Overview
- Reports say the 27-year-old has told the Rabbitohs he intends to join St George Illawarra from 2027 on a deal worth about $5 million through 2031.
- The agreement has entered the NRL’s mandatory 10-day cooling-off period, allowing a change of mind or a final retention bid by South Sydney.
- Parramatta pursued Koloamatangi strongly, while the Rabbitohs offered a four-year extension worth around $1 million per season.
- The Dragons’ recruitment push featured a helicopter tour to Wollongong and a showcase of new facilities as part of their pitch under coach Shane Flanagan.
- If finalised, the signing would give the Dragons a marquee middle forward and could leave Souths’ middle rotation thin beyond 2027.
