DRAGONS GET SERIOUS
St George Illawarra have upped the ante to keep one of their most talented junior stars in the Red V, offering backrower Luciano Leilua a two-year-deal.
Having lost the likes of Jack Bird and Jackson Hastings in recent years, the Dragons are desperate to hold onto the damaging big man.
After re-signing exciting 20s star Matt Dufty for another two years, the club now hopes to lock the 20-year-old younger brother of Canberra ace Joey Leilua up until the end of 2018.

Leilua, who has played two games in the NRL, is weighing up whether to accept the offer.
The 115kg backrower has also been linked with Canterbury after they expressed interest in the young gun prior to him making his NRL debut, however it’s understood they have not tabled a deal.
Bulldogs CEO Raelene Castle was asked last week via the club website’s
blogging with the boss page if they were chasing Leilua, to which she replied; “No, we aren’t.”
Leilua made his NRL debut in round 22 off the back of some devastating form in the Holden Cup.
