 Cody Ramsey hails from the place of many rocks. Or says a road sign welcoming visitors to his little bush town of Molong - population 1674 - where this rising St George Illawarra rookie, every few weeks, disappears to fish, hunt pigs, even pour schooners at the Freemasons Hotel, run by mum Kim and stepdad Dave. Whenever time allows it, you can find Ramsey here. Continually called back to this village which, 30km north of Orange, and built on a limestone outcrop, derives its unique, if slightly uninspiring name from the local Wiradjuri people. And you can Google it, Ramsey says of the bizarre handle.
