Haha. Thinking back to some of these guys is making me feel more at ease about our 2012 squad that's for sure.
Albert Torrens.
How did we let a great halfback like him go?
Michael O'connor leaving disappointed me. In sort of recent times Craig Fitzgibbon. Should have kept him over Treacy.
I'm not sure rejects is the right word to call some of our past signings.
Jeremy Smith had already played for NZ, and in fact was named NZ's player of the year in 2008, before he came to the Dragons.
Darius Boyd was a former Australian Schoolboys player, GF winner, QLD origin representative and was in the Australian world cup squad before he arrived at the Dragons.
Neville Costigan was an Origin rep long before we got him as well.....
The Lattimore's, Vidot's and Matthews' of the world hardly compare to these 3.
It's called a Salary Cap, champ.
After we signed Costigan, Boyd and Smith, Scott, Morris, Weyman, Young, Soward etc all became Origin and/or Test players so obviously something had to give.....

Wycliff Palu ...would have loved to have seen how he turned out for us rather than the Wallabies.
Tinghaactually on the flip side, i'd wonder which players we have signed that have been "the ones that got away" from other clubs..
i'd say soward for sure...
any others?

Beau Scott! Could've been both. We initially had him and were disappointed to lose him to Cronulla. Since leaving Cronulla he's won selection for NSW and Australia, and a premiershipactually on the flip side, i'd wonder which players we have signed that have been "the ones that got away" from other clubs..

Add Adam Cuthbertson to the original list now.....damn, how are we going to survive next year now? May as well forfeit each and every game....:roll:
