i have ever seen is awesome, Young doesnt even come close]

12 Ryan (9.5) v Thompson (9) [Both very good players but i would have Ryan for sure. Ryan is a great player and leader]

13 Grimaldi (8 ) v Timmins (9) [I would have Timmins over Grimaldi but im not taking away anything from Grimaldi]

Bench

14 Maitua (8.5) v Creagh (8 )
15 Hughes (8 ) v Manu (8 )
16 Asotasi (9) v Sims (8 )
17 Cwzlowski (7.5) v Poore (8 )


All in all from the 17 players the highest score being 170...

The scores were...

Bulldogs - 149.5 from 170
Dragons - 143.5 from 170

So i would rate the Doggies better than the Dragons, how do other people see it what are your opinions and thoughts?

If i had to choose a side from the Dragons and Bulldogs this would be my hybrid team...

1 Patten, 2 El Masri, 3 Lolesi, 4 Tonga, 5 Utai, 6 Barrett, 7 Sherwin, 8 O'Meley, 9 Ennis, 10 Bailey, 11 Mason, 12 Ryan, 13 Anasta. Bench 14 SBW, 15 Asotasi, 16 Ryles, 17 Head.

Both teams are pretty much on-par with each other, Rd1 won't be a good comparision/indication because both teams will have players out, maybe we will meet in the finals with full teams....

The Dogs are definately better, but some of the ratings are a joke.

Problem azz had was trying to figure out ratings for Dragons players who are rarely sighted on a football field for more than a few games a season :lol:

Ryles, Bailey, Gasnier, Barrett, Head, Thompson, Timmins and co, the Dragons highest paid spectators on their books.

How he gave Anasta a 9, especially when Anasta doesn't have to be injured to go missing on a football field, he seems quite capible of doing so whilst fully fit and still playing.

Anasta can be hold and cold so a 9 may not be an accurate rating, but methinks Barrett is in the same boat

Patten (8.5) [put him back to 8]

6 Anasta (9) [back to 8.5]

10 Mason (9.5) [derserves to be 9.5 he is a great player]

11 Sonny Bill Williams (10) [best player i have seen, i would give Lockyer and Johns 10 and SBW is awesome himself deserves 10]

13 Grimaldi (8 ) [Not a great player but does his job everyweek dont think he need to be changed]

14 Maitua (8.5) [Very good talent 8.5 earned]

15 Hughes (8 ) [Not flash but again does his job, same as grimaldi]
