Heard on the news a few minutes ago that St George are looking into it asking the players if they had one stolen etc.
AN anonymous member of the Dragons' 2010 grand final squad is believed to have tried to sell his premiership ring online for $15,000.
Rugby league circles were abuzz yesterday - and the St George Illawarra club baffled - with the precious ring given to grand final-winning players up for auction on eBay. It prompted Dragons officials to contact players to check if their rings had been stolen.
There was a bizarre twist last night when the item was unlisted and the online seller responded to emails from The Daily Telegraph.
"I was selling it for a player who didn't want it known who he was," the eBay seller said.
"He has decided after you contacting me to end the sale and keep the ring to avoid any negative publicity for himself or his family."
While there was speculation about the authenticity of the item, the seller had a strong rating with previous sales.
Each year, Sydney jeweller Zed'n'Zed strikes 20 rings for the NRL, with 17 handed to the players who take the field and three given to the coach, chairman and chief executive. But more can be made at the expense of the club. In 2010, then-coach Wayne Bennett insisted more were made for backroom staff and those players who did not play in the grand final but who had contributed to the season.
The Dragons beat the Roosters 32-8 in the 2010 grand final, ending a 31-year hoodoo.
Several players privately expressed anger that someone would try to sell the ring, which is valued at about $6000.
"I was very surprised to find a Dragons 2010 premiership ring is for sale on eBay," Dragons chief executive Peter Doust said.
"Given everything it takes to win a premiership I find it hard to believe that someone would want to sell one and we would therefore question the authenticity of the ring that was for sale on eBay.
"We have certainly put the word out to see if anyone has had theirs stolen but we have players away on holidays and others who are no longer at our club so we are not exactly sure at this point in time."
Zed'n'Zed owner Allan Zreick said: "I think $15,000 is too much for it. They have a value of about $6000. Every year, winning teams order more and I remember the Dragons ordered quite a lot the year they won."

I am surprised they would have a problem with a player legitimately selling the ring. The player/official is free to sell it if they want to. Dean Young sold one of his Grand Final boots (for $4k) to raise money for a sick friend, but if he wanted to sell it just for some extra cash why shouldn't he?

its his ring. let him do what he wants with it? the seller says whoever bought wouldve met the player, so i doubt it wouldve remained a secret as to whos it was for long anyway...
i remember seeing a nba ring being pawned not long ago. superbowl rings have been sold. even gold medals. not really anyones business why people decide to sell stuff.
