With an as yet unknown new head coach due to arrive at the club for the 2027 season, perhaps some players who have set up home in the Illawarra and surrounding areas may be changing clubs and snapping up properties elsewhere?

Forward Jaydn Su'A has already made a call on his future and will play elsewhere next season.

In the meantime, we've looked at the property portfolios of some of the club's key players.

The Dragons' co-captain, currently injured, has kicked goals in the property world.

In 2025, the former Parramatta and Manly player and his partner Jesse Arena spent $2.3 million on a recently-built duplex in Woonona.

Cotality records show that in 2018, 'King Gutho' snapped up a three-bedroom home at Collaroy Plateau for $1.255 million.

Records also show that he lodged a development application for an extension/alteration with a build value of $129,494 in 2020.

In 2019, Gutherson spent $1,875,500 on a renovation project in Collaroy Plateau, about a kilometre back from the beach.

Records indicate Gutherson still owns both homes, while he has also bought and sold other properties.

In 2021, he scored a tidy profit on a Collaroy investment unit.

The property was sold for $1.53 million, having been bought for $1.2 million in 2018.

Records also suggest Gutherson bought a two-bedroom unit at Collaroy in 2014 for $600,000, which was later sold in 2018 for $770,000.

Damien Cook

Helensburgh Tigers junior Cook made his NRL debut for the Dragons in 2013, playing two NRL games.

The hooker has since represented NSW and Australia, and after an extended stint at Souths is now a Dragons co-captain.

In 2019, Cook and wife Courtney snapped up an original home at Woolooware in the Sutherland Shire.

Cotality records show they bought the four-bedroom home for $1.5 million, the first time the property had changed hands since 1986.

Valentine Holmes

Dragons centre Valentine Holmes and wife Natalia recently purchased a home in his former club's heartland.

Cotality records show the Queensland and Australian representative snapped up a $2.7 million home in Caringbah South.

Holmes won an NRL premiership with the Cronulla Sharks in 2016, before later joining the North Queensland Cowboys.

Utility back Holmes joined the Sharks' traditional arch-rivals the Dragons in 2025.

The Holmes' new purchase is a four-bedroom home that contains luxurious finishes, open-plan living and an alfresco area with a large pool.

Meanwhile, the Holmes' listed their North Ward, Queensland home a year after relocating to Sydney.

The home features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and parking for three cars.

'David House' sits on a 1518 square metre block and features a wraparound verandah, timber floors and high ceilings.

The property has an asking price of offers over $1.998 million.

Valentine and First Base gym co-owner Natalia bought the home in 2023 for $1.405 million.

The couple rented out the home after Valentine inked a three-year deal with the Dragons.

Meanwhile, the couple's 1930s Melton Hill home was initially listed for offers over $1.3 million.

However, the home sold in June 2023 for $1.15 million.

The three-bedroom house sits on 910 square metres and had been renovated.

Cotality records show the Holmes' had bought the home in 2019 for $1.1 million.

Holmes also bought an investment property, a two-bedroom apartment in the Woolooware Bay precinct, amid the 700 apartments developed around Shark Park.

Holmes' apartment cost $810,000 when completed in 2016.

Cotality records indicate Holmes still owns the apartment, which was most recently listed for rent at $650 a week.

It also features a large alfresco entertaining area overlooking the swimming pool.
