The Dragons are stepping up their pursuit of Wallabies star Jordan Petaia, with coach Shane Flanagan determined to bring the talented player on board despite interest from rival clubs.
Flanagan, known for his astute decision-making on the field, has made it clear that he has no intention of releasing rising star Zac Lomax this season.
Petaia, a versatile player who can slot into multiple positions with ease, is said to be weighing up his options in both rugby league and rugby union.
With 27 Tests under his belt and experience at the World Cup, Petaia would bring valuable skills and international pedigree to the Dragons lineup.
Meanwhile, Lomax's future at the club remains uncertain, with the $800,000 man reportedly seeking a fresh start after being shifted to the wing.
As the Dragons push forward in their pursuit of Petaia, all eyes are on Flanagan as he navigates the delicate balance of securing a new recruit while managing the expectations of his current squad.
