No Dragons supporters. I have been a Red V diehard for most of my life. I have watched live many of the greats.. Walsh, Gasnier, Raper, Smith and Langlands. After Sticks Provan retired I persuaded him to be the first signitary of my Dragons scrapbook. Chook Raper was the second and Monty Porter the third. A piece of me died in 99 when our famous St George ceased to be a stand alone club.

The loss of Mann does not bother me all that much. Mary often played him in positions that did not suit him. I would much prefer a specialist in a specialist position not a bits and pieces player.

Who will played full back for the Dragons this seasons now we have shelled out for Corey Norman. The former Eel is expected to slot seamlessly into Widdop's 5/8 role while the Englishman will shift to fullback. I like this idea as we have not had a ball playing custodian for several years.
