Broncos great Wendell Sailor has revealed the torment behind his son Tristan’s rape trial, before criticizing the St George Illawarra Dragons for their “disgusting” treatment of the fullback.
In 2020, New South Wales police charged the NRL’s young gun after a woman alleged she was so drunk she woke up naked with no memory of what happened after a night out in Sydney.
The soccer star was accused of having sex with the woman while she was unconscious or too drunk to give consent.

The alleged incident came just two weeks after the Dragons released Sailor, and his father, who also played for the club in the twilight of his career, felt his son had been unfairly released.
“Only his closest family understands what happened a few years ago,” Sailor said. news corporation.
‘At times I have shed tears over the journey he has been through.
“I told him, ‘Dude, don’t give up yet.'” I was disappointed here in Australia, but I knew he had unfinished business with the NRL.
‘I needed shelter. He needed to feel safe somewhere.
Wendell also accused the Dragons of “coldly going in a different direction” shortly after the youngster broke into the NRL starting team.
Tristan Sailor (pictured) was cleared two years later but was in sporting limbo after the Dragons released him in 2020 after declaring they were going “in a different direction”.
It was a strange move by Dragons management in the eyes of many football fans, with Tristan Sailor (pictured with his father) impressing after making his NRL debut in 2019.
“The way Tristan was treated at the Dragons was disgusting,” Sailor said. News Corporation.
‘To be honest, it wasn’t just Tristan who was treated badly.
“Other Dragons kids have been sacked… the culture of the club hasn’t been good since Wayne (Bennett, former coach) left.”
Two years later, Sailor was cleared of all charges and his dual-national father was impressed with the way Reece Walsh’s replacement at Red Hill quickly moved on with his life.
He signed with the Broncos’ feeder club, South Logan, and after excelling in the Queensland Cup, Kevin Walters offered him a training and trial contract.
Now at the Broncos, Sailor is reportedly in the sights of other NRL clubs after an impressive display in the last start against the Cowboys when he replaced the injured Reece Walsh.

‘Tristan got the deal with the Broncos on his own. “It wasn’t a case of a famous dad helping out,” said Sailor, who was a teammate of Walters at Brisbane in the late 1990s and 2000s.
‘Tristan has done a lot and I have never seen him happier in life than now with the Broncos.
“You can see that in his football… his football IQ is exceptional, it’s better than anything he’s ever had.”
