Greatest ever and your favourite St George Illawarra Dragons player

[dragonsman4eva]

I think that the greatest ever St George Illawarra Dragons player is Shaun Timmins because he was pratically the best player every game even in a losing side. When I was young my favourite player was anthony mundine because of his skill but because the dic**ead left my favourite player has been dean young because he is a hard worker and is a great leader

 

[MattYg1]

Lance Thompson hands down...

This bloke would of died for the Dragons...

i remember hearing once that he actually said that to the team doctors when he went on the field with internal injuries...

True story... dont ask for a source...

 

[Macarthur Saints]

To rate a player as the greatest you would have to say the guy who has been in the most tests and origin games and who has had success with his club.
Gasnier ?
Ryles ?
Cooper ?
Bailey ?

Favorite St Ill would have to be Thompson,

Favorite Dragon is Ricky Walford hands down. (different thread though)

 

[God-King Dean]

Hard to answer who was the best... but my favourite is Gasnier. He's a freak.

But very soon I think Creagh or Young is gonna replace him. Heart & soul players.

 

[Dave Q]

Bob Lindner, he used to play for the Steelers.

He was the best player I have ever seen.

 

[Smithtown]

Everyone has there own favourites and fair enough.

For mine I look to a bloke who has class, skill, longevity, toughness, heart, is a matchwinner and a matchsaver, goes about his job with no fuss and no fanfare, has pride in his performance and the jersey he wears - and is a one Club man.

Matt Cooper is the man, and the greatest this decade for the Saints - for the above reasons.

Brad Mackay.

[LOYAL DRAGON]

Blacklock, i will never forget his tries

 

[SET2JT]

he also scored the best try rugby had ever seen for nsw

 

[Dave Q]

Blacklock, i will never forget his tries

The thing was that whole game appreciated them.

So athletic and enthusiastic.

Yes, hes a strong candidate for the honours.

Now lets not forget Mary McGregor, when he came onto the scene, the biggest back in the world, he was virtually unstoppable.

 

[SerbDragon]

Easy blacklock.

I used to worship tallis at one stage though... before he became a knobhead

 

[DragonLady]

Past: Shaun Timmins, none better in my opinion

Current: Todays lot can't go past Dean Young

 

[The Preacher]

I take it this is from '99 til now.

Blacklock by panels of fencing.
