I thought Poppa Clay was overrated, should have been a back rower.

I mean how can you play bad when you have Billy Smith inside you and Changa and Gaz outside you.

what, no bites ?

if Moffo posted this you guys would be all over it
Half these kids have never heard of Poppa Clay Twiz.

FTR, Poppa did play at lock.

In fact, he was originally signed as a lock forward before moving to five eighth. Also played in the centres for a bit.

I think the reason most people don't like the dragons is because their players only have to play one half decent game and all of a sudden they are origin players. Because they are such a wellsupported team they get the channel 9 games and therefore allthe media attention.

Justin Poore is a prime example. I always thought he wa sh*t, but he was a dragons player so he had to be good and was picked for origin. Then he leaves and IMO plays to the same level but can't even get a run on the bench for The bench for country.

If Beau Scott was say penriths center, do you honestly think he would be anywhere near origin?

I don't like the Dragons because their supporters are delusional, but with regards to your Dragon player = rep player point, I can't get past the irony that they'll throw Dragon journeymen into Origin and yet their most valuable player who is a specialist where NSW are weakest, is disregarded completely. And lol at panther Scott getting picked for Origin.

just throw anyone who is named from 1 > 17, the death riders and those just waiting to stick the boot in will agree without hesitation.

LOL! are you f*cking serious?!

are you seriously suggesting poore is playing at the same level as last year?

& as such are you seriously suggesting that last year's form was 'sh*t"?

oh dear.....:lol:

Not sure if you noticed but the dragons were MP last year and are sitting on top again this year. Surely that would indicate there must be someone in the team playing decent???

Or are you like a nsw selector who for some reason believe that the nsw saviours (gallen Barrett pearce and odonnell) are awesome yet their teams are (assume storm have points) last, 14th and 11th... Just doesn't make sense to me.

The other bit I don't get is the massive call for Douglas and snowden. Yes I think they are decent players, but look at it this way, nsw would then have 4 players in the team, plus have tupou and other former rep stars, why are they sooooo terrible??? Maybe cause these guys are average at best yet stand out in their real ordinary team. Just some thoughts...

Also, the drags get ch 9 games cause they rate well... I would rather they played on fox (better commentators and always live) but unfortunately it doesn't happen.

People really need to get over their dragons hate.

One final example, 92/93, two GFs in a row, only brad mackay could make rep teams.

Guaranteed to lose you a Grand Final. You might want to think about dropping him before it's too late.

Oh hold on, I'm in the wrong century....... damn time machine

So would all the Bennett lovers love him if he was still Brisbane's coach?

Im assuming you mean would all the dragons lovers love him if he was still brisbanes coach?
Hell yes. I am dragons die hard through and through. I have admired Bennett for years. I have had his quotes around my room for years. Regardless of what team he coaches, he is a very intelligent man from whom we can all learn something, from not only his football but also his philosophies on life. And I couldnt agree more, he needs an official position asap!!

Must be a cold day in hell ..i'm agreeing with you...
How the f**k That girl makes rep teams is beyond a joke....
Has he ever played in closer than winger?
lol. Chuck Saab was joking.

Creagh hits the line harder than most players and gives the same in defence.

I appreciate that this is hard to understand if you don't watch the game.
