Dragons aim to sign Warriors dummy-half Samuel Healey this offseason

St George Illawarra Dragons are set to pursue Samuel Healey, a dummy-half for the New Zealand Warriors, who has been given permission to explore his options. The Warriors prioritize Wayde Egan for contract extension and informed Healey he will not be re-signed for 2028, making him available. Healey has been with the Warriors since 2024, having previously played for the Cronulla Sharks, and has made 29 appearances since 2025. The Dragons are looking for a backup hooker after losing Damien Cook to the Castleford Tigers and are also interested in Dolphins center Jack Bostock, available from November 1. Dean Young is the new head coach following Shane Flanagan's resignation and aims to rebuild the squad during the upcoming free agency period.
