St George Illawarra have landed a huge recruitment scalp by securing Australian star Keaon Koloamatangi to a long term near $5 million deal.

It is understood that Koloamatangi has told the Dragons he will join the club from 2027 on a five year deal. The contract is now in the cooling off period.

It is a clear circuit breaker for the Dragons who were in the market for a marquee player.

Koloamatangi’s current club South Sydney wanted to secure him as did Parramatta.

The Dragons though look set to land the prized recruit after gazumping the Eels and Rabbitohs with a monster five year deal

      • Oh I already know the answer Frank, I just want the hardcore supporters to realise it.

  • We might as well just ask Lomax to come back to this shit club, hell we probably couldn't even land him again, our team is not good at all we might be fighting out of the wooden spoon again even knights were able get sign Brown, Sandon and Trey Mooney after coming last, we can't sign shit

    • Biggest signing for the eels will be keeping Moses on the field for 20+ games. That'll be better then anyone they can sign 

    • In the future I wouldn't be surprised if Moses asks for a release from his contract because of this shit managed club, and I wouldn't blame him, he wants to win. Hell we might lose Moses to the dragons. Why on earth did we release Lomax when a week later that shit R360 got delayed 

      • Why they finished the season strongly 😂 I do think Ryles has a lot of say in our recruitment to. Same as Galvin he's not going to increase his offer. If the player wants more money to join then Ryles isn't going to budge 

      • Obviously he is not an attractive enough to attract other players along with Ryles

      • Cause Ryles didn't want that money on a winger and also wanted players who were all in. 

        • Ryles isn't desperate yet, wait until we fail again and he's heading into year 3. He might start sweating a bit more then and loosen the purse strings.

    • R&R prob extend Matto

    • Lomax will never come back to Parramatta
