The final piece in St George Illawarra's 2019 team jigsaw will soon be in place with a Dragons deal believed to be imminent for Parramatta playmaker Corey Norman. St George Illawarra announced on Thursday they had re-signed NSW back-rower Tariq Sims for three more seasons and thrown an NRL lifeline to ex-Brisbane flyer Lachlan Maranta. But another coup
is set to be announced as early as Friday with Norman poised to link with the Dragons on a three-year deal. Norman, 28, is believed to have secured a release from the final year of his Eels contract on Thursday. Norman's manager Paul Sutton is overseas but is expected to finalise a Dragons deal by week's end. Eels five-eighth Norman is expected to move to fullback for St George Illawarra, throwing the future of Dragons No.1 Matt Dufty - who only recently re-signed until the end of 2019 - in limbo.
