Matt Dufty will feature in The Knock-On Effect NSW Cup this season with the former St George Illawarra Dragons and Warrington Wolves fullback returning to Australia to play for the South Sydney Rabbitohs.<\/p>\n
The Rabbitohs have announced their NSW Cup pre-season squad which includes Dufty, who proved to be handful for opposition defences during his previous stints at the Dragons (2017-21) and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs (2022).<\/p>\n
He scored 44 tries for the Dragons, with arguably his best effort coming in an Anzac Day game against the Sydney Roosters at the SCG in 2019 where he stated a run from 35 metres out and mesmerised the defence on his way to the line.<\/p>\n
Dufty, who began to rise through the NSWRL system before making his NRL debut with the Dragons, enjoyed a strong professional career highlighted by his speed, support plays and try-scoring abilities from the back.<\/p>\n
He was granted an early release from the Bulldogs in 2022 to take up an offer from Warrington where he scored 47 tries from 88 games.<\/p>\n
His signing is a significant coup for The Knock-On Effect NSW Cup, reinforcing the competition\u2019s reputation as a breeding ground for rising talent and a valuable pathway for established players looking to compete at the highest level and earn a NRL return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matt Dufty will feature in The Knock-On Effect NSW Cup this season with the former St George Illawarra…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":423074,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-425951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=425951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/423074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=425951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=425951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=425951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
