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

  • We haven't and hardly ever have recruited top line players and the ones we have turn out to be dudes go back our history is littered with them the only time we have has success is with home grown talent we have no option ATM so just sit back and prey it comes good I can't see any other options 

  • If this is confirmed, then it is time to punt the  R&R team. They are bloody useless. Couldn't attract a blow fly to a rotting fish carcass!

  • So very predictable that there will always be an elite few who , will all of a sudden he now isn't worth it, always the case 

  • Gentlemen, Express your frustration and anger, but do not keep intimidating Eli or the minority who's views differ with yours. He's been called "an idiot" and part of the "problem", laughed at. If it continues, which amounts to harrassment, comments will be removed or further action taken without notice. The club's failure to secure this signing, is no excuse for poor conduct.

    • Doesn't bother me man all good 😂

    • Thankgod I'm Transgender

      • LOL, Fitz. I got a chuckly out of that one. Life was way simpler when I was a kid.

    • 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!!!!
