ST. GEORGE-ILLAWARRA DRAGONS​

Off contract 2026:​

  • Damien Cook: Will retire
  • Mathew Feagai: I hope he improves a lot this year and earns an extension.
  • Lachlan Ilias: Good luck. Kade Reed is going to knocking on the door.
  • Blake Lawrie: ESL
  • Luciano Leilua: I think he's good but so many young forwards coming through.....
  • Jacob Liddle: Re-sign.
  • Francis Molo: Spend his last year or 2 as a player in the ESL.
  • Loko Pasifiki Tonga: Priority re-signing.
  • Mikaele Ravalawa: Bye
  • Hame Sele: Hope he comes back strong this year and earns an extension. If Molo and Lawrie are both gone, there'll be an opportunity.
  • Tyrell Sloan: Hope he becomes a good winger this year.
  • Jaydn Su’A: Same for Luciano but Su'A is a bit younger and a bit better. Think he'll be kept.

Payne Haas is going to be a free agent from November 1 this year. Just sayin.

  • Jaydn Su’A’s contract extension was announced as a two-year deal starting from this year. He does however have an option in his favour to remain at the Dragons in 2027. Jacob Liddle has a mutual option which means the Dragons can take it up at a certain amount and if they do not he can take it up at a lesser amount a week later.
Finally I understand mutual options. If both sides have an option, why wouldn't it be the same as no option? I understand it now. Each option is for different money.

Dylan Brown open to offers. Might have been a good replacement for Hunt but now with Ilias and Atkinson along with Reed and KT, don't need any halves.
