Dragons Recruit Matthews And Latimore For 2012



5/07/2011 11:51:19 AM


The St George Illawarra Dragons announced on Wednesday that forwards Will Matthews and Jeremy Latimore have both agreed to join the Club from next season.
Matthews, 23, is currently contracted with the Gold Coast Titans and has agreed to join the Dragons on a two-year contract that will see him remain at the Club until at least the end of 2013.
The versatile former Kyogle junior can play in both the front and back row and made his NRL debut against the Dragons in Round 16 of the 2008 season.
Additionally, Latimore, 24, has agreed to a one-year contract that will see the prop join the Club for one season, at least until the end of 2012.

Matthews and Latimore will join the Dragons in November

Got any more info on the guy Roboshark? We are losing more than Bennett next year - the whole entourage that goes with him (Hickman etc) will be sorely missed.

ST George Illawarra Dragons will use the bye week off to re-sign players for next season and beyond, under new coach Steve Price.
Having lost Jon Green, Adam Cuthbertson, Michael Greenfield and outstanding utility player Alex McKinnon after this season, Price and his team moved to sign heavyweight forwards Will Matthews and Jeremy Latimore this week.
Latimore, the Port Macquarie junior who started in the Sharks lower grades before joining the Eels, has been playing with the New Zealand Warriors the past two seasons, tallying 31 NRL games.
Matthews, 23, is contracted with the Gold Coast Titans but has agreed to join the Dragons on a two-year contract that will see him remain at the club until at least the end of 2013.
The versatile former Kyogle junior can play in the front and back row and made his NRL debut against the Dragons in round 16 of the 2008 season.
Matthews and Latimore will join the Dragons in November after premiership-winning coach Wayne Bennett has moved on to Newcastle.

Greenfield extended his deal. Nothing has been announced about McKinnon or Cuthbertson. They got someone on work experience writing there?

ADAM CUTHBERTSON could become the latest Dragon to follow coach Wayne Bennett to Newcastle.
The Sun-Herald can reveal that the ball-playing forward is likely to leave St George Illawarra after a deadline to re-sign with the premiers lapsed last Tuesday.
After helping to resurrect his career, Bennett is keen to take Cuthbertson with him next season. Another NRL club has also expressed interest in his services.

Cuthbertson's career is in limbo after he missed the Dragons' deadline, while the Knights are reviewing their salary cap situation before tabling an official offer.
In a sign the Dragons may have moved on, the club announced the signings of forwards Will Matthews and Jeremy Latimore from the Titans and Warriors respectively.
''Newcastle and a third club came in but they still haven't formulated that offer,'' Cuthbertson's manager, Andrew Purcell, said.
''He didn't want to make a decision until he had everything in front of him and we're expecting that will be finalised in the next couple of days.
''Cuthbo has great respect for Wayne but he doesn't want to be bouncing around from club to club.
''He's really enjoyed his time at the Dragons. Wayne took him there and has been the catalyst for the turnaround but he also likes living and playing there. He has a great deal of respect for the Dragons.''

Well this is bad news! I was just saying in another thread that I thought he'd go. I can't really understand why we would move on..? He has far more potential than a couple or our current squad. I feel cuthbo will be crucial to our chances this year... And next.

I guess not all is lost... He obviously likes the dragons. but it's not looking good.

Just confirming 2 extensions that were well known & passing on another good prospect from Toyota Cup staying for 3 more years :

Bronx Goodwin & Mitch Rein until the end of 2013 & Jack Stockwell until the end of 2014

The St George Illawarra Dragons have announced Wednesday that Mitch Rein and Bronx Goodwin have both agreed to two-year contract extensions that will see each remain at the Club until at least the end of the 2013 season.
Rein, 21, made his first-grade debut for the Dragons in the opening Round of the season against the Gold Coast Titans and has since played 8 NRL games to date.
The Kiama Knights junior was previously an integral part of the Dragons Toyota Cup team and played in the National Youth Competition between 2009 and 2010.
Goodwin, 26, joined the Club in 2010 from the Cronulla Sharks and made his Dragons debut this season in Round 9 against the North Queensland Cowboys.
The South Perth junior began his career with the Canberra Raiders in 2007 before joining the Sharks in 2009 and has played 28 NRL games in total to date.
Dragons CEO Peter Doust is pleased with the re-signing of both players and believes the pair will continue to prove valuable contributors to the overall squad.
“I am happy that both Mitch and Bronx have decided to re-sign for a further two years with the Club after making their respective Dragons debuts this season,” said Doust.
“Both players will form an important part of our squad under Steve Price moving forward.”
Jack Stockwell, 19, has also agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension that will see the current Dragons’ Toyota Cup front-rower remain at the Club until at least the end of the 2014 season.
