Steve Smith came third in the Alan Border Medal as voted by his peers, the media and umpires.
Yet you know better.
Smith could not be captain without the support of the Australian players, coaches and the executive of CA.
Yet you know better.
Or are you just spouting the product of peristalsis.

CONFIRMED: Rebels fall into voluntary administration as Rugby Australia seeks 'sustainable and successful future'
I celebrated the WI victory because I am an Australian supporter. I celebrated the victory of an unknown, under-resourced, cheerful young side that had been written off by many fans and commentators as easy beats for a rampant Australian team. I celebrated the sportsmanship of the Australians in congratulating the WI team. I celebrated the spirit in which the game was played.
Of course, Shamar Joseph’s life-story is a cricketing fairy tale.
All cricket fans should celebrate this WI victory.
It's not un-Australian to cheer against Australia - in fact, in our favourite sports, it is the best option
I’m not sure what role the board has in recruitment other than recruiting the coach. Unfortunately, Flannigan does not appear to be attracting any NRL standard players.
The last times St George won a premiership with locally developed players were Bath’s Babes in 1977 and 1979. ☹️

Agreed Don. Both Smith and Green need time to adjust to their elevation up the order. Green and Marsh are excellent all-rounders. The bowlers performed strongly. Team stability is essential to performance so let’s leave the playing XI as it is.

Dave Waite. Brian Smith…
OK no longer current coaches but “marquee” players and “coaches in waiting” are not attracted to Dragons, suggesting there are culture issues or no clear plan to make the club dominant again.
Cronulla, Flannagan’s alma mater, are building astutely and may become the club of choice for Illawarra juniors rather than the Gragons
NRL Round 1 predicted teams: St George Illawarra Dragons - Double blow for Flanagan with recruits out for year
Another long season for Dragons. There is no-one to get excited about. Lomax has not realised his potential. Feagai twins merely occupy squad space. Many of the first XIII would be lucky to make NRL squads at other clubs. SGI seem to be genuinely on the nose with NRL players hence the lack of any marquee signings. Only player to “follow” Flannigan to SGI is his journeyman son.
Where to from here? SGI needs a huge culture shift with emphasis on humility and respect. Greater investment in Illawarra junior players and place them on long term incentive contracts.
It will be interesting to see whether Flannagan’s attacking alignments and defence structures are suited to the NRL in 2024.
Us Dragons fans can only hope…

Perhaps it’s time to drop Marnus, promote Smith to 3 and play Green at 4…

Border and Thomson were established Test players before moving to Queensland. Gilchrist was established as a batsman for NSW. Absurdly the NSW selectors kept picking Emery who was also captain. MacGill preferred bowling on the spin friendly SCG rather than the WACA.

It’s hard to think of a less inspiring roster. Frank Facer and John Fleming must be crying in their graves. Perhaps it’s time to give youth a chance similar to Bath’s Babes in 1977.

The Waugh brothers were very talented footballers. Craig Young played NSW U16s
Have the Socceroos missed out on talent over the years because of other football codes?
Dave Warner did play T20 for Australia before he played for NSW.
