Tom Eisenhuth’s reported contract extension with the St George Illawarra Dragons highlights his significant impact on the team during his first season at the club.
As one of Shane Flanagan’s early signings, Eisenhuth has exceeded expectations, becoming a key player for the Dragons in 2024.
His defensive work rate, versatility in playing multiple positions, and consistent performances have made him an integral part of the team as they push for a finals spot.
Having previously played 58 games with the Melbourne Storm under Craig Bellamy, Eisenhuth’s experience has translated well to the Dragons, where he has started 16 of 21 games this season.
His near-94 percent tackle success rate and his ability to adapt to various roles on the field have been crucial to the team’s success.
Given Eisenhuth’s age, any contract extension is expected to be on a year-to-year basis, but his contribution this season has undoubtedly justified the Dragons’ desire to keep him in the squad as they continue their rebuild under Flanagan.
