The St George Illawarra Dragons have secured Gold Coast flyer Phillip Sami on a deal which will deliver him to the club in 2027.<\/p>\n
The deal will see the former State of Origin representative join the club until at least the end of 2029.<\/p>\n
The Ipswich native has made 149 appearances for the Titans since his debut in 2017 scoring 74 tries.<\/p>\n
He was also a member of Queensland\u2019s State of Origin winning squad in 2020.<\/p>\n
Sami joins Keaon Koloamatangi and Scott Drinkwater on the club\u2019s list of recruits for next season as the squad continues to build.<\/p>\n
\u201cPhil has been a really quality player in the NRL for a number of years now,\u201d Dragons CEO Tim Watsford said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s fast, strong, athletic and a real handful for opposition teams out of yardage. We\u2019ve identified him as a player who can add something to our backline, and we\u2019re excited to welcome him to the club in 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The St George Illawarra Dragons have secured Gold Coast flyer Phillip Sami on a deal which will deliver…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":631138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-631137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=631137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/631138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=631137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=631137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=631137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
