Summary:
Jack de Belin, the Dragons' longest-serving current player, is set to leave the club at the end of the 2025 season to join the Parramatta Eels. The 34-year-old has agreed to a deal for 2026, with Parramatta holding an option for 2027. The contract is currently in the NRL’s 10-day cooling-off period.
De Belin, who has played 242 games, was close to becoming the most-capped Dragon in history. Despite being in talks for another contract extension, he will now reunite with former teammate Zac Lomax at the Eels. A mid-season switch before June 30 is unlikely due to the Dragons’ lack of forward depth.
A consistent performer, De Belin played every game last season and has not missed one this year. He is the last Dragons player remaining from the Wayne Bennett era.
His departure comes amid a broader roster overhaul at the Dragons. Tyrell Sloan, Blake Lawrie, and Mikaele Ravalawa may also leave, while several forwards, including David Klemmer and Michael Molo, are off-contract.

His Newcastle contract?? Fletcher sharp may never play again. Apparently ponga is on the move. Not a good place to go.
He was out being a dickhead, but not a criminal dickhead......the rape was a stitch up
Tell that to his pregnant misses waiting at home. That part is the crime for me.
I didn't say he was being a classy dickhead, it was disgraceful behavior and should be reviled.
Is she still with him?
Fair enough. And agreed.
No idea if she is, but wouldn't think so.
For all we know she's cheated on him 100 times and they have an arrangement. Either way , cheating not a crime . Maybe she told him to go out and get laid , she was heavily pregnant and might've decided that was a better option for her.
Who fuckimg knows , he should never have been on trial in the first place. Every cunt loves Ryles , anyone wanna know what he was like at the same age ?
Carlo, it was proven that both her and the police lied. He did not a single thing wrong legally. Two cops were sacked and admitted that this grub and her girlfriend had totally conflicting stories in which they coaxhed them to align.
The only victims in the whole case were De Belin for losing the peak of career and his reputation , and his mrs who he'd cheated on that night by copping a blowy . Then you have the other poor bastard player who wasn't a star so The Dragons punted him and his career ended. I am told he's going through proceedings suing The Dragons and attempted to sue her.
It was a absolute disgrace what De Belin and that other young player went through, corrupt police and a lying little tart tried to ruin two innocent men's life .
I do not like it really, he's very old and just not good vibes. Not sure why we need him either.
I think what it might mean is that a couple of our younger forwards might be leaving. I'm thinking the likes of Brock Parker, Greig obviously not gonna be renewed, maybe even Pryke (eventhough I still like him), so another mobile middle is needed and they wanted a stop gap there, as they don't like the likes of Kalache from Ron Massey, understandably.
I've relaxed about it now. 1 year deal only, and I doubt he'd be in the 17 every week. Still would've preferred if not.
