The Dragons’ Head Coach Shane Flanagan has declared the end of Cody Ramsey’s harrowing battle with ulcerative colitis, announcing that the star fullback is ready to make his NRL return. After months of surgeries, grueling recovery, and defying medical expectations, Ramsey has proven that his setbacks are well and truly behind him.
“Yes, the setbacks are dead,” Flanagan confidently stated this week. “Cody is ready, and he’s determined to show the world what he’s capable of. This is just the beginning of something special.”
Ramsey’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. From being told his football career was over to enduring seven months confined to a hospital bed, he has faced challenges few could imagine. His weight plummeted from 90 kilograms to just 62, and multiple life-threatening complications kept his recovery in doubt. Yet, Ramsey never gave up.
“It’s been a tough road, but Cody’s resilience and determination have been inspirational,” Flanagan added. “He’s been working hard, and his progress has been remarkable. We’re not just watching him recover; we’re watching him rise.”
Ramsey recently returned to training with his Dragons teammates, marking a major milestone in his comeback journey. Despite being out of action for over a year, he’s already showing signs of his former brilliance, taking on defensive challenges and reclaiming his position with confidence.
The Dragons’ preparations for the upcoming season are in full swing, and Ramsey’s story is energizing the entire squad. “We’ll keep improving, not just as individuals but as a team,” Flanagan said. “Cody’s determination is infectious, and it’s pushing everyone to step up.”
For Ramsey, this isn’t just about getting back on the field—it’s about overcoming the odds and inspiring others. His battle with ulcerative colitis has given him a new perspective on life and the game. “What’s worse out there on the field than what I’ve been through in the past two years?” Ramsey recently said. “I’m ready to get on with life and make my mark again.”
As the Dragons prepare for the season, all eyes will be on Ramsey and his incredible comeback. From fans to teammates, everyone is eager to see him take the field again. Shane Flanagan’s confidence in his recovery underscores the belief that Ramsey is poised for a triumphant return.
The setbacks are dead, and Cody Ramsey is ready to rise again. Stay tuned his next chapter promises to be unforgettable.
