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

      • Randy, I’m not sure “just talking” and “asking questions” applies to everyone on the bus. Most, yes. But for some, this has become a poo-bombing habit over years, decades even. They don’t want to talk they want to throw the conductors and drivers out and burn the bus down. What replaces it, specifically? Mostly good intentions and slogans about “High Standards".

  • How and why would he go to the Dragons over us we must suck

    • Because of money 💰 longer deal, and he can probably get away with things 

      • Yep, the Dragons do suck. They've made the finals once in ten years. But Koloamatangi doesn't care about that, he is a professional, meaning he is motivated by money. Dragons made the biggest offer. That's why he's going there.

        • Exactly. Cant see his inclusion in the Dragons team making them a premiership winning team 

          • Which is great he didn't go to a team like dogs or roosters. He will be completely irrelevant at saints and we don't have to worry about him 😂😂

            • Highly overrated in my opinion
