I think the Dragons should be scrapped. Re-form the Celtic Warriors, the Ponty team at the momnet would hammer the Dragons and give the rest a run for their money. Lots of talent in that area and the lads who play for them are mostly from that area.

I know that players from other areas would come in, but what a fan base they would have and perhaps the best of the bad bunch of dragons might pick up a contract with them!

I highly doubt that Pontypridd would really beat a full strength Dragons side, but credit must be given to Ponty for their performances and results over the past couple of seasons. To me it's obvious that some of their players should at least be given a chance of playing regional rugby, something the Blues have failed to allow them to do. Maybe the Dragons should have a look at signing up a couple of Ponty players, especially younger ones that have potential to develop into future internationals but are playing at a decent standard already. Get them before the Blues do!

Umm the Dragons did that after the Ponty based regional side folded and picked up some very useful players. Perhaps it could happen again but with the head coach of Ponty now at the Blues it's unlikely they would go anywhere other than the Blues (unfortunately)."
