Well if he gets a run with the NRL team he should have his best season yet. The Goons have a lot more experienced talent than we do.

he had his chance and he was rubbish, id look good outside josh morris
mr massive eye brows and a d!ckhead to boot
I disagree with you diminishing Bryson's season just like you have Kimmorley's as while they were playing outside better players (which had to help, no dispute) they still made the step up and improved their form.
Having said that I agree with what your main point is, which is that the club had good reason to get rid of both as one wasn't performing and we had better options and the other had not delivered enough return over his time and we needed a change.
All well and good to say we should have kept Bryson in hindsight but he never showed that while he was with us so good on him for his success but no regrets here. Plus at this point if he was in the team call me crazy but i'd still pick Cov and Fergo anyway. Fergo's speed and x factor and Cov's reliability and air ability. Good wingers if they can be utilised with a better centre pairing.

There seem to be a lot of players who leave the club because they are struggling with form and go to another club to have their best seasons. Could it be the coaching style of Ricky. The recruits we get don't seem to perform as well as we expect either.
Thats a bit unfair. Happens with heaps of clubs and happened to us long before Ricky came also. Just one of those things.
Could be the change of environment, given a proper opportunity, better or different players playing around you, motivated by being booted or sometimes just plain luck.

'Lord' Ted's son Bronx Goodwin joins Dragons
'Lord' Ted's son Bronx Goodwin joins Dragons
BY MICHAEL COX
08 Jan, 2010 04:00 AM
If Bronx Goodwin is looking for an example of how to revive his NRL career, he need look no further than the man sitting next to him - a fellow winger with a famous Dragons father.
Brett Morris, son of St George legend Steve, started last year playing NSW Cup for Shellharbour Dragons and finished it by starring for the Kangaroos in their four-nations triumph in England. Along the way he became the NRL's leading try-scorer.
Goodwin, son of former Test player "Lord" Ted, watched the progress of the Dragons flier with interest and hopes to follow a similar pathway to stardom after signing with the Dragons' feeder team.
The 26 year-old is training with the St George Illawarra full-time squad in preseason and is hoping to gain a career lifeline after tumultuous stints at Canberra and Cronulla.
After playing 23 first-grade games, Goodwin was sacked by the Raiders at the end of 2008 after being charged with assault. He then experienced an injury-interrupted season with the Sharks, playing just four matches in 2009.
"It's another chance to play in the NRL," Goodwin said of his opportunity with Shellharbour.
"Hopefully it pans out for me the same way it did for Brett.
"I've still got a tough preseason ahead of me; I haven't been in training for six or seven months so obviously I've got to get fit and come back that way.
"Hopefully I get my chance."
Like Morris, Goodwin is Dragons royalty - both players' fathers were stars at St George. "Slippery" Morris was an electrifying winger and halfback in the late 1970s and early 1980s, while "Lord" Ted was a premiership player with the club in 1977. Both were internationals.
Goodwin was raised in Perth but was always a Red V supporter and says he is proud to follow in his father's footsteps.
"I grew up a Dragons fan and to come back and play here, where dad played, means a lot to me and to my old man," Goodwin said.
"Hopefully I can give a bit of a show like he did. I'm living with him at the moment and he's proud of me. He doesn't really say much about footy these days but he did say, 'At least you're wearing the red and white now - you're wearing the right colours'."
Not only do Morris and Goodwin share an impressive rugby league lineage, but both have talented siblings - Josh Morris and Bryson Goodwin - at rivals Canterbury.

A humble Bronx Goodwin teaches youth from experience
A humble Bronx Goodwin teaches youth from experience
BY MICHAEL CARAYANNIS
10 Jun, 2010 04:00 AM
BRONX Goodwin knows what it is like to have nowhere to turn.
The outside back had the footballing world at his feet before being sacked from the Canberra Raiders for bringing the club into disrepute two years ago.
Gone with it was a $700,000 contract and the prestige of being a top-class rugby league player.
Now he is on the comeback trial both on and off the field as he leads a Dragons community program as an active member of a group mentoring youth at the St George PCYC at Rockdale.
The Footy Fever program run with St George police involves Goodwin and teammates Jason Nightingale, Ricky Thorby, Michael Greenfield, Jack Bosden and assistant coach Steve Price on Tuesday afternoons mentoring a dozen young offenders and youth at risk identified by police or schools.
"I let the fame go to my head a bit,'' said the injured St George Illawarra back.
"I was young and getting good money.
"I never had money in my life until I started playing footy and then I had all this cash and didn't know what to do with it.
"So when this [program] came up for us, I put my hand up straight away.''
While time constraints keep the other players from appearing each week, Goodwin has not missed a mentoring session.
They undertake one-on-one or group sessions with the youth in the hope of stemming anti-social behaviour.
"We come here and show them that if you come from a troubled background you can still make it,'' Goodwin said.
"We do a lot of team-building stuff and play a few games.
"We sit down and talk about anger management.
"I think the boys hearing it from me - someone who lost a $700,000 deal stresses to them that decisions they make can have a big impact on their lives.
"I don't know if these boys have family they can look up to, so if they want they can look up to us.''
The 26-year-old is hoping to be back on the field within a month after injurying his elbow playing for Dragons' feeder club Shellharbour earlier this year, and undergoing reconstructive surgery.
"I turned and my own winger jammed my arm in a tackle,'' Goodwin said.
"It was frustrating. I was going well, I'd made the Charity Shield team and would have been close to playing first grade.''
Following his sacking with Canberra, Goodwin played four matches with the Sharks last year before linking with the Dragons. He has extended his deal for another season.
"When I first did the elbow I thought it was the end of me,'' Goodwin said.
"But Wayne [coach Bennett] has shown confidence and re-signed me. I can bring my family from Canberra as well.''
Although he grew up a Raiders fan, wearing a red and white jersey wasn't too foreign to him as son of one of St George's favourites "Lord'' Ted Goodwin.
"The boys call me lord or junior lord,'' Goodwin said.
"They just hammer me ... and the old man loves me being in the red and white.''

Goodwin excels after taking the long road back
Goodwin excels after taking the long road back
Chris Barrett
February 14, 2011
THE new season is yet to begin but already the NRL has dished up another tale of redemption. Last year it was Todd Carney, the reformed ex-Canberra problem child who led the Sydney Roosters to the grand final and was named Dally M and international player of the year for his troubles.
On last night's evidence, this year's feature character could well be his old friend Bronx Goodwin, sacked by the Raiders in 2008 for an altercation outside a Canberra nightclub on the same night as another Carney incident prompted club officials to tear up their halfback's contract. The comparisons do not end there. Like Carney, Goodwin spent time playing bush footy and pouring beers behind a bar while in NRL purgatory. He has also long since reshaped his life, and been given lifelines at first Cronulla and then the Dragons.
However, unlike his brilliant former teammate, Goodwin's path back towards first grade has not been paved with glory. Since being cut from the Raiders - and briefly pursuing the club for unfair dismissal in the Industrial Relations Commission - the son of former international Ted Goodwin and older brother of Canterbury winger Bryson has played only four NRL games, with the Sharks in 2009.
The 26-year-old's season in 2010 was split between overcoming an elbow injury and playing with the Shellharbour Dragons in the NSW Cup, opportunities in a star-studded St George Illawarra back line being hard to come by. Forcing his way into Wayne Bennett's side will remain a challenge, particularly with Darius Boyd at fullback and Mark Gasnier and Matt Cooper in the centres, but he will be difficult for the master coach to ignore with more of this.
Two tries, the first set up by impressive young back-rower Jack Bosden, and four goals for an overall haul of 16 points was all but the perfect audition. Bennett, make no mistake, was watching, even if his deputy Steve Price was pulling the strings last night as a result of the boss's All Stars commitments.
The shame for Goodwin and the Dragons is that should he not be able to sneak his way into the top-grade team, he will find himself running around at local level in the Illawarra Carlton League this year. Shellharbour, the Dragons' feeder side, have withdrawn from the NSW Cup, leaving St George Illawarra without an opportunity to send their back-up or older players to that competition.
The same predicament applies to the 22-year-old Bosden, another former Shark. Yet to get a look-in at NRL level, he earned plaudits last night with a couple of searing runs and a try himself.
Elsewhere, winger Peni Tagive will be happy to be back fit and playing. The former Wests Tiger, who already has had two shoulder and two groin operations, tore an anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in last year's first Dragons trial and has sat out ever since. Given the torrid time he has endured, particularly in the past year, a late four-pointer for him last night was just the cream.
