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

        • What a dumb statement. What's the point of Tino if you believe nobody wants to stay?

          To convince Tino you would need up to nearly $2mil. For a middle that is too much. You won't be able to extend or sign anybody else.

          • Maybe have a little faith in the ass holes that run the club

          • I don't know man, we are in the darkest times of the club where we have to use no names. Pezet, Galvin, Keaon, etc. We missed out on every top player. Who else we miss out on god dam kelly, because as this point don't be suprised if you see kelly sign somewhere else.

            • Seriously you're worrying about nothing. It will be ok. Take a chill pill.
