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

    • Yet the likes of POPPA. can spew whatever he likes because he's been on here for a century, not very good policing, I don't think Eli should be too hurt once again my for mentioned comments!!!!

      • This...

      • That's very hurtful GM ........do you not know I am a chronic "spewer" I honestly can't help it.....the "head" doctor thinks is being exposed to dumbasses and red necks........any ideas how this happens?

      • GM, you have a crack at Poppa every chance you get but now you squeal to authority? You say what you like then bleat about the unfairness of it all? Have your comments been deleted? Do you want him cancelled?  I get that you have a hard-on for the old fella but this crying and whining is unbecoming.

        Treat Poppa like Poppa. Treat Eli like Eli. They behave differently. Neither sooks like you

         

  • Am I too late for the " he's shit anyways "  comments ?.    

     

    MON must've forgot to take him on a weekend trip to the famous Kellyville and show him around the new irresistible headquarters.  Like it's not as if the kid will be able to swim so why would he choose a dive like The Gong over some prime swampland filled up with asbestos and slag out in far Western Sydney.  

    But in all seriousness , there can't seriously be one single MON supporter anywhere on this site. So why can't the club see it ?  The next election campaign would have to have his axing as a point of someone's promises if they're elected. 

    • We have no election campaign wiz , the people who run the clun don't really have to answer to nobody , they don't have to  fear the members because they have no say and people who are in charge of monitoring the board clearly have zero standards or care because we have nobody at the club who can help the Parramatta cause.

    • Issue is knowing the club they would sack MON and promote Ben Rogers as GM.

  • So what now? Who would we go after now and then miss out on them? What is this clubs priority? 

    • Unsure but will have no effect on the 2026 season, opportunities will come up no doubt
