All our ageing forwards will go including De Belin, Frizell, Graham and Vaughan and maybe the Sims brothers. We need to develop and encourage our younger players such as Blacker, Brittain, Ford, Fuimaono, Gale, Host, Kerr, Lawrie, Mc Innes, etc. The current young forwards remind me of Bath's Babes from 1977-79.
Wholeheartedly agree Dragon Revival , there is still some good raw talent in the lower grades and the Dragons need to move heaven and earth to ensure that they are not lost to other clubs as has been the case in the past.
But that unfortunately leads us back to the clubs coaching system and beyond that to the absolute pig- headness of the J.V. hierarchy who will not change a damn thing that will lead to some form of achievement or success .
To cut a very long story short we , the St.George Illawarra Dragons require an abundance of fully qualified coaches who insist upon nothing but the very best from their young charges , to mentor them and instill the will to win in each player .
Only when that step is taken will the Dragons be able to come out of this gloomy valley of shadows where they have been hibernating for nine long years and once again breathe fire .
