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

The way the game is going with speed and mobility Jack Williams and Hopgood might be the best front rowers we have
I think J'maine is going back to the 13 starting role and Jack De Belin would be starting at other prop with Junior.
If Matterson can actually focus for 2026 he should be pretty effective as a middle as well. Hes got the frame and speed
Thank God for that. Not worth a mil. Souths also lost out with a similar offer to ours, is that a bad reflection on Bennett.
We should also get rid of MON and bring on Shane Richardson as our GM he has a long history of bringing big name players to lesser clubs like Greg Inglis, Jarome Luai, May brothers, etc.
Wayne would never pay 1 million for a middle, never seen it
I don't think they actually had the money. If they did not sure how.
He aint a million dollar player dodged a bullet
Yep. Maybe he's worth close to a million at for a year or two at St George, but 5 years is just a dumb situation
People who don't understand that, its actually simple math. Most props don't represent post 29 or 30 yo
Saints just throwing things at a wall, they have no direction old gutho and cookie prob done by then as well. It's just a money grab from Keon and best of luck to him lol
