We're looking back at the five players we would love to bring back from the St George-Illawarra Dragons.

For those who have missed recent editions, we choose five former players who could return to the club to improve their chances of winning a title.

The rules are similar to normal, being that we don't include current players who have moved clubs, or players who have retired in the past few seasons. These are players who I have seen in my lifetime, so anyone who played 30+ years ago isn't considered.

For today though we're adding a new rule. These are players who represented the joint venture club and not Steelers or Dragons prior to the merger.

As always, let us know below who you would bring back to help the Red V back to the promised land.

3. Nathan Blacklock

I feel like I'm picking on the backline again here but outside either Gasnier or Cooper would be one of the club's all time most prolific try-scorers in the form of Nathan Blacklock.

156 tries in his 193 first grade games, including a ridiculous 100 tries in 114 games for the St George-Illawarra version of his stint at the Dragons, makes him one of the modern game's best ever.

It's downright ridiculous that Blacklock never played for New South Wales. He did face some serious competition for a flank role however his ability to cross the line from literally anywhere made him super dangerous.

I'm sure Ben Hunt would give almost anything to have Blacklock on the wing. He was so quick, so powerful, so good in the air.

He topped the NRL try scoring list three years in a row between 1999 and 2001. Incredible!
