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

No but I can promise you, he will be the first of a few others to jump to the dragons. Good players attract other good players. Shit players don't attract anything but flies.
Flanno may not be as good as Ryles but he understands what is required to win a premiership and he's going balls to the wall to make it happen.
They've already gone out and bought Gutho Val Cookie and now Keon on decent money. It takes more then just buying random players to build a culture. Their halves are Atkinson and Flanno and 35 year old Gutho is the fullback 😂 club is going nowhere
Haha true.. did you see how Gutherson got ran around easily in every game. Gutherson is a desperate buy and on close to a million.
Dragons are a basket case. Flanno is at desperation stakes to save himself. Almost got the spoon this season
That's exactly what it is, he's looking to buy any name value player he can and hope it turns the club around. But it takes alot more then that to change a club
Flannagan is overrated and too old school. He has some good coaching skills for sure but I reckon Ryles has a better method, style and approach. I don't KK will make that much of a difference at the Dragons. Apparently Souths aren't waiving the 10 day cooling off period so maybe he won't be going to the Dragons yet.
I think flanno is a pretty good coach but he basically needs an allstar team to get wins. Doesn't seem like he's a good development coach,
