The Dragons coaching staff have used the pre-season period to recognise the squads 'Most Valuable Player' MVP.

Each week the squads best trainer has been awarded for his efforts with a bundle of training clothing supplied by key partners My Protein.

Winners include Lucas Albert, Benjamin Jullien, Jullian Bousquet, Arthur Mourgue and Micky McIlorum.

Head of Performance Richard Hunwicks commented ' although the expectations and standards are high throughout the year the coaching staff have been watching closely for special efforts and players going above and beyond day to day. The response from the boys has been great with them embracing individual challenges and improving each other as a result. It was difficult at times to pick an 'MVP' as the full group have been very committed to this point. In additions to the weekly winners, special mentions should go to Josh Drinkwater and James Maloney who have not missed a session and been outstanding in their professionalism since their arrival.'

The players will now start to prepare for the season and strive to improve week to week under the guidance of Steve McNamara and the coaching team.

The team will continue to work with My Protein over the 2020 season using the products to support healthy living and recovery from the demands of Super League Rugby.
