It's reported that the
coach Paul McGregor and his team are looking closely at Packer's progress, following the example the Roosters took when they brought in Blake Ferguson back in November, training with the club before being officially allowed to play again.
Fox Sports reports that the Dragons will be looking to put some behavioural clauses in his contract to make sure he stays on the right path.
The team was in contact with him while he was in jail with officials going to visit him discussing a potential three-year contract.
"Do I like Russell Packer as a player? Absolutely," Dragons coach Paul McGregor said back in November.
"Do I think first offence, 12 month jail sentence for an assault is sufficient sentence, yes."
