Dragons youngster a class act
A good news story from one of the Dragons' young guns this week, who donated his prizemoney won from the NSWRL Harold Matthews Cup relay on NRL Grand Final day to the Sydney Children's Hospital.
"People often think rugby league players are tough," SG Ball player Dean Xenos said. "These kids are way tougher than me, and if this donation helps them in any way that makes me really happy."
What better way to start the day than with a #redv story about one selfless player's kindness! http://t.co/OhEe5QUjf6 pic.twitter.com/1oMU4zK6K9
