Coach Woolf calls Stone one of NRL's toughest players — ABC News Australia
In Australia, 29-year-old Dolphins player Ray Stone will end his NRL career after the 2026 season. The match against the Sydney Roosters in the preliminary final could be his last if the Dolphins do not reach the season's deciding match.
Dolphins coach Kristian Woolf called Stone one of the league's toughest players. As ABC News Australia reports, last season the forward played the final six rounds with a broken arm and took the field in the final 15 rounds after receiving injections in both shoulders. After the season ended, he underwent shoulder surgery.
Woolf said that what he values most is not only Stone's physical toughness, but also his commitment to the team. According to the coach, the player does not want to let his teammates down: he puts in effort when chasing an opponent after a kick, making tackles and carrying the ball into contact.
