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
MORE TO COME

Probably do need to spend that on outside backs and a 5/8. Instead of Keon if the club is being realistic 😂
Well we have now focused on a 6 inside the club as apparent by Pezet giving them lessons and experience to develop despite his only 18 games himself, justifying the idiotic 1 year deal.
Plus Lomax was released happily due to him being on big money. So we are not signing overly quality backs and have none coming through at the moment.
LB look at Jim Sarantonis and the fact he has failed to turn Parramatta into a attractive destination and the fact in 6 years he has failed to attract business people who are willing and able to help the club with R&R .
I'd actually take Spags back right now. And that's saying something. I hate the dishonest crooked little slime ball.
Still drives with Number plates Eels....
Bring in Richardson
We wouldn't be able to land Richo , plus he's too alpha for our board and would eat them alive. Unfortunately they all think they're kicking goals anyways and would have no idea how shit they are performing from a football team side. They think they have the next Jack Gibson as the coach , and MON would be telling them this is our year and we have a great bunch of juniors so don't need these big name players he's missed anyway.
How embarrasing.... galvin, pezet and now keon fumbled.
The club is like a broken relationship trying to regather its past happy days.
Why would anyone be in the slight bit surprised with this.
This club only signs discards, rejects or players that no other club bar Parra are chasing.
And before others start saying he's overrated and overpriced, he might be but we have been outgunned by a club on the nose, a club destined to remain cellar dwellats for a few more years.
We need someone to replace JNR and I fear we will not secure anyone based on recent signing history.
We are putting too much faith into our jnrs. We will develop them on the cheap only for other clubs to take them away eventually. Guarantee it.
