[RedPenno]

his son daimian chapman played a few games with us & at the time they thought he was going to be the next big thing but never happened

I know this isn't directly the reason for it, but if you think where most of those type of players have come from in the past 10-15 years it has been Qld. And we just don't seem to have enough feelers there to grab them when they pop up.

Cowboys, Storm, Broncos and recently even the Raiders have had a fair proportion of their big playmakers come from north of the border. Then you've got players like Barba at the Dogs, Cherry-Evans at Manly, Inglis at Souffs. Sure NSW has produced some good players during the same era, but far fewer spread over more teams.

dragons have had their queensland stars such as mark coyne 7 wally fullaton smith.

Spot on! We need to have feeer clubs in QLD

Anyone that hates Mundine has their own reasons.
Just watch the second half of the 1999 semi againt the Sharks.
A truely gifted player.

Hmmm, or watch the 1999 grand final...(for an opposing view).

Why in recent decades and in particularly since the merger have we not been able to produce /buy the match winning player that most other successful clubs come across every now and again ?The type of player that can win you the tight games , perform when the chips are down and generally coach the side on the field.

You must have missed 2010.

Players like lamb,lockyer ,langer, lewis ,menninga ,fittler,alexander ,sterling ,kenny ,daley ,thurston,toovey inglis,smith cronk, slater,clyde,hasler etc .
Surely we are due for one of our own.

Sounds like a roll call of your favourite players.

If you're going to include all those players, including Hasler, then you must also include Blacklock, Coyne, Gasnier, Cooper, Bailey, Weyman, Tallis, Mundine, and any other player that has won games for us in the more successful years.

 

[Black Forest Dragon]

Gasnier, Mundine, Brad Mackay, Barrett.

Tony Quirk, Michael Sorridimi, John Chapman, Tony Trudgett

 

[bmwpower]

we bought gasnier in 2010

King if he stays injury free can be this kind of player.

...Dugan anyone? I swear someone mentioned he could be the next Changa...

...Dugan anyone? I swear someone mentioned he could be the next Changa...

Warren Ryan, who's old enough to have seen Changa in his prime, in fact possibly in his pram, has commented that Dugan reminds him of Chang.

I said that a while ago after watching Dugan's youtube highlights. He has a sidestep and the pace of the great Changa.
