Name your strongest Dragons side since 1990 till today.

[Slippery Morris]

The current back 5 (Boyd, Moz, Nighty, Coops and Gaz) are the best since 1990.
In the halves I would have Barrett for Soward. Soward probably has a better kicking game but Barrett would probably be stronger in other departments of the game. Goldthorpe would be my halfback. Backrow would be McKay , Creagh and Tallis. Tallis was simply awesome in the red V. Weyman and Bailey or Craig Smith. Hooker is Browny. Browny was a clever No.9 and had a thousand tricks up his sleeve. Timins, Lance, Young and Barnhill. Barnhill was great value allways good for a few hitups.

I wish I could squeeze a couple of other guys in, I feel dirty leaving Smith, Barnhill and Soward out.

Ainscough is a name that I will forever loathe, no matter how many player of the year awards he has, thanks to the 99 GF.

Mundine may have been a d!ck, but he was easily the best 5/8 we have had over that timeframe.

 

[Mr Saab]

Cant belive there is no Rod Maybon or Wes Patten in anyones teams

 

[saints4ever]

I got wessie in my second team posted

 

[saints4ever]

Heres another idea.... 99 grand final side v 10 grand final side.

Who would win? Pick the score...

In an awesome game id say 2010 wins 24- 16

 

[stg666]

nathan blacklock would be my first pick, and work from there. nobody comes close to his try scoring ability.

And Hello all Finally decided after many years to make a forum account and follow the mighty dragons on the forums. Been a enthusiastic Dragons supporter since I was born and even have the Trent Barrett DailyM medal memorabilia before he went to the "Sharkies" with a room full of stuff as well.

So, No I'm not a bandwagon fan. In fact was at the GrandFinal and many other games over the past 10years I've been attending them (And no I'm not 10).

Go Dragons

On paper, that is my best side, but I take the point that its only the 2010 players that delivered so it is hard to go past them.

Unlucky:
Cooper - it is only because Mark Coyne is a legend and was St George through and through even when it was unfashionable.
Mundine - most naturally talented player I have ever seen in the red and white, shame his attitude didn't match. If he scores/passes in the 1999 grand final it doesn't come down to the video ref.
And yes, I feel very dirty selecting a predominately Sharkie player and a predominately Bronco player but they both got their starts at the Dragons.

[OhWhenTheSaints]

Sorry but as far as I'm concerned the players who won the only Grand Final for Saints in my 31 years of following them are immortals in my own book and speak for themselves.
