W.Smith....I remember that article on Billy Smith back in about...oww...1975 in the RLW, the one that showed how many bones he'd broken in his whole body...as in many ...that really got me into Dragons as a littly! The guts of the bloke and the passion...great work!
I remember that article,no wonder he likes a drink,the arthritic pain must drive him crazy throughout his body.Not saying todays players aren't tough by any means ,but players in previous eras played in the most brutal of times with foul play,hard grounds and the good old magic sponge to treat injuries.
Billy was as tough as they came.

Friz played another good part in the game last night. It's been said before but it's true, you guys have scored a good'un there.

Have to agree seems ok to me....just for the record glad the Sharks won last night, although the refs and video boys imo did their best to keep the Broncos in the game......the hit on Hoff was legit and should have resulted in a try and the try awarded to their skipper (Glen) imo was a double movement....but as usual the home town crowd in Bris imo have a large influence on refs decision making at times.....I think this is impacted by the fact that the crowd are so close to the sideline.....just wait and see what happens Wed night.....as I say just my observations.

srsly the refs were incredibly 1-sided, several textbook hits were penalised, nearly cost them the game too. I like how the sharks are using a 'pack-mentality' at the moment, their forward are all trying to give it to the opposition... though sustaining it without injury might be another story.

Better stop there fellas.
Too much agreeance between Sharks and Saints supporters can only mean Armageddon is nigh.
Make no bones about it, we will be sorry we let Friz go, hopefully he will be our Beau-Beau and come back.

Nah agreeance doesnt bother me...I give credit where its due....besides Im from Lilli Pilli and played for what was then Cronulla/ Caringbah.....used to be the St George area then thats why Im a Dragon through and through....anyway you blokes are the real deal this year and will do well....and just a footnote we will swap Friz for Jeremy if you like.

I think you last comment should be I and not we. Even though I love J Smith he is 31 and though playing well has seen better days. Frizell is 22. Lets go forwards not backwards.

Fair comment.....Im all for youth as well...mainly tongue in cheek stuff really....but having agreed with you there would be many on here that would love him back.....when he left so did the ''ouch" in our forwards imo...Was exactly the type of player we needed to stick around for awhile to bring out the best in young De belin, Hunt etc ...and at 31 I would sooner his 'better' days than some others in the NRL....

I agree with you BSE, it wouldn't bother me to see Smith back in the Red V, I just think Frizell, although largely untried I suppose at NRL level is probably the better option particularly long term. I hope he works out. Cheers

Friz looks the goods.. But we have room for smith.
He would be a huge boost to our pack.

Smith won't be coming back to the Dragons, unless the Telecrap organises it. It's all talk. Have to wait and see how Frizell goes. He does look big and strong.

I think he will be. I know he has spoken to the club. I know the players speak to him. I know he would rather play for s team that's based in the gong.
He will be back.

Yeh interesting to see Shane Flanagan try to squash those rumours on sat at the airport, they asked him and he said he will be re-signed etc..

BBC if you know so much, you will know that he is still under contract at the Sharks.

To tell you the truth I think you know bugger all.
