In a significant reshuffling of the roster, the St George Illawarra Dragons are set to part ways with numerous players as they head into the 2027 season.
The club has made bold moves in recruitment, signing six notable players as part of a comprehensive overhaul.
Confirmed departures include Damien Cook, Mathew Feagai, Emre Guler, Blake Lawrie, Nathan Lawson, Luciano Leilua, Tyrell Sloan, Hame Sele, and Jaydn Su'A, who will be joined by Christian Tuipulotu.
Young players Jasais Ah Kee and Asher Chapman will also be leaving for the Perth Bears; however, they were not part of this season's Top 30 roster.
Tyrell Sloan's future is still a topic of speculation, though he has agreed to join Castleford, alongside Cook and Feagai, who have also signed with the Tigers.
Luciano Leilua is moving to the Super League to play for the Catalans Dragons, amid a competition for positions with younger players in the Dragons' lineup.
Blake Lawrie, who scored a try in his last match, has not finalized his next move but is rumored to be headed to England.
Emre Guler has already transitioned to the Super League, having left mid-season, while Nathan Lawson will return to rugby union.
The only released player with a confirmed NRL contract for next year is Jaydn Su'A, who has taken a spot with the Parramatta Eels.
Christian Tuipulotu and Hame Sele both face uncertain futures, as they will not remain with the Dragons.
Leeroy Weatherall currently stands as the sole player without a contract for 2027, while Moses Suli's potential exit from the club is still in discussions.
