The St George Illawarra Dragons have come one step closer to securing their man, with officially tabling a three-year deal to Scott Drinkwater to make the move to Wollongong.
After the Cowboys allowed Drinkwater to negotiate with rivals last week, the Daily Telegraph is reporting a million dollar per year contract has been offered to Drinkwater, with the Bears, Bulldogs, Sharks and Wests Tigers all also enquiring for his services.
The Dragons are reportedly the only club to lodge an official offer, with the Red V earmarking Drinkwater as the long-term fullback successor to Clint Gutherson.
Although the Drinkwater camp is looking for clarity surrounding the club's future plans beyond this year, mostly surrounding their forward pack and halves pairing, with his manager Chris Orr revealing Drinkwater would like to see a roadmap before committing to terms.

Two surprise clubs emerge as candidates to secure Drinkwater’s signature
With the North Queensland Cowboys locking up Jaxon Purdue until the end of the decade, many have speculated that Drinkwater's time as the club's first-choice fullback is closing.
Along with the Cowboys allowing him to speak with rival teams, premiership-winning halfback Chad Townsend has thrown in a surprise landing spot for the 28-year-old.
When appearing on SEN's Saturday League Kick-Off, Townsend suggested Drinkwater would be an ideal fit in the Cronulla Sharks system.
With constant noise surrounding Will Kennedy's future, who is off-contract at year's end, it could be a legitimate option for the Shire-based club to sign Drinkwater.
“I think he could fit in the Sharks, to be honest,” Townsend said on SEN's Saturday League Kick-Off.
