St George Illawarra’s star back-rower Tyson Frizell has again been forced to defend his future at the club after reports surfaced — for the second time in recent months — that he wanted out of the Dragons.
Frizell quashed suggestions this week that he wanted to move on from the Dragons immediately, despite having a year to run on his deal.
This time the representative forward was linked to a potential move to Parramatta.
But Frizell reinforced his commitment to the Red V despite their disastrous 2019.
“I am not looking to get out of my contract at all nor am I unhappy at the club,” Frizell said.
“I have no idea where these rumours come from.”
Frizell extended his stay at the Dragons until next year in 2016. And next year he is on a significant monetary whack.
Frizell has had preliminary discussions with the Dragons about staying beyond next year.
Part of those talks have included Frizell’s management getting a gauge about their client’s potential worth on the open market — which is potentially why news of Frizell wanting out has surfaced.
Frizell was on hand to watch the Dragons’ Canterbury Cup side play at Kogarah Oval on Sunday and was around the club again earlier this week. No one at the Dragons has any indication that Frizell wants out.
Complicating the chances of an early extension is that the Dragons are unsure how much cap space they will have until Jack de Belin’s future is sorted out. De Belin, who will know before round one if he will play again, is also off-contact at the end of next season.
