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.
4. Shaun Timmins
The current Dragons forward pack is pretty stacked. Frizzell, Graham, Vaughan, Merrin. All rep quality players. That said, the Dragons could really use the returning Shaun Timmins.
He would fit straight into lock, where he played almost as a second five-eighth. Although the role has changed a little bit since his playing days, Timmins was never one to not throw his hand up for the difficult hit up either.
A Steeler turn Dragon, Timmins represented the club on 124 occasions, adding to his 86 for Illawarra prior to the merger. He has 9 NSW jumpers and 9 more for the Kangaroos on his resume across multiple positions.
One of the genuine utilities, Timmins could play lock, second row, centre of even in the halves. Few will forget his match-winning drop goal for the Blues in 2004.
