St George Illawarra’s bid to sign veteran prop Matt Lodge fell over late last week after months of negotiations with the ex-Manly forward. Lodge completed a medical with the Dragons, who were willing to offer him a near minimum-wage, one-year deal.

However, the parties failed to come to terms and Lodge, 29, remains without a contract for 2025.

Flanagan has openly conceded he is light on for experienced middle forwards with few options on the player market.

The Dragons have one roster spot remaining in their top-30 squad, which includes several promising uncapped forwards, led by Loko Pasifiki Tonga, Hamish Stewart and Finau Latu.
