Addin Fonua-Blake<\/a> has reportedly been offered a four-year, $4.5 million deal to join St George-Illawarra<\/a> from 2025.<\/p>\n

Along with\ufeff the Tigers, Dragons and Bulldogs, the Sharks are also seriously considering an approach to Fonua-Blake, who is looking to leave the Warriors in a bid to return to Sydney.<\/p>\n

It's understood Cronulla has not yet made a formal approach, but if they're going to, they'll have to dedicate a sizeable chunk of their salary cap to the star prop.<\/p>\n

According to \ufeffThe Sydney Morning Herald<\/a>, Dragons coach Shane Flanagan is desperate to add some star power to his roster and sees the Fonua-Blake situation as an opportunity to capitalise.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Flanagan has already added some depth to his backline by signing former Queensland Origin player Corey Allan for the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

Allan will join the Dragons for preseason training after he was left without a contract, after his deal with the Sydney Roosters expired at the end of 2023.<\/p>\n

It's understood the Tigers have also made a similar offer to Fonua-Blake, with the club looking to also fit\ufeff Penrith five-eighth Jarome Luai on a deal worth over $1million per season.<\/p>\n

Luai is still considering his future as he considers big money deals at the Tigers or Bulldogs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
