Voted Prince, but SBW is a distinct possibility, as the shoulder charge was pretty much his biggest asset.

Hasn't the shoulder charge been out of Yawnion during the time $BW has been there though? I don't think that'll be a factor in whether he flops or not.

Yeah mate, but in League you get more of an opportunity to use it given the 10 metre rule. Yawnion has a lot less space to be able to utilise it, and when SBW was playing League it was arguably the strongest part of his game.

It's out of his game though. Don't you think he would of used in in Yawnion if he could? There was clearly ample opportunity for it's use in rah rah or it wouldn't of been banned huh?

Anyway, I can't see him having the impact some hope for. His new specialty will be self preservation so he'll be healthy for his next cameo in some other sport. Running at little guys will be his go. He might overtake Thaiday as a third man in specialist as well.

Biggest flops countdown:

10. Mose Masoe

This overrated prop will fit in with Penriths game plans: losing. Puts in 20% effort at training and I don't see how Cleary would be any better at getting him match fit. He'll maybe make one tackle and huff and puff his way back to the bench.

9. BJ Leilua

I'm so glad Easts got rid of this guy. An average backrower pretending to be a subpar centre. Current club Newcastle, next stop England.

8. Burgesses (Besides Sam)

This is just too funny to be true. Just because one brother is good doesn't make them all good. Now they have 3 junk players filling up their roster and they can't get rid of them cause Sam will get upset! Haha. The only people who see anything in them are souffs fans.

7. Jeff Lima

Would fit in with Asotasi in the "too old and no impact" props at souffs. Nobody comes back from england a better player, except maybe Lyon.

6. Ben Teo

The guy underachieved at Wests, did okay at Broncos and now he'll underachieve again at souffs. He can kiss his origin career goodbye if he chooses to stay at souffs.

5. Bronson Harrison

Merge's star recruit for 2013. credit where its due, he is better than Ben Fairy Creagh. Bronson Harris epitomises the decline of the dragons and the spoon is heading to the gong this year!

4. Dave Taylor

Too overweight to make an impact, and titans have a million backrowers already. Will he even make the starting side? Well behind Myles, Bird, Harrison, Minichiello, Bailey, Douglas, James etc.

3. Scott Prince

Broncos fans think he is the second coming of Lockyer? He's an old man. No hope. Prince and Wallace must be close to the most overrated in the competition.

2. All Cronulla recruits

Bred not bought. Lewis is the only one who comes close to an NRL standard player. Ryan is more of a comedian than NRL player. Heighington was a Magpies standard player last year and Gordon is too injury prone. So effectively the scum are operating on a weakened roster. Carney can't save you this year.

1. Bwaiff

Can't wait to see how this cancer destroys the tigers.

Who " rates" Masoe? Let alone overates him?

I don't think you can determine Money Bills form whilst catching a cold in the outside backs in the other code. But he has by far the biggest expectations, whether he can live up to them in the 10 or so games he will play will be the issue.

No farkin idea either lol.

SE - no Dragons side has taken the spoon since 1938. When was your mob's last one again? Even in the dark days of the late 80's and early 90's were we nowhere near it, and anyone with an ounce of RL knowledge (bias aside) can see we have a better rounded squad than last year. Not saying we will win it, but I'm quietly confident we can make the 8 barring injury to a number key players.
