Dean Young is not in our top 17

[grandorient]

Tiger_Nick,

You are a tool of the highest order. I welcome your thoughts about any aspect of our club and players, but to come out with a staement like that; it beggars belief.

Then again, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

As such is the case, I retract that "tool" statement.

GO

hahaa mate believe it or not im giving saints a compliment. like i said you guys have so much talent in your squad, i dont see how dean young could be in your best 17. you have better options at hooker and backrow.

he reminds me of a poor mans ben galea

 

[DeeJ]

You have a point tiger nick. Fein is by far the dragons best hooker and should play there all the time barring injury. The Dragons have a wealth of backrowers and Young isn't up there with the best of them. He is a good club man but I am afraid there are simply better players in that squad.

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

dean young is the worst player in the nrl. with the talent you guys have i cant believe he is anywhere near your top 17

Dean Young's about 100000000 times better than John Morris

 

[LazyDreamer]

I can't believe people want to drop the guy who had the decency to take a swing at bloody Campese!

Keep Deano in there, just keep him away from dummy-half. His passing game's not up to the task.

 

[Traditional Saint]

For all you Dean Young knockers go to the NRL site and look at his statistics from last night. How any of you can think he is not a top 17 player is absolutely ridiculous.
FFS leave him alone.

 

[DirtyHarry]

Some players really polarize the fans.

The differences of opinion on this thread.....doesn’t belong on the field; shouldn’t be in the squad……best player all night; gives 110%. :lol:

Maybe we watch different games

 

[STG-Dragon]

My god, do people watch the games.

Dean Young was probably our best on the field last night, but some don't want him in the 17???? :crazy:

Best on the field :lol: no wonder we lost.

 

[thommo4pm]

Best on the field :lol: no wonder we lost.

hmmm....lets see.
Made a sh*t load of tackles, plenty of clean up tackles also.
Ran the ball straight and hard.
Made next to no errors.
Was trying to pump the rest of the team up all night when they were down....I assume you were at the ground, if you were you would have seen this.
Hardly missed a tackle.

Yep I can see why you thought he had a bad game. :?

 

[STG-Dragon]

young last night made
41 tackles
missed 1
4 dummy half runs
10 hit-ups for 100 mtrs
1 penalty against and 1 error in his 72 min on the field.
i think he did his job alright.

Where is the stat for taking sh*t options and f**king up our attack with them? I don't think he should be dropped from our 17 just to the bench for a bit, it would do him the world of good.

 

[SilentAssassin]

Imo I don't think Young will ever get back to his 06 form but he should be in the top 17 no doubt.

He's one of those players who is always going to be unnoticed. Even by his own fans it would seem.

To all the Young haters. Who do you suggest we put into the side?

 

[Ulysseus]

He reminds me of Thompson a great club man but limited in his ability and makes STUPID mistakes!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh Lance, he should have never been shown the door.
What do you get for taking a wage cut to keep the team together?
f**kED IN THE ARSE AND SHOWN THE DOOR!

 

[Coppo_ForeverYOUNG]

That knee injury f**ked him over.
that being said youngy is tops, as what has been said before he has a top work rate and is a great club man, and for all you merkins that have never played a season of footy, you realise how much you need a player like that in the team.

 

[LOYAL DRAGON]

I cant stand the frigin mistakes he makes, game after game after game

 

[jpaciocco91]

He got MOM against Penrith two weeks ago

 

[dubopov]

young is a liability if he is required to pass the ball.

 

[St from the Gong]

This thread should be nominated for "dumbest post of the year"

Young not in the top 17 "Please explain"

cheers SFTG

 

[redvscotty]

I was critical of Young earlier in the season. Am glad he has made me eat my words for most of the year.

 

[Godz Illa]

It's true in a way - he's not in our top 17. He's in our top 13. Started every match this year

 

[teegy]

It's true in a way - he's not in our top 17. He's in our top 13. Started every match this year

and he should be starting. to bring of the bench is a waste of an interchange. with him, creagh and Smith when fully fit we wouldnt need to interchange our 2nd row and lock.

thin of the teams that have won the recent grand finals. Manly had 2 backrowers (watmough & Stewart) that can play 80 min easily, melbourne were the same(Johnson & Hoffman). just means we can rotate the front row more regularly and have interchanges ready if needed at the end of the game
