'Big money': Dud contract exposed as cleanout hits road block

The Dragons are set for a cleanout following their disappointing exit from the finals race, with cult hero winger Mikaele Ravalawa already shopped around to rival clubs. The Fijian flyer was the Dragons' pin-up boy last season, scoring a record equalling 20 tries - a remarkable feat in a team that struggled to score points all year. But the 26-year-old Ravalawa has not been the same player in 2024, struggling with a knee injury and being dropped from the team mid-season. Ravalawa has scored just three tries in 12 games in the NRL and was recently suspended for abusing a touch judge in the NSW Cup. In the must win game against the Eels last weekend, the burly winger had a shocker. An official from a rival club confirmed he had been offered Ravalawa - who has two years to run on his contract - for 2025. "The Dragons are shopping him around but he is a winger on big money who is struggling for form," the official told Wide World of Sports. "I don't fancy their chances of finding a buyer." Several other Dragons are likely to be also moved on or given the option to explore the market in coming weeks.
