Official Statement from Dragons club:
Today there has been speculation by both the media and by an individual, about the Dragons and their behaviour, in their hotel, in Newcastle, after the match on Friday night.
It is not satisfactory to hear that an individual would criticise any of the Dragons players for being rude to the staff of the hotel. The Management of the hotel advise however, that the staff have not complained about the manner of any of the Dragons players.
It is also not satisfactory an individual would criticise any of the Dragons players for creating unnecessary noise in the hotel, as such a person should expect to be able to satisfactorily enjoy the environment of the hotel in which they are staying.
In saying that however, there was certainly no complaint from the Management of the Hotel about noise or damage to the any of the rooms in the hotel, as has been asserted.
The Club is advised that the General Manager of the hotel has no complaint to register against the club or players.
Certainly any damage to hotel property, namely a statue, was not caused by a Dragons player.
