Josh Dugan at Centre of negotiating nightmare as rivals Cronulla circle

0 Comments

His coach thinks he is a fullback and Josh Dugan thinks he’s a fullback but Josh Dugan could be pushed to arch rivals Cronulla-Sutherland because St George Illawarra’s recruitment team believe the off-contract star should be considered a centre at the negotiating table.

Dugan has recently played in the centres for both Australia and New South Wales and Dragons officials believe his future is at centre for the Wollongong club but Dugan is adamant his market value should be considered at fullback rates because he indeed is playing fullback for the Saints.

Now the Sharks are reportedly in the hunt after offering him a $1 million-a-year deal.

“Obviously I want to stay in the NRL – I feel like I’m at an age now where I’ve still got a few more good years in me in the NRL. That’s my plan,” Dugan told AAP.

“Hopefully it’s with the Dragons. I want to stay at the Dragons but as a player you’ve got to look after you future and your family’s future as well.”

The Dragons and Sharks play on Friday night at Kogarah.

Dugan will miss the game through injury.
