The Dragons plan to release a star player early to pursue a big-name rival.

The Dragons are reportedly open to allowing winger Mikaele Ravalawa to leave the club at the end of the season to pursue Knights star Daniel Saifiti.

Although Ravalawa is contracted until 2026, he has struggled to secure his spot this season under coach Shane Flanagan, who prioritizes defense—a weakness that has been evident in Ravalawa’s play this year.

Ravalawa, who joined the NRL in 2019 and was the Dragons’ top try-scorer that year, has only scored three times in 11 games this season, a significant drop from his career average of scoring every 1.4 games in 97 NRL appearances.

The 26-year-old is now linked to a potential move to the Super League, with several clubs reportedly interested, according to Yorkshire Live.

The Dragons aim to offload Ravalawa to free up salary cap space for a major signing like Saifiti, who has been informed by the Knights that he can leave. The Dragons will also lose Blues star Zac Lomax to the Eels at the end of the season but have re-signed Mat Feagai.
