ST George-Illawarra has snared two promising players from is most bitter NRL rivals, signing Sharks duo Beau Scott and Tony Caine.
Centre Scott, who played for Illawarra and the Dragons in the lower grades before joining the Sharks in 2005, signed a three-year deal, while utility Caine, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in his NRL debut, has linked with the Dragons for two seasons.
Dragons coach Nathan Brown likened Scott, 22, to club stalwart Shaun Timmins.
"He is of a similar mould to Shaun Timmins, a centre with the necessary attributes to progress to the back row," Brown said.
Caine, 19, the younger brother of former NRL player Joel and current Dragon Jess Caine, injured his knee five minutes into his first-grade debut against New Zealand Warriors in round 12 this season.
"Tony unfortunately suffered a severe injury this season that has kept him out of football, but we don't believe this will prevent him from playing rugby league and reaching his potential," Brown said.
Our recruitment staff and I have watched him over a number of years, and we believe he is an exciting prospect."
