St. George Illawarra Dragons secure Keaon Koloamatangi on long-term deal

Posted by ParramattaLurker on December 26, 2025 at 3:54pm

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

Phew, who cares? I feel sorry for the Dragons paying all those overs.

I'm always pleased when other clubs are making monster deals.

I'd try get Xavier Willison, 3 years, 800k, get him to leave Broncos a year early.

Also the two Laulilii brothers, one is a prop.

Or Shawn Blore, push Jack Williams into the middle.
