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

Think this is it now. Mark O'Neil has got to go. He cannot close a big name signing to save his life.
Couldn't land Galvin, could land Pezet.. for 1yr & now looks like he's missed out on Keon.
What are we doing? Where do we go now, we've got the cap space there but but we just simply cannot land or close a big signing.
Not worth the huge risk of 5 years considering he still has 2026 at Souths.
Whilst the dragons flew Keon to Wollongong in a first class helicopter, Mon ordered a Mazda 2 uber eats driver to lure him.to kellyville
Agreed Chief. Player development is a great approach, but we need signings sprinkled in to add the quality. At this point MON is setting Ryles up to fail.
I thought it was actually a Hyundai Getz rental car and Keon footed the bill
The guy is seriously shit and if the club doesn't punt his arse the fans should demand it...
What have we become? Instead of a destination club, we are the last cab off the rank. Disgraceful.
We are the Last Cab and the cool kids are using Uber
That is a giant deal, probably wise not to burn that much money on him 😂😂
I wanted Keon but it looks like dragons way overpaid for him. Regardless makes MON look awful as usual
He defs woulda been good but 5 years 5 mill for a forward yeah, that's going a bit overboard. Especially when our pack is already showing good signs with Moretti Tuaviti and those young guns
