It would be great if we could get Smith back for 2013. Just imagine this 30 man squad coached by Potter or Brown in 2013:
1. Beale
2. Morris
3. C Stanley
4. Cooper (vc)
5, Nightingale
6. Soward (c)
7. Jacob Miller
8. Weyman
9. Rein
10. Smith
11. Creagh
12. Frizell
13. Prior - instructions to only tackle, tackle and tackle. No hit ups at all.
Bench
14. Hunt - prop rotation
15. King - Hooker rotation
16. Merrin - prop and backrow rotation
17. De Belin - backrow rotation
Reserves - Start off in Cutters or NYC
18. Cummins
19. Goodwin
20. Green
21. Charly Runciman
22. K Stanley
23. Sam Clune
24. Mathews
25. Stockwell
26. Marketo
27. Vidot
28. Jarrad Hickey
29. Shannon Wakeman
30. Jarrod Thompson
This squad is complied under the assumption that the Dragons will only have enough money to recruit Beale, Frizell, Smith and Jacob Miller for 2013.
It is also assumed that Hornby and Fein will not retire and free up the necessary cap and cash to recruit more players. So Hornby, Fein and other players not mentioned but under contract next year would play for the Cutters.
