The Rumours Thread

[Coffs dragon]

Peakhurst Inn, Domino, Narwee, Bennelong, Penshurst, Oatley, Shannies, King’s Head, Sea Breeze, Mick Moylan, Bexley North, Arncliffe, Forest Inn have all been great watering holes over the years.

I use to live around the corner from the Sea Breeze hotel & often saw the team drink there after training at Todd Park Blakehurst.
Chang was the Captain/Coach, but Billy Smith was the heart & what a court jester, shit stirrer he was.
The team always seemed very united, reasonable behaved & enjoyed a good time together. Gold!

Well guys I stand corrected. Still recall seeing or reading that the Dragons did use the Wanda sand hills for some off season training during their golden run.

Yes, they did. Herb and Percy used different sand dunes in Victoria.

Still no word on whether it is Campbell-Gillard, Horsburgh or Saifiti we will have next year, to complete the trifecta.

Just assumed the pics related to Wanda. I recall the story as I used it in a St George Nostagia thread I created on a former forum.

I remember reading (I think in the book ‘Never before Never Again ’) that Kevin Ryan used to train there in a lead up to Saint’s Grand Finals. He believed he’d be initially tired, before timing his run to being as fit as a ‘mallee bull’ by Grand Final day…

Interesting that Dragons have given Volkman a confidential settlement. This could mean two things. They were forced into it and never want to see his face again OR goodwill gesture leading to his resigning?

They did for a bit under Steve Price and Andrew Gray is what I read back in early 2013. The Sharks have used the dunes as well at Wanda.

Apparently Campbell-Gillard has informed Eels that he's found a new club. It's either us or Cowboys unless Bulldogs have made a late play for him.

Secret settlement sets up Volkman’s NRL comeback after Dragons dispute

Ronald Volkman was at the centre of one of the most bizarre contract squabbles in NRL history. After nine months in limbo, the matter is settled.

From all reports RCG decision on his new club for 2025 will be announced prior to the end of this weekend.
