Representative forward Jaydn Su’A will remain with the Dragons after inking a new deal with the club.
Su’A signed a two-year extension that locks him down to the end of the 2026 season.
The 26-year-old joined St George Illawarra in 2022 after stints at the Broncos and Rabbitohs.
“Jaydn’s performances this year have shown how important he is to this club and how determined he is to perform for the Dragons,” St George Illawarra coach Shane Flanagan said.
“He is just coming in to his best football and we see him as a vital part of our forward pack over the coming years.”
Su’A’s new deal comes days after it was announced fellow Queensland Origin representative David Fifita will remain with the Titans beyond 2024 after agreeing to take up his player option with the club for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
Fifita had informed the Titans last week that he wouldn’t be taking up the option to extend his stay on the Gold Coast – agreeing to a long-term deal to join the Roosters from the start of 2025.
According to a Roosters statement, however, “despite his management making the initial approach the Roosters and Fifita personally informing the chairman and head coach of his intent to join the club, Fifita has since expressed doubt.”
That led to the Tricolours pulling their offer to the forward, “with the view that it is in the Roosters’ best interest.”
“I’m extremely grateful for the time and interest shown in me over the past two weeks, but upon further reflection, I have made the decision that I want to remain a Titan beyond 2024,” Fifita said in a Titans statement.
“I’m excited about the direction the team is taking and being close to home, and my family has been central to helping me make this decision.”
