St George Illawarra players are rallying around Dylan Egan after confirmation the impressive rookie suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and won’t play again in 2025.

 

The 20-year-old backrower had emerged as one of the NRL’s breakout stars, and one of the Dragons best players this season, before suffering a heartbreaking injury early in Sunday’s win over Brisbane.

 

The club on Monday night confirmed Egan will require an ACL reconstruction, with the Gerringong junior facing a lengthy rehabilitation of around nine months.

“This is awful news for Dylan and for the club,” Dragons coach Shane Flanagan said in a statement.

“He’s not just a really important player for us this season and into the future, he’s a wonderful young man at the start of his NRL career and a very popular player within our group.

 

“For now we’re all going to rally around him and make sure he has plenty of care and support as he goes through his surgery and rehab. We look forward to welcoming him back into the team bigger and better in 2026.”

 

Dragons teammate Damien Cook on Tuesday morning paid tribute to Egan’s impact.

 

“At such a young age, he’s already sort of a leader — probably without knowing it. Just the way he carries himself and does all the right things,” Cook said on the Big Sports Breakfast.

 

“He’s probably been one of our top three best players all year once he debuted.
