Andrew Davey medical retirement
Far from a dream NRL career but his sacrifices paid off and he made it. Fourth oldest NRL debutant* and from memory had to split up with a long term partner to keep chasing a chance to make the NRL.

Hopefully retirement more precautionary than anything, and no long lasting symptoms

*Berrell would jump him if we debut him next season!

Junior Amone found guilty over that hammer/roof incident. Max punishment is 7 years jail.

Great move by the Dragons letting Sullivan go!

Guessing Flanno plays 6 and they ramp up their Tracey chase...y.
Probs Flanno in the hope of getting an easy run into a halves spot next season

Didn’t he leave the dogs mid season over “Wrestlegate” (or something)?
I think he did complain on the way out - and went on to play way more games for eels.
Believe the player who complained about the wrestling punishment (when they thought they were not in the wrong) was Topine, who also was clearly out of favour. Topine has also previously been recognised as their club person of the year (2020). Odd someone with the attitude previously would kick up a stink if a punishment was fair and reasonable…

He should see jail time as far as I'm concerned, intimidating and chasing a bloke with a hammer to the point he jumps off a roof is not reasonable behaviour. Even if you would have never hit him you're still responsible for the outcome.
And to deny he did it just makes it even worse.
Lucky he was even allowed to play last season.
Nuffin to do wiv me brah. I was havin a chat, ya know I mighta had a hammer but whatevs then boom old matey jumps off da roof cuz. I dunno blame gravity maybe bro!

I can't see him getting jailed for a first offence for a brain snap.

I've seen Amone after a Dragons game, and he seemed like a decent guy, treating fans really well... he looks so young in person.

I’d agree if he had copped to it, but he’s tried to pretend it wasn’t him.

But I don’t think he will be jailed, especially as he can afford a half competent lawyer

I seem to remember the forearms/bumpers were also his go. He played with the "Phantom Biter" long term if i recall, as well. The Biters Adelaide Coaching Career was nrly as short lived as Youngs Reference writing..

I was just a kid when I used to watch him play but he was the one who always stood out as a mean dirty player.

That was the game back then though I guess.

Dragons wants Josh Curran. If I’m him I’m digging my heels in at the warriors for 2 last season rather than joining them atm.
