Anthony “The Man” Mundine has made some big calls throughout his long and established career in Rugby League and boxing, but one comment made in April evoked a range of opinion from fans far and wide.

The former centre and five-eighth, now 41, was eager to get back onto a Rugby League field once his boxing career winds up, should his fitness and other circumstances allow.

“It’s got to be the Dragons,” Mundine said simply.
