How Good Are The 2015 Dragons?

In a prevous post, I've predicted the Dragons will make the top 4 this season providing we can play Packer in the early rounds of 2015 and of course, if our players play to their full potential.



This is not just a wild prediction; I came to this conclusion after comparing the talent of our top 17 players against the top 17 of last season's premiers. So I have graded the top 17 of each club by allocating points 1 to 10 with10 being the highest score;



Dugan 9 ........................Inglis 10

Nightingale 10.............. Johnston 7

Nabuli 6 ........................Millard 6

Matta 'Utia 6 ................ Auva'a 6

Aitken 5 ........................Walker 8

Widdop 8 .....................Keary 6

Marshall 7 ....................Reynolds 9

Creagh 7 ......................Sutton 7

Thompson 7 ................Lowe 7

Frizell 7 .......................Turner 7

Merrin 8 ......................G Burgess 9

Packer 7 .....................Grant 7

Rein 7 .........................Luke 8 94

Sub Totals 94............94



De Belin 6 ..................T Burgess 7

Cooper 6 ....................Tyrrell 7

O'Brien 5 ....................Stewart 7

Rose 5 .... ..................Clark 5 2

Sub Totals 22.............26



Total 116 ....................120



So, this is my estimation and I am sure others will come up with their own. From the above figures, we are even on paper when it comes to the run-on 13. However, we fall away with our bench forwards right now.



And, if the likes of O'Brien and Rose can lift their contribution, we surely have to be in the hunt for a top four spot this season.
