Dragons coach Anthony Griffin has made it clear that Matt Dufty isn’t part of the club’s plans moving forward.
But it seems the players are keen for him to stay on after he produced his finest 80 minutes in a Red V jersey to lead his side to a 52-24 win over the Broncos on Thursday.
The livewire fullback set up five tries and scored two of his own in his first game back from a shoulder injury to inject life into St George Illawarra’s sputtering season.

St George Illawarra star Jack Bird has no desire to remain in the back row even though his coach described Thursdayâs baptism of fire against the Broncos as âbrilliantâ.
The 26-year-old scored a try and set up another with a silky offload on the edge in the space of eight minutes as the Dragons ran out big winners over his former club, the Broncos.
Bird combined well with Matt Dufty, Ben Hunt and Corey Norman as the Red V finally found some spark in attack, but the former Blues representative could be moved straight back to the centres for the Queenâs Birthday clash with Canterbury.
